Don't go into the hardware store by yourself to escape wifey. Might end up being even more expensive!

I know a lot of their stock was more australian based and therefore came into direct competition

Mine's now £360 and expected to rise, sorry to say it's the main reason I intend to trade it in as I'm only doing around 4,000 miles a year now. DAVE. |

Compared with some countries our VED is not too bad. IIRC my daughter pays a lot more in Oz for her Honda SUV. Jules |

Are you replacing it with something else? If so, what ? I enquire out of interest because I would struggle to find an alternative for my FL2 at the moment. At 9 years old the depreciation (the biggest cost of running car) on mine is hitting the sweet spot. Jules |

I can see where you are coming from. Probably will keep paying for my Freelander at present.

Don’t forget the ‘ Luxury Car Tax ‘ any car registered from 2021 onwards with a list price of £40,000 will be subject to an extra £320 per annum RFL . That will last until it’s six years old . So being cynical a large number of those vehicles will be first registered as company cars and then from year 3 on , hit the used car market where Joe Public buying them second hand gets to pay swingeing taxes on his cleaner greener car . Strangely spend the same on a Pickup or Transit type and the tax is not applied … 2009 GS Auto Zermatt Silver - Sold June 21 after 10 years of ownership

Well Jules, the only motor that tickled our fancy, is.......the Skoda Yeti, I know there are some issues with petrol engines, auto boxes and the preface lift had a few electrical gremlins but it's the only design that actually meets our needs, without appearing to come out of the same jelly mould, I enjoy the Freelander and SWMBO is not keen on letting it go. PS...we did try 3 Yetis out about 3 years ago and found them accommodating, repsonsive but a harder ride, although all 3 where on Pirrelli tyres and wer'e used to a softer allweather tyre. DAVE. |

I sat in a friends 3008 and found myself in a low seating position with about 18" of head room, couldn't quite see the point of that. On the upside the French hate us so we should support their motor industry and sell our water and electricity to them. Last edited by OLOSTEVE on 11th Oct 2023 4:05 pm. Edited 1 time in total |
