VRT query on a Merc

shabbyalonso

Hi guys, I've tried numerous times but not having any joy.

Am trying to find out (before I ring revenue - which is probably easier!) what the VRT will be on a 2003 Merc SL350 with approx 50k miles on the clock. Could anyone shine any light?

Thats what I got.

The OMSP on the VRT calculator is so out of date it's ridiculous really. Given the car market has gone to pot, the prices they are calculating VRT on are way above what they should be but sure what can ya do

Whatever the VRT is, you will have to pay it before getting the chance to appeal it for a more realistic OMSP valuation!
