My advise would be suck it up. There's no sense in what you're planning to do.
Put aside a small bit every month for the tax so it isn't a strain when renewal comes.

You're talking about spending a few quid along with the sale price though.
You're talking €385 for a 1.4 and €636 for a 1.8 diesel. So about €5 a week. You'll easily spend that extra in petrol

Insurance will be cheaper. Its also that when it comes time for tax etc the bill will be smaller.

Insurance difference is going to be negligible, fuel economy will be abt the same if going to petrol and tax is gonna be abt €20 extra a month.

You know your car and know its not a lemon, big risk changing for €20pm
