I find it fascinating that you undertook such an in depth study into those people you came across who don't like high car tax.

A bit?
It doesnt half come across as muddled up, complain about people buying cheap goods in tescos and at the same time castigate them for overpaying for a house.

I think it's completely justifiable to criticise the governments car tax policy, it's a joke! I think that's a fairly widely held view no matter where people shop or where they bought their houses.

Not at all if he can meet me at the tax office and pay mine for a year

Pretty sure he can afford few other posters tax, too.

First boards motor meeting at the tax office car park ever

I'm as stingey as funk but I pay high tax on a cheap car. What am I doing wrong?

I pay cheap tax on a cheap car. Can I still shop in Tesco?

Absolutely agree. It is far too cheap to tax a car in this country. The tax should depend on the Euro norm, mass and much stricter emissions brackets. I find it a disgrace that a 2009 520d is cheaper to tax than many petrol b-blass hatchbacks.

Tasty motor on the outside, but the centre console on those must be one of the worst, nastiest looking centre consoles ever created!
Arthur Daley would not approve!

Friend of mines car. Spotless interior. He's the sort of guy that would make sure it got everything it needed while he owned it. Nct til next feb.

TommyGun2017 · 09-03-2019 01:50PM

2 x Avensis T180 D4D. Both have fresh NCT’s. Bit drab but nice spec for the year. Choose your colour....

Those 180bhp 2.2 d-4d engines are a gamble even at those prices, the head gaskets are made of chocolate.

Yeah I was wondering what they’d be like reliability wise. Is it the same unit from Lexus IS220d ?

bazz26 · 09-03-2019 02:14PM

Yes afaik.

colm_mcm · 09-03-2019 03:09PM

Yep same one. They’re not even that fast compared to the 150.

johndaman66 · 09-03-2019 04:51PM

The first one in particular while looking seems pricey especially considering the high motor tax which we all know is killing the value of these cars. While I'd drive an Avensis all day long most spending that sort of motor tax on a car of that sort will most likely want something more up market than eventless. A very limited market I'd expect.

Cool, were getting 2 extra days next February

Picked up a 2005 corolla saloon 1.4 petrol 220,000 km with extras like air conditioning, alloys and a tow bar.

Nct 01/20
3 full months tax
Fsh
Tyres 90%
Serviced a week ago

For the sum of 850 euro

What a bargain

Its nice, but you will always be kicking yourself for not getting a 20t or 20T.

But for bangernomics, its excellent.

Years test, cheap(ish) tax, €1950

Put it in for another test at the end of the year and get two years

bear1 · 11-03-2019 11:47AM

If the head gasket doesn't kill you with those avensis, the abysmal fuel consumption will.
