Cooper S Road Tax

Hi gang

Been having a look at a 2002 S today. Nice car, drives well and has a nice spec.
Forgot to ask the dealer the question. How much is the road tax on one of these?

Kind regards to all,

Brad.

But it isn't really funny - so long as the hot hatches laugh at the high tax bracket cars & 4x4's and they think high performance cars should be singled out, and so on and so forth, we are all divided, and therefore easier for government to pull our pants down taxation wise - we need to defend each other - or we'll all end up in Prius's

We got off pretty lightly with £205, I was expecting worse

Lets face it, our RFL is a minor annual cost dwarfed by fuel, insurance and depreciation costs. The relatively good news is that HM government plan only minor increases to "our" RFL price over the next 3 years.

Theiving Robbing toe-rags...

£205 is the highest tax that you can pay on a car registered before March 2006

We are you will be pleased to note in the same tax band as all supercars, wankel engined RX things and of course the greatest threat to mankind ever the 4x4 (anyone seen the mpg on the new mitsubishi??? its better than most golfs!!!)

Just got my demand for money with menaces yesterday not a happy bunny

Think I might get a Cooper D before my tax runs out, £35 a year... Bargain.
The cost of Tax for one year on the S would pay a monthly payment towards a new car!

It's interesting to see how such a small proportion of the annual cost of running a car (the RFL) is having such a major effect on people's buying decisions.
