Exactly. It's a value for money game. Gotta get these cars driven.On a per mile rate it's certainly becoming a bit mad!

What are the general costs in France Phil? I was considering getting a runaround for our house to enable us to fly in & out from Stanstead (dirt cheap flights, think I paid £15 two weeks ago flying back to U.K. from Poitiers)Glad we only pay tax on getting the logbook for the vehicle and once they are over 10 years not a major issue.
New high performance cars a different story.
We do pay for motorway journeys but they can be avoided to enjoy the national roads but if you need to push on they are there.
Sorry Brian but you have to be a resident in France to legally own a vehicle.What are the general costs in France Phil?

Understood. Pretty ridiculous but it is what it is I guess Phil. ThanksSorry Brian but you have to be a resident in France to legally own a vehicle.
I can no longer own and register a car in the UK as I'm no longer a resident there.
People have been doing it with second homes but the authorities are clamping down and if involved in an accident you are in a deep mess.
Looks achievable with some moderate admin, Brian. https://wise.com/gb/blog/buying-a-car-in-france#:~:text=If you're a Brit,have an address in France.What are the general costs in France Phil?

Thanks mate! I’m a little confused now..Looks achievable with some moderate admin, Brian. https://wise.com/gb/blog/buying-a-car-in-france#:~:text=If you're a Brit,have an address in France.
Indeed, I can't buy and register a motor vehicle of any kind in Sicily. A pain as the house is atop a steep hill!!!Sorry Brian but you have to be a resident in France to legally own a vehicle.

But could that be due to Brexit and a UK passport/residency?Indeed, I can't buy and register a motor vehicle of any kind in Sicily. A pain as the house is atop a steep hill!!!
It's an odd one as I'm a British citizen but a French resident.But could that be due to Brexit and a UK passport/residency?
I have only a Danish passport (EU)It's an odd one as I'm a British citizen but a French resident.
Unless you have dual passports I'm guessing.
I needed to be an Italian resident to buy one, Brexit made no difference to that I believe.But could that be due to Brexit and a UK passport/residency?
Same in Sweden, if you don’t have a personal number.I needed to be an Italian resident to buy one, Brexit made no difference to that I believe.
Come on guys think what you get for your VED - potholes, non maintained roads, bus/cycle lanes, cameras, speed bumps, parking costs, flooding (drains not cleared) I could go on. Am I disgruntled you bet I am.Re the 1st year's tax being over £2000, it's more of a manufacturer problem as it's in the price of the car, like extra car tax rather than VED even though that's what they call it
If it were VED as such and you'd bought a car for investment you could cash it in on a sorn but you can't
Yet another government rip-off
They want all the big polluting cars off the road, but look at it like this £735 is £14 a week approx
Anything worth having over 10 years old is over £300 to tax so for an extra coffee and blueberry muffin a week you get to drive something special
Still cheaper than smoking and way better for your health
And the sanitation!Come on guys think what you get for your VED - potholes, non maintained roads, bus/cycle lanes, cameras, speed bumps, parking costs, flooding (drains not cleared) I could go on. Am I disgruntled you bet I am.
