christ.... that is chronic. does that apply to ALL uk "import" cars then?



Applies to all cars with some exeptions. Taxes are based on weight, motor volume and bhp. On top of that v.a.t. (25% of import price + 25% of taxes!)

Just crazy. Other examples are fees for speeding and other "misbehaviours". Driving 30 km/h to fast where speed limits are 70 km/h or more will cost you £540 (if caught). Driving with faulty lights cost £166. The result of this policy? We just give a damn.
