Im sure somebody can give you its exactly, but I think I paid £245 for 1 year on my 52 plate, but from some point in 06 onwards its something like £485?
Just paid £425, that's the current road tax for an 06+

Hurts mummy but it's worth it

These government ministers take the piss when it comes to motoring! No matter who you vote in, they all wanna shaft you on petrol and road tax.

Just make sure you get one with history and an owner that is always checking oil etc.
History is vital on cars to make sure maintenance is kept etc.
TBH Id wait till November time to buy as you will save yourself about £1k!

Just to make it clear, there is no such thing as an AP2 in the UK.

All UK supplied cars are AP1 irrelevant of styling or chassis variants.

Easiest way to describe the variant is by the year of the car.

Agreed, the AP thing causes confusion.

I'd say pre and post 04.

They are quite a bit different to drive, and I personally prefer the 04. Although I really like the way the MY00 feels as it's a bit more raw, but only due to small differences.
