....so I bought a Disco3

Long time lurker. Looking for a V8.

Found one on eBay.

Now back in Ireland. 05. Ex dealer demo. SE Spec but has nav, triple sunroofs, privacy glass, heated front and rear seats, rear parking sensors. 134k on the clock. £6,700 which I am very happy with.

Had it NCT'd overe here (much tougher than MOT). No problems passing. Expensive first service as replaced all collant pipes and the drive shaft.

...now for the bad part. The road tax on a 4.4l V8 is...........€1,809 per year.


Car has changed my life. Smile Bought a Nissan Leaf too....

That is some serious road tax! Well I suppose someone has got to pay for the 10% corporation tax rate.

Ouch thats a lot to tax, given that it's most likely cleaner than a diesel and your already paying more duty based on the fuel you will use. It's almost like they want us to all have Hybrids Rolling with laughter
