Salesmen should be the ones to check their info, before they impart it as fact. It really doesn't matter if it's £500 or *only* £75....the basic fact remains the same.

I totally agree - thank you

Its amazing how someone would buy a brand new car to save money.

I want to save money, so think i'll go buy a hundred lottery tickets....

Wish i was the sales person when the OP turned up, nice little bonus

Thanks so much for your constructive comments

In any event, it would also be shown on the vehicle order doc what the road fund licence cost was.

If indeed the salesman did say that the road tax was £30, I would be on the phone challenging him about it. But as someone earlier said, it could be a mistake at the DVLA end.

The DVLA paperwork said £0 and the disc arrived this morning and that says nil payment

Problem solved then! Enjoy your Punto. From my experience, you should do!

Unfortunately it isn't.

Year 1 VED is in most cases different to subsequent years, it's the 'showroom tax' effect.

If you had provided the car information earlier as requested, someone could've looked this up for you.

I think we are still making an incorrect assumption here.

Band D (121-130 g/km) vehicles (which the Punto in question sounds like it is) are £0 in year 1, £105 in subsequent years, confirmed here;

Without the model and engine type its hard to say either way. It might be a twin air version or it might be the 1.4...

Thank you Jamie for your comments.

I had already looked it up myself, which was where I got the £105 from, and thanks to Trade Pro for explaining the first year difference.
