Based on new tax rules, would it now be better to sell towards to the end of a month and then to buy at the start of a month..?

    The Road Fund ceased operation in 1936 and was wiped-out completely in 1955 - So it won't make any difference whatsoever.

    Why are you being to obtuse and contrary? You knew what the OP meant. Idiot.

    One may not know what the OP meant, however a subsequent reply summarised that it will make little or no difference, as the buyer may purchase to suit their own needs. The cost of a month's VED is not going to sway me from a car I want and I'd proably let the seller absorb it if I felt that way.
