Premium Road Tax and a changing RRP

grecianite

Hello,

I was just looking for some general advice re being sold a car on the understanding it would not suffer the additional £335 tax and then on delivery fiding it would.

When I ordered the car in April 2021 the RRP was below £40K and thus no additional road tax.  The salesman knew I wanted to be below £40K as I'd mentioned it a few times (and have e-mail correspondence to back this up).

I took delivery of the car last week and over the past 9 months my original spec has crept over the £40K marker.  Given I bought the car with the understanding it wouldn't be  attrcacted to premium tax, I was wondering what I could do to resolve?

I'm hoping it might be an admin issue and they should have submitted the RRP at the time of the sale, but I doubt it is this

Any help and advice isreally appreciated as this car has taken me many many years to save for!  The extra cost of 5 years will be £1,670, so something worth fighting for!

Thanks,
John

RRP that applies is the close of business the day before registration.

You could ask the Dealer to make a financial contribution.
