NEW CAR ROAD TAX CAR PRICE INFLATION

Doesn’t matter. It’s list price. OP is stuck. There is no way round this.Jenni_D said:Ask them for a discount of £1,065 to cover your additional costs that they (as they represent the manufacturer) have caused?
Question: where do VOSA/whoever get the list price from by which to determine the tax classification?
EDIT: Misunderstood this sorry. I see what you are saying but I doubt a dealer will eat £1K since it comes out of their profit and they’ve probably already given away most of their margin. Dealers make relatively little to nothing on new cars.0 -
The dealer doesn't have any leeway, and the price he charges is irrelevant. DVLA use the manufacturer's list price, including any options.Herzlos said:It depends if the dealer just enters a price and can use the old one, or if the pricing is selected from a list and the dealer doesn't have the same leeway. The price includes options, doesn't it? So there must be some leeway to at least increase the price.0
