Buying new car from dealership
Put a deposit down for a new car from Kia, was told by salesman the road tax is £30 per year but turns out it’s actually £140 per year. We Really like the car but it’s yet another outlay we weren’t expecting (every year) any suggestions on how to proceed with dealer? Or am I just gonna have to lump it!?

I'd go speak to the dealer about it. Tell him your concerns and that the car isn't going to be financially viable. At the very least you're entitled to your deposit back. Or maybe they will offer to sweeten the deal?You can have results or excuses, but not both.Challenge - be 14 Stone BY XMAS!

Go back and get deposit back.
Then do the MSE thing and check the below link to make sure you're getting the best price. Drive the deal is worth checking.

seems unlikely a car salesman would 'forget' the new tax bands came into force last year (presuming this is a brand new car) as AFAIK, there isn't a £30 tax band for new cars now.
I don't think it's something you'll be able to do much about though as it's not something they have control over, and I suppose there is some onus on you to double check.
Perhaps a free service/tank of fuel/ car mats etc to off set some of the costs? The purchase price will include the first years tax, but it's not a huge expense when you look at the total cost of buying a new car - the difference is less than £10 per month0 -
