Showroom Tax
22 March 2010

Many motorists are now thinking twice about buying a new car because of the forthcoming Showroom Tax
From April 1, new car owners will be subject to a one-off first-year charge on top of their usual VED. Based on a cars C02 emission, it could add anything between £70 and £515 to the cost of taxing a new vehicle.

This news is reflected in Increased late plate and Nearly New car sales at UnbeatableCar, with customers buying their 09 and 59-plate models in their droves since March to avoid the introduction of the tax as well as save over £7,000 of the list price of selected models such as UnbeatableCars 09-Reg Ford Focus 1.6 Zetec S 5dr Less than a year old with 5,000 Miles for only £11,999 saving a whopping £7,429 or the 59-Reg Ford Focus 1.6 Zetec S only 6 months old with 4,000 Miles for only £12,599 saving a whopping £6,829.
UnbeatableCar expects to see sales of nearly new models rise sharply from April onwards as motorists look to avoid paying the surcharge.

Says Mark Sopp, Managing Director of UnbeatableCar: I would urge buyers to consider nearly new as an alternative as they will enjoy all the benefits of a new car – just without the extra costs associated with getting their vehicle onto the road. The Showroom Tax is clearly going to have a negative effective on consumer confidence over the coming weeks and months as drivers think twice about buying new.
