Yesterday afternoon we took another step sideways in our mission to get a second car. We went to look at some second hand, mid sized vans and came home trying to decide whether or not to buy a new Toyota Aygo...
There are a couple of miserable taxes applied to vans that I wasn't 100% aware of and the upshot is that it will cost us about 9000kr (£1000 or $1700) per year to have it on the road. Suddenly it's not so attractive. The salesman suggested that we have a look at the Aygo because it is cheap to buy, tax and run. Being around the magical 55 000kr mark above which cars are taxed at 180%, it is not bad value, it will do 22km/l (54 miles/gallon I think) and it comes in a rather fetching special edition red.
I think the other options are a Ford Ka (slated by Jeremy Clarkson as it is Fiat Panda in disguise) or a Citroen C1 which is the same car but a bit cheaper and a bit uglier, but can have free air conditioning.
Aj's is a special edition red & very nice - it has funny windy handle things on the door & you have to open the doors witha key - quite retro really.
ReplyDeleteDo you need air con for those two warm summer days?
