911 V.E.D.(Tax) 2024

[g7jhp]

It's quite surprising the variation in cost of V.ED. on different 911 models.

It's a relatively small cost in terms of owning a 911 with petrol, insurance and serving on top, but it adds up.

Classic airccoled are affordable (£345).
Pre-2001 watercooled are affordable (£345)
Water cooled 2000 to pre-2006 are reasonable (£415).
997s are expensive with Gen1 (£735) worse then Gen2 (£710).
991.1's are reasonable (£415).
991.2 (£500) and 992.1 (£510) are OK

By model:

3.2 Carrera £345
964 C2 £345
964 turbo £345
993 C2 £345
993 turbo £345

996.1 C2 (2000) £345

996.2 C2 £415
996 turbo (2003) £415
996 turbo S (2005) £415
997.1 C2S (2005) £415


997.1 C2 (2006) £735
997.1 C2S (2006) £735
997.1 GT3 (2007) £735
997.1 GT3 RS (2007) £735
997.1 turbo (2007) £735

997.2 C2 (2009) £710
997.2 C2S (2009) £710
997.2 GT3 (2010) £735
997.2 GT3 RS (2010) £735
997 turbo S (2011) £735

991.1 C2 (2012) £415
991.1 C2S (2011) £415

991.1 turbo (2014) £710

991.2 turbo (2016) £415

991.2 turbo S (2017) £500 (£190+£310 due to list over £40k)
991.2 T C2 (2018) £500 (£190+£310 due to list over £40k)
991.2 GTS (2017) £500 (£190+£310 due to list over £40k)

992 C2S (2020) £510 (£190+£320 due to list over £40k)

Earlier aircooled cars often have higher entry prices and maintenance costs.

Later water cooled cars often have higher purchase price, but lower running costs.

996's still seem to the 911 sweet spot for those on a budget.

No real point, may be of use to some.

Good work.

If you put it into an exportable spreadsheet, backward compatible software of course to Windows 3.1, all of the 993 owners will buy a copy.

If it's cheap

[coffeekid]

The 2017 and 2018 cars you listed. The extra expensive car tax will have expired now so only £190

[Hoofy]

That's really useful. Thanks.

However, I feel like just spending another £20k to avoid paying over £700 seems a bit cutting off my nose to spite my face.

Wondered that!

Yes strange I was discussing this with SWMBO 18 991.2 turbo s is £190 and 07 997.1 turbo is £735. No fair 991.2 turbo s owners laughing all the way to the bank!

[Armitage.Shanks]

I'm sure when Labour look at all this I can see some 'uplifts' on current over £40k vehicles, and the loss of the rolling 40yr nil VED/MOT historic category, especially as some 80s cars were better built and could become cheap daily drivers.

[Mr Fix It]

It's definitely a factor that I consider when purchasing cars, since I am fed up with giving the gov lots of tax. Yes, that means I sometimes pay more for a newer, or older car, which isn't mathematically sound, but due to my previous experience and distaste of dealing with HMRC etc.

[Grantstown]

A fair few 911s will be taken off the road for the winter, potentially saving road tax. I have taken mine off the road, but have always been too stupid (busy) to actually get around to declaring SORN, so no benefit for me.

Same price as the '17 991.2 GT3, bargain

No doubt Labour will fix that by putting all of them up to £1295!

Yeah, my ‘18 991.2 GT3 was £190 when it was due in May, surprised!

[c4sman]

My 4.7. Maserati Granturismo v8 £225 was £600+ but has now dropped down

My 997 3.8 GTS £700+

Makes no sense to be but hope the fix isn’t just to put everything up!

Why is the 997 so expensive to tax?

It’s now old enough to benefit of a low tax, right?

Because I bought one

[996Targa]

This year I have paid £290 for our 991.2, £190 for an Abarth 595 and have the notice for our 2001 Boxster, £415!

What do you mean? Big engine cars from 2006 to about 2016 have a £700+ VED.
