Vive la difference with a V6 bargain: V6-engined French cars are cheap to buy and needn't cost a fortune to run

摘要

The road fund licence has become one of the most important issues when buying a used car. Apart from asking what the mileage is, mate, you now need to know whether it was registered after March 2006. As CAP Automotive points out, the cost of taxing some cars that are only seven years old is now about a third of their value. It means cars registered since 23 March 2006 with CO_2 emissions of between 226g/km and 255g/km now cost ￡475 a year to tax, and cars that emit more than 255g/km cost ￡490.
