£1140!! Is that correct? How do the locals afford to run cars?
For a “car” it’s quite reasonable more like the UK Karlos, but anything over 4 lt and euro “0” or whatever my 80 is, they sting you unmercifully.
£1140??It’s no consolation I know, but the annual tax on my 80 went up 300lei this year to 6,000lei.
That’s a rise of circa £60 to £1140...
How much road tax do you pay for yours Dervis ,For my 120 its about 540 euro about the same as the UK .Sounds like daylight robbery Clive.... with a vehicle like your pays to drive off road only ....lol

Of course it’s my option, there’s another and that’s put a divider behind the front seats, black out the rear side windows (or replace with gullwings) and remove the middle and third rows of seats. Then I could register it as commercial.
Trouble is, I love my 80 for what it is, a 7 (or 8) seater reasonably comfy people carrier, 100% Offroad capable. If it was something else it wouldn’t have the same appeal to me.
Only this weekend there were 8 of us in it, 5 adults and 3 kids, it was perfect!
As it is, it’s my DD, and I love to be driving it every day. I also think the DD aspect is good for the truck. If I parked it up and used it for Offroad only, it would hardly get driven, get damp inside, and generally seize-up on me. I don’t have a garage and don’t want one either, so I pay the price. It’s just annoying that they jack it up every year, in leaps and bounds, 10 or 20 quid would be one thing, but an increase of 60 quid in a year? Mama...
End of.
Yes your right there Clive is just there is a agenda I'm seeing more so in penalising older vehicles now more than ever by jacking up the road tax and other devious means. A lot has to be said about the scandal of modern day diesels and were ever getting close to them banning them in cities.
I think were good here for a good while still as theres still so many old vehicles on the road but in Europe it s scary picture.
Oh well this is life
That is a very reasonable price to have to pay, I think in the UK it is about the same as your price for pre 2001 cars . But in the south of the island anything over 2.6 engine size is 540 odd euro no matter how much bigger it is, but pickup trucks pay about 280 euro as they get special treatment to help country side folk as they need them to tend to there land , pity SUVs don't get the special rates .I pay every September here so of last paid close to 1300TL equivalent to 280 Euros in todays money. Quite a bargain compared to you guys I must admit.
