MX-5 OC Forum

After a few years of Corvette ownership I have returned to the MX5 fold. Bought a car from the UK rather than from Japan . On tuesday got my 1999 from the garage only to find out today that the car had no tax. A rush to the post office and a further £101 to tax for 6 months ( the Corvette was cheaper ) Anyway while sitting in the car park someone reverses into the front of the car. A visit to the panel beater reveals a bill of £321 just to fix the damaged paintwork. Hopefully the insurance will pay for it and hopefully I will have a bit of better luck with the car.

 Sorry to hear of your woes, hope they got a lesson in driving and using Eyesight from you hope the car gets sorted asap for you.  then the smiles will return......... especially when you go to the filling station over the Vette.

Nice looking car though, the Mk2 is getting better in my eyes every time I see one.

 ouch, sorry about the crash !  did a dealer let you drive a car off his forecourt with no road tax ?  surely they shouldn't do that ? 

 Certainly not a good start, but, in theory at least, it should only get better.

Likewise I am surprised that a dealer let a car leave their forecourt without tax on it - poor show - dealers could make a big difference to the number of uninsured cars out there if they made a point of taxing them. (On the basis that you need insurance to tax)

G'day mate, Welcome to the Forum

Bad start, but a bright future ahead.......enjoy
