are all hawkeyes high tax band

 

Most but not all.

I have seen them on 55-registrations but there are a handful on '06.

 

is that just wrx's

 

Orite mate. I don't think so, if you get one on a 55 plate I think its considerably cheaper but I could be wrong though!! The jdm one's though are cheaper and vary in price mines around 225 for a year but I'm sure there's someone on snet that's about 140 a year the lucky sod!!

Nope sti's also.

 

ah ok, jdm sti hawks wont come cheap though will they..thats if they can be found at all

 

Hurst Cars have a very nice white one in.

 

No problem mate. Nah they don't lol for a nice well maintained one you got to be looking 13k and upwards and are pretty hard to come by. If I was to go back to another scoob I would go back to a prodrive bug not to everyones taste but got a big soft spot for the bugs

 

Just get it LPG converted that should drop the price

 

My 06 plate hawk was on the cheaper tax band, I also have a mate with a 55 plate JDM hawk STi thats £140 for the year!!!

 

Mines worth every single penny

 

Just sold my 55plate hawk sti , was 240 a year tax ,,, moved onto a hatchback sti and the tax is double lol

 

Depends on the date of registration.
23rd March 2006 is the cut off date - before that and your car tax rate is based on engine size, after and it's based on emissions.
Nothing to do with WRX or STI, other than the amount of CO2 they pump out.

If you can get hold of a Hawk that was registered 22nd March or before, happy days

I do recall seeing a post on here from someone claiming their, post 23rd March, Hawk was getting really cheap tax band (around £76 iirc) due the emissions being listed as lower than they actually are and no one was willing to update the DVLA (and why would they )

 

Not all true Lunchmoney.

For cars registered before 1st March 2001 the tax band goes on engine size, 1549cc and below and above 1549cc

For cars registered 1st March 2001 and after it goes on emissions (bands A-M) although for cars registered between 1st March 2001 and 22 March 2006 the bands are capped at band K (which is where WRX's and STi's lie, currently £285 yr) see link below

Tax Bands

As for imports, seems to be hit and miss what tax bracket they land in. I'm assuming its all down to how they're registered and what emissions info (if any) is supplied! Do a DVLA search to find out how much a year it is for any particular car!

DVLA Check

 

Fair enough, I sit slightly corrected.

Take what I've said and what he said

 

Yeap correct hence why all my cars end up being pre 2001 lol

 

ive just enquired about this car and he says it is £240 6 mths tax yet it was registered on the 6th of march 2006 ?

Will this be another car that does not fit the bill for an insignificant reason?

 

2 factors, one I was hoping it was in the cheaper tax band having read the comments on this thread and two I made an offer that was declined so I wont be buying it but the reasons arnt insignificant

 

wouldn't takr £8500?

tbh id stay away from any 2.5 as there a ticking time bomb, and you seen as tight as a ducks ar$e

 

offered a bit more than that and we all don't have large amounts of money in our banks so how you can call me tight I don't know.. I don't begrudge spending I simply don't have it to spend also wasn't it you that posted a comment about the seller being 'so far away' ? reluctant to travel too are we?

 

a lot of us don't have the big bank accounts but with a 2.5 imo your buying trouble.

I have and do travel for cars, furthest ive been was 3hrs away and a shed, my leon came from Nottingham which is 2hrs and was mint,

I decided against Subaru ownership again as there getting old now and starting to need chuncks spending on them regardless of miles or age

By the time you've actually bought a car Hawkeye's will be tax exempt anyway...

 

thats correct we dont all have loads of money and im far from a tight **** i can tell you. And i appreciate the advice on the 2.5

strange one.. going off that and the above posts it seems like he is paying over the odds there then

 

you all call me for the repost but you lot are worse than me for repeating yourselves

 

Not unless you can magically make them older than 1974 https://www.gov.uk/vehicle-exempt-from-vehicle-tax

Its safe to say my comment went straight over your head.....but hey ho.
