I believe the later ATRs are in the higher tax bracket, £400+ ?

A BMW 325/330 coupe diesel is what im after

(not to replace the Lude though).

Mitsubishi Galant estate/Legnum VR4 - awesome family car. When my son was born I sold my 'lude and bought a Galant - I can't recommend it enough!

The fact that I sold it and bought another 'lude when he turned 3 is irrelevant

I had a '56 Diesel Coupe years ago. Absolutely awesome machine! The torque blew you away when you mashed the foot on the carpet

. Suffice to say I only averaged 32mpg in the car

. I would certainly have another 330d (sport touring this time) but you have to so much older to get a good car within budget.

Unfortunately just taken the call that it is repairable

All my dreaming of a new set of wheels was in vain

Dont think so. Thought only cars after '06 and high C02 fell in this category? Think its £265 compared to pre '51 of £225

it was after March 2001. I had an astra turbo coupe which was made in April 2001 & ended up in the higher bracket

Servicing costs huge, they rust and you'll have a numb arse?
