14 seconds to 60
rear drum brakes…
not really my thing
YUK!
top speed 94mph
its clearly not about that though… its the look - rather smashing (i think)
For the market sector, not a bad vehicle… and for now very tax friendly. Good tow vehicle for the Exige
whats the skinny on the tax situation… a lot of people mention it as an asdvantage, but what exactly is the benefit?
The loophole is being closed soon (2007?) but the double-cabs make a good family vehicle, being 4-seater and all, but it’s considered a commercial vehicle meaning you can claim the VAT back and you only pay �500 tax as benefit in kind.
but when you sell the vehicle you have to sell it as VAT qualifying, and pay the VAT to the revenue - right? so net net you dont get any benefit? well, other than making the initial purchase cost 17.5% lower…

No, it doesn’t work like that.
First off the VAT is fully reclaimable, unlike normal vehicles.
The personal tax on having a “company” commercial vehicle is only �500 rather than the stupid amounts this government charges.
Ask your accountant.
Hasn’t Scuffham just bought one? Or was that a Toyota thingy?
Hasn’t ***** just bought one? Or was that a Toyota thingy?

I have run First a Disco commercial,Toyota Landcruiser commercial,and now an 03 Disco commercial,all over a period of around 8 Years.A year ago i was collared by the VAT cause I drove my van to and from work.They wanted 6 years back tax from me,but accepted 3 when proved I had a second vehcle,now I pay tax on �500 a year extra...the 4 wheel drive commercial sector is being targeted..and vans in general.Take note,they check out supermarket car parks for ANY sign written vans,and if you cant prove otherwise i.e. you were buying works bog roll,you`ll get taxed!!
