Vauxhall Urges Customers To Buy Now And Beat The Tax Man

March 15, 2017 by Vauxhall

Luton – Vauxhall is encouraging customers to buy in March from its best-selling range of passenger cars to avoid next month's Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) increase.

The updated road tax measures will provide a big shake-up of the existing system, with the revision of the vehicle tax bands affecting everyone buying a new car from April 2017 onwards. Big savings can be made across the award-winning Vauxhall range if you buy now before the new rules come in to force.

Based on four years of ownership, the Corsa SRi 1.0i Turbo (90PS) Start/Stop ecoFLEX in three-door hatch body style will go from £60 (zero VED in the first year, subsequent years at £20 standard rate) under the current regulations to £560 on the 1st April.

If you're in the market for one of the best compact family cars on the market, the Astra SRi 1.0i Turbo (105PS) Start/Stop ecoFLEX in five-door hatch body style sees a VED hike of £500, where you would pay £60 under current VED regulations.

For customers looking for a compact SUV, the new regulations mean a Mokka X Active 1.6 CDTi (110PS) Start/Stop ecoFLEX FWD model will see VED increase by £500 to £560.

These savings are in addition to Vauxhall's Sales Event which runs 17th to 21st March 2017, where you can get that new Vauxhall you've always wanted plus a great deal more. As well as beating the taxman, you can get £500* spending money and 20 per cent off genuine Vauxhall accessories**. And that's on top of our already great offers already available.

'We don't want our customers to be caught out on VED come 1st April,' said Leon Caruso, Vauxhall's Retail Sales Director. 'Not only can they beat the tax hike if they order in March, but customers can also take advantage of our great finance offers, making their new Vauxhall even more affordable.'
