Background
We don't think its fair that under current policy, someone could save money to purchase a second hand car, which is no longer worth £40,000 and then have to pay £425 per annum on top of the standard VED.
We think that cars depreciate in value and that people buying secondhand cars should not be penalised for trying to save money.
