Curiously, the person who asked the question has only posted 5 times in the thread, so the majority of the thread is dullness not-related to the original question. Who'd have thought it possible on CUK?

Yeah, I think the top 7 should be banned as a result

Or shell out (up to) 19k on a new Cee'd and spend the leftover on some new cardigans and slippers, and for god sake, that couduroy jacket needs some new elbow patches.

If I was looking for safe, luxurious and quality family transport with a £19K budget I'd be looking at

Audi : Audi Q7 3.0 TDI Quattro S Line DSG

You're in training to be a moderator, aren't you?

You're like a PCSO, itching to be a real copper!

DSG box is excellent, I must admit. Wifey had a Gti not so long ago with DSG and I was very impressed. Not been in the Q7. That's an awful lot of car for £19k, mileage not too bad either.

More importantly VAT qualifying as they're N1 light commercial vehicles.

Does it not attract a £3000 charge, under ITEPA s155(3)?

Vans for which the restricted private use condition is NOT met, s155(3):
2005/06 and 2006/07: £500 (£350 if the age of the van (EIM22729) is 4 years or more on the last day of the tax year)
2007/08 onwards (all vans, regardless of age): £3,000 - but this is subject to the special treatment of “zero emission vans, see below

Since you are using another car for your 1000 miles a week, I'd suggest that your use fails the test

the primary reason that the employee has the use of the van at all is because they need it for business travel in the normal course of their job. The business travel requirement is not satisfied if a person is allowed private use of a van which they do not primarily need and use for business travel.

Oi do you work here... Armstrong Communications?

Ok what about a Kia Sorento vs Mercedes A-Class in a head on crash?

Come on keep it up, we could stretch to another 25 pages of blinkered tedium.

That's a bit better

[russell]

I think a big plus with the Kia is no one would nick it or key it. So it has inherent security.

No, two tulip cars I wouldn't be seen dead in.

But in the interests of educating you, the old A-Class was a death trap, as it 'submarined', due to it's dual level floor, so I'd rather you drove one, than me. But you'd probably still choose an Audi over the Sorento

Keep up son.
