Well, thank you for reading.
Here in the UK we pay a road tax called VED.

A newer car will be subject to the following.

1. £455 per year VED instead of £155
2. Inflated prices due to Covid and supply and demand - most of what I am looking at is between £7 and £10,000 over book - i.e. its trade value.

However:

1. I will not really be able to afford genuine servicing as the car is on 50k miles and I will have to pay out for those in time. I suspect it will be £500 for a non dealer service plus £650 for a set of run flats.

This would equate to expenditure of £1150.00 for the next 12 months to allow the correction of the market perhaps, rather than spending £30,000 to change into an X5 and being the wrong side of it value wise when Covid sales pick up and there is more supply.

I'd like an X5 G series but not for £55,000 used and in the UK if you finance you pay 10.Something % interest !!!!!!!

Not wishing to over post I may just post a specific thread to see if anyone has actually changed out their run flats without ruining the air suspension and go from there. I could then run it for another 12 months.
