Am looking to buy a t4 sometime in the future so want to check out my costs to run it b4 I buy.

I have seen a VW transporter 1.9TD 2001 X reg for sale & this seems to be a common size engine on some of the vans Ive seen for sale.

Can anyone tell me what tax it'd be?

Also insurance . . . Am 34, have 5 year no claims, no points on my license either, van would have to be insured fully comp.

What sort of price can I expect? (will put post in insurance section also)

Road tax is I believe around £200 and the insuarnce you should get for about the same amount if you dig around.

£400 / year tax & ins !!!

Thats a lot for tax, the insurance isnt too bad though.

!m used to running a tax free a/c vw & a 1.2 '91 polo so thats a bit of a shock.

Knew itd be more ££ but not that much.

the tax isnt so bad when you think how much a room even in a cheap hotel per night is....T:

cheap grot hotel = formula 1 say =25 per night, so 4 weekends away = free tax!A:

Tax on a 2.5 T5 Caravelle is just over £200 and insurance is under £350 but that is because age is on my side.

Im paying £70 / 6 months on the polo so £200 for the van on 12 months isnt too bad probably.
