Whilst I knew before I bought the Macan S that I would get whacked by government taces I have to admit that I didn’t investigate just how much. My wife now wants a an SLC and now I am trying to work out how much that tax might be. Below is sone stuff I downloaded which seems to suggest that (e.g. the Macan) I get whacked for it being over £40k and also because the CO2 is. . . what is the CO2

The post 2017 Porsches will be the ones everyone wants in a few years when their road tax is £140. There is a world of great cars that are now worthless simply because once the buyer sees £550 or what ever the tax is these days its a deal breaker so walks away.

A Macan Turbo registered before April 2017 will cost you £325 a year to tax (as mine does).
Anybody buying a new S will pay £1280 1st year and £465 fo another 5 years after that (as the car's list price is over £40,000). When the car is 7 years old, you will then pay £145 per year.
Likewise, anybody buying a used Macan S registered on or after 1st April 2017 will have to pay £465 a year until the car is 7 years old.
So, those buying new or nearly new will certainly take a hit.
For those on a tighter budget, it will be best to buy approved used at say 3 to 4 years old so you get 2 years warranty and pay the higher car tax for only 3 years or so.

I’m not being disrespectful but you don’t buy a Porsche for economy, Road tax is what it is, it wouldn’t stop me buying the car of my choice, people will buy a Porsche regardless

Totally agree Spud I bought my Porsche in May 2017 post the new tax banding. So I pay £465 p.a. which is well less than 1% of the cost of the car.

Whilst I agree to a large extent, there is a marginal effect whereby marginal buyers are turned away. Others decide to retain current cars rather than buy facelift. That affects demand and the market turns with knock-on effects through used prices and resale values.
For instance, there is a discussion on one of the UK BMW Forums, how many who bought 340is on PCCP with large discounts 3 or 4 years ago pre 2017, are being pushed by the £40000 limit towards GOLF GTIs and equivalent or retaining there current cars
