Knowing what I know now I would probably try to avoid it in future but that's hindsight for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and in the scheme of things so did I, just used it as an opportunity to balance my thinking re unnecessary spend elsewhere - as you say not exactly a life changing amount in the scheme of things.

You set 'em up and somebody will be along shortly to knock 'em down! just imagining the carnage on Pistonheads with that sort of comment - CMOOSE would have been all over that until the end of days.... seems he's either been kicked from PH or left of his own accord as most posts he was involved in just ended up in arguments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incidentally while we're talking about VED what do they charge you in Portugal? Here in Almeria you pay it to the local town hall. The top rate is about 140 euros a year. Probably explains in part why the girl that works on the checkpout at Lidl comes to work in a 6.3 litra AMG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menoporsche Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 Ha! Or she has a dodgy Russian boyfriend, sorry uncle... I can't answer that as I'm under a special tax regime. But for a general answer, if you read Spanish you can read Portuguese: https://impostosobreveiculos.info/isv/imposto-sobre-veiculos-isv-2019/ So we have ISV, the big lump payment first time a car is registered in Portugal, and IUC, the annual charge. you can simulate your IUC here: https://impostosobreveiculos.info/iuc/simulador-iuc/ Probably you know all the answers except CO2 emissions, have that ready for your car and you'll be OK. Just done mine and it tells me I should pay €800 a year...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninesomething Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 Yikes. And yikes. That's worse than Holland. And the checkout girl probably does have something going on. Price of cars hereabouts is ridiculous. If you can find a basic well used 986 and it's not easy you're going to be looking at around 20,000 euros.

All the cars I've seen with PSE have a button with a little tailpipe thingy printed on. Does your car have sports chrono? So if you order PSE but no sports chrono you get a tailpipe button but if you have sports chrono the sport button activates the PSE if you ordered it? Then I've seen cars with sports chrono and the tp button. I'm confused about this and many other thing which aren't necessarily Porsche related. I have a 2011 gen 2 and it has pse and sport chrono and a sport, sport plus and exhaust button all present and do what you'd expect them to do.

Ninesomething Posted November 26, 2020 Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 That's what I'd expect. Exhaust activated by the sport button is a new one on me. Maybe that's earlier cars/gen 1s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
