Evening all.
I've done a bad thing.
After doing plenty of market research and looking into all things bongo. Then discovering the wonders that are the mitsubishi delica. I have gone and found another beauty. But this 1 I've gone on to buy. Tomorrow I will be picking up an 04 nissan elgrand 3.5l petrol.
I just wanted to thank everyone on this bongo forum for your assistance and guidance in the past few weeks. I will always wave to any and all bongo, delica, alphard or elgrand that I drive past.
Keep on bongoing and I'll catch up with you all soon

They're a very nice motor, and always welcome at a Club Meet. 8)

Will it run on e10 or e5 petrol. What's the road fund licence. 🤔

Wouldn't shock me if they're in the £600 class, I've just scrapped a 2003 Lexus is200 2l which has never broke down, had a peach of a motor in it and hasn't cost me a penny in the last 20k miles but road tax was over 400 quid which is just less than half of what I paid for it four years back.

I've tried to fathom out the DVLA website on this RT malarky and can't make any sense of it, even the same model cars can have different costs as I found out when looking for a SAAB, the world has definitely gone nuts.

Vehicle Excise Duty is a right mish-mash.

Same cost for my little MX5. :mrgreen:
