Durty!!

I can't understand anyone paying big bucks for a taxi. Like Panel I paid 9k for a wheeliebin 4 years ago. 30k on it then. 120k on it now. Good for another 7 years. It's my work van. Nothing else.

The yearly vehicle cost of my wanked out French panel van is €875.76, I’ll get 9.5 years out of it.

The only way you’d buy a expensive motor for taxi use is if you’ve a big tax bill ya need to write off against it.

It just passed it’s 3rd nct on Tuesday albeit failing 1st on a offside rear brake bulb.

Best of luck with the new motor Ken, I think your mad not to go hybrid but hey ho.

Each to their own, but I’d hate to spend 30-80 hours a week in a breadvan, I’d much prefer to spend an extra €5-€10 a day for a bit of comfort

80 hours? A week?

30 frightens me!

I'd consider buying a breadvan too if I had to.The 15 year WAT rule is a major attraction but I'd want to know that it was overall cheaper than me buying another Prius when running costs and maintenance is factored in.

They exist, a taxi driver that was murdered in Cork a few years ago was known for working 15 hour shifts, everyday!!

I actually pay €130pm for a car. The bread van is my work van and no skanks travel in my own car.

30 frightens me!

To put it in context my December 2012 wanked out French panel van will still be on the road until December 2027 and ken will have already replaced his new car that he’s getting.

You’d have a pain in your flute sitting in a brand new merc for 80 hours a week.

As I said, each to their own.
