Hi all,

 

I just wondering if we can register a passenger van ( Merc Vito or the Renault) as a S-plate vehicle to ferry 10 of our family in comfort.. priority is towards safety for the family and comfort..

 

I asked C&C and they have the Vianos (8 seater), but too ex ($195K), but the salesman say can register the diesel version as S-plate and no need pay diesel levy ($6-9k), but the road tax at $4k a yr [knife]

 

Any bros or sis have this same dilemma? Whats your best choice vehicle as a big family carry all?

 

Thanks for reading and your kind response.. ^_^

lol.

 

road tax of 4k IS already the diesel tax.

 

only the G-plate and C-plate no need pay diesel tax

can consider those pre-owned used vehicles. they might come at a cheaper price at a lower depreciation for u. if possible try not to get disel vehicles, as they might be a burden in the long run considering the maintainance, etc.

Thanks for the feedback.. ^_^

 

It's kinda hard to get a decently large vehicle to ferry a big family nowadays..

 

Seems to me like the govt people limit families to max 7-8 seater mpvs.. anyting bigger is classified as P or G plate commercial vehicles liao..

 

talk about having more kids; dunno if the MCYS n LTA in sync over the govt kuku programs.. [knife]

Commerical plate cannot drive over without a valid license.

 

i think he's talking about S plate.. which is private car registration.

Ya, my fren has this car.. Merc engine inside this monster.. this seems the most plausible choice for me now.. :ph34r:

 

Purpose is to ferry my extended family, not to go fast... so no need F&F with this big van la..

 

Ya, thanks for alerting me to the driving licence req... maybe tats why no big vans on the road for big families.. [bigcry]

Vianos (8 Seater) might as well get Big MPVs (Estima,etc) ....

 

Actually, u should really ask yourself if u really need a passenger Van to ferry 10 of your family all the time.....

 

-Within your family, is there any one else whom can also drive?

 

-Perhaps get a normal plate car and an OPC?

 

Just my opinion...

Yup. Getting 2 cars might be cheaper. My family doing that right now. Can save alot more. Total cost for both cars less than 70k and both not OPC.

Estima is 7 seater, while Vianos is 8. Both i seen n sat in before liao.. Cost wise of course estima cheaper la, but priority is ferry altogether first ma..

Yes, bec some of us are not so mobile

No, that's why no other car, and 2 cars double the costs (2nd cheaper car or 2nd driver not an option..

 

But Thanks to all for your kind input.. ^_^
