George Osbourne gets into gear for the budget today. Then creeps back into his box afterwards with his favourite boarding school companion.
I was unfortunate enough to catch a small portion of the coverage. It's becoming pretty draining to see abject failures being lauded due to their ability to make a dead cat bounce.
I'm a single mum with two children a large teenager and smaller child with a large car seat for the next 5 years, I work full time and use my currant car a VW bora 1.9tdi 04 plate daily. I love this car it was a upgrade model the inside is quality and solid, Its never needed spending on other than a service each year and new tyres but there isn't enough space in the back now days and would like something a little higher. Im very confused as to what to get my budget is around £5000-£6000 I have looked at so many and im just lost It needs to do the same if not more MPG than my car now and must not be over £150/£160 a year road tax. Want a reliable safe and solid car as i cant afford to replace for at least 6 years once brought. My options i have looked at so far are.

Becky - if you're happy with your Bora, the 1.9 diesel is a good engine so I'd suggest you find something bigger with the same engine. The Skoda Octavia had that engine in the price range you're looking at (avoid pre-2009 2-litre diesels), and you can have it as a very roomy hatchback as well as an estate (although personally I think the estate looks better).
There's also the bigger Skoda Superb and the VW Touran with that same 1,9 TDI engine. The Audi A3 is no good to you as it has less room than the Bora. You could have an A4 Avant whuch doesn't look too much like a esate, but you pay more for the Audi badge....
Although I try to keep up on most things the RPI is not something that I know enough about to instantly decide whether this will be good for Me / the motorist.
I do know that there have sometimes been large increases in the RPI when comparing 2 or 3 Years averages - it is calculated and published Monthly - I think from the Office for National Statistics [name may be wrong ?].... Read more
Do I have to pay ved on my 1973 Buick? I've just received the reminder asking for £225. I've read after the budget the free ved has been increased to 1974. I've tried ringing Dvla
(Joke) and my local post office is clueless. Your advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks for the replies. In my excitement of buying the car I've put 2004 when it's actually a 2005 (registered May 2005) so it's just under 9 years old. I keep getting mixed up as it's the last of the older shape models as they were changed as you'll all know that year. Anyway I've spoken with the garage I use and this service it's due is a major one so I'll get that done as it's £195. The garage comfirmed it's 100,000 or every 10 years for the cam belt etc so I'll see when I take it in for the service what he thinks I should do.
