I think be oldest examples will be approaching that kind of money soon. Although for obvious reasons I hope they (saloon or wagon) don’t come down too quicklyYeah, very true & the wagons are slowly coming down in price - they need to be nearer the £30k mark & I’m sure next year they’ll be within budget
Collected my (new to me) E63 S estate 2 weeks ago ... not managed to drive it a great deal as yet but saw a 22mpg figure commuting to work on Friday. Then went to meet some friends in York saturday and ended up sat in traffic for ages ... my 20+ mpg turned into 13mpg by the time I'd parked up. But hey, I knew it would be a thirsty beast. 
Hopefully I'll squeeze 20mpg-ish ave going forward.

High mpg is possible when required, I’ve seen mine do 33mpg on a run from the U.K. to Le Mans.Collected my (new to me) E63 S estate 2 weeks ago ... not managed to drive it a great deal as yet but saw a 22mpg figure commuting to work on Friday.

Equally, I’ve seen single figures when on a (rare) trip to the office…..

If the car has been mapped, might effect the mileage including any lower tyre pressure

- W212 6.2l.e63, E93 M3, prev w212 e63s, w211 e63, s205 C63s, GLA45,.E46M3, E64645c1, 330ci etc
Glad you didn't ask about the 6.2l w212, combined is around 17.8mpg for me which includes a fair bit of motorway travel
My w212 S amg was combined around 22.5mpg over 25k miles driven combined

I might add, that that figure was only achievable because of long uninterrupted sections of French toll route - 80mph/130km/h continuous. Don’t think it dropped into 4-cylinder mode either m, but could be wrong.
What’s the 911 going from, and to?Ok, so I’ve misunderstood, wouldn’t be the first time..
£1650 would be the first VED for 12 months then it stays at £190 per year..??
That’s good news considering I’m after a 2017 W213 E63.
It’s only my 911 that’s going up
I think all VED goes up a few % occasionally to reflect inflation etc but I haven’t seen any significant changes?

Assuming I'm understanding it correctly (hopefully I'm not) it's rising from £415.00 to £735.00 per year - this is based on it's g/km being in the highest bracket of over 255g/km - that's two cars I'll own in the highest bracket

Don't think so....AFAIK apart from first year prices, 2025 prices have not been anounced yet.... just that it will be an inflation based increase.

Nope - have a look at the link you postedAssuming I'm understanding it correctly (hopefully I'm not) it's rising from £415.00 to £735.00 per year - this is based on it's g/km being in the highest bracket of over 255g/km - that's two cars I'll own in the highest bracket
Your 911 should be in band ‘K’ as it was registered before March 2006.

This explains it quite well

New rules and rates for vehicle duty are coming in – including for EVs

There’s very little changing for existing car owners IMHO - only thing worthy of note is post 2017 EVs will be paying £190 a year instead of FOC as they are currently (pre-2017 EVs will be £20
)A lot of scaremongering and misinformation about this it seems.
