The tax can be all over the place for the C7, pre-facelift has higher emissions - so you won't like the tax, post-facelift pre-2017 is probably the sweet spot (you probably still won't like the tax) and post 2017 is an extra £325 per year until it turns 5, so again you won't like the tax

I've also heard that white ones can rust more

But that aside, my views are if you really need to scratch the itch then buy one, and when we are allowed, drive the thing

done my tax disc research

2015 on is £330 = ok

later into 2017 is the dredded £475 for an extra 5 years

i want a 2015 one with 20 inch wheels in Red so it wont show the rust as much LOL

just gotta find the right car with low miles

Depending on how long you plan on keeping it, a 2017 will be 5 years old next year, so then tax is only £10 a month vs £25 😉

I know a rather large chap how had an rs6 ,not sure which version (guessing about 5 years ago ) he bought it new and only kept it about 6 mths as the sides of the seat was constantly cutting into him( he loved the car but wasn't driving it because of the seat issue ) ,he traded it in against a new range rover which then spent as much time in the dealer as it did with him ,
