That's not the point. If he wants to sell it, saying "ooh, it'll be a hundred quid more than you bid" isn't the right way to go about it.

Not really any different from not giving carriage costs, etc.
*ding*.
If he needs the money (and believe me, I've been there) then putting the car on SORN and getting the money back from the DVLA is the way to go. This is not a vehicle that is worth so little that the tax would a substantial part of its value - if it was a 200 quid car I wouldn't have a problem with that - and the extra semi-hidden cost sends out the "I'll charge you extra for inflated tyres as well" message.
Indeedy. I always worry about people charging extra for the tax. If they're tight with a legal requirement, what are they going to be like when it comes to servicing? "Well, the garage said it needed brakes but I had to tax it, so I figured that the brakes could wait"..
