Taxi Driver Online

I passed my luton hackney carriage-private hire taxi test few weeks ago and i have been working private hire there renting a car, The work imo is good there better than mk i make good enough money there.
My main reason to pass in luton was to drive hackney carriage there ive been talking to the guys on the rank there about buying and ive been offered a 2008 peugeot e7 Xs with plate for 35k, so wondering if theres any one on here who has knowledge on the luton trade and knows whats the going rate for a hackney taxi there?

Been in the trade a few weeks and now wants to spend £35,000 on something that could be worthless in months.

or worth more!! seeing as most councils that do restrict wont be deregulating any time soon, unless the LC has another change of mind..

Everything is a bit of a gamble is it not,been hearing the same deregulation thing since i bought 25 years ago.Guess what,they might dereg tommorow...... Then again they might not

so just toss a coin and call it then

That toss of the coin has certainly paid of for me

Its kept you off the dole but has it bought you a yacht, ferrari and a villa near Marbella?

(or even a state of the art Lti taxi?)


and his is £35,000 though..........

Sorry Sussex, I wouldn't work in Luton even if you bought the cab for me and have it to me rent free mate!!

Make sure if you get a job into London from the airport, you then drive around with your for hire sign illuminated like all most other Luton drivers seem to do, dreaming of being a London taxi driver.

Is having amnesia (and the ability to make up the extras) a requirement of being licensed to work in Luton?

I never aspired to own a yacht,ferrari or a villa in Marbella to chavy for me,maybe more suited to you.But it has brought up two kids and paid for house.As for a 'state of the art LTI taxi' you know very little if you think a tx4 is state of the art

no but hes got no choice in the matter, the cars included......but he gets a few luxuries

how much did you invest in a plate?

I invested a lot less than it has returned or than i could sell for tommorow
