1st car - peugeot 205 xs. bought for £1000. sold to scrappy for £50. =£950
2nd car- peugeot 205 1.9 gti. Bought for £2000. Sold for £400. =£1600
3rd car- Fiat punto GT turbo. Bought for £5500. Sold for £1800= £3700
4th car- Current** 206 GTI. Bought for £8000. Probably worth £5000=£3000

So in total ive lost £9250 in the last 8 years..........

Not too bad. ....equates to a £1156 a year

 

oh alright, seeing as its mainly a case of cut & paste!

'92 Mini Cooper ...paid £5K ...sold for £4200
'93 Integralé EVO ...paid £15K ...was nicked & got 13500 from ins
'95 GT-Four ...paid £18K ...sold for £9K
'94 GT-Four WRC ...paid, cant say as its for sale!

so about £13K over roughly 10 years ...not as bad as some to come me thinks!

 

I would hate to sit down and work out the answer to this one! Had 8 cars in 8 years of driving. Skinted by cars!

Had fun driving them though

 

Scooby in £11000 out £7300 - loss £3800
Saxo in £10500 out £7700 - loss £2800
Pug 406 1 £2100 blew up and nothing made back on parts yet so - loss £2100

So as it stands I've lost £8700 in 5 years so, £1740 per year

Edited cause I missed a zero

 

1st car - 205 1.9 GTi - bought 650 sold 1400 = 750
2nd car - 205 1.6 GTi - bought 1400 sold 1100 = -300
3rd car - 205 1.9 GTi turbo technics - bought 1000 (spent 1250 on), sold 2750 = 550

so overall +1000 over 4 years, however ive spent a fair bit on them (replacement parts etc), so probably broken even/made a slight loss.

Amazing how many people ignore depreciaton, and will pay loads extra for something that does more MPG even if they dont do much mileage.
