Re: Brought a car then sold the car - How much have you lost?
Peugeot 306, bought for £3k, spent 5k on lots of mods and repairs, written off for £2500, 3 years later..... Minus 5.5k
Corsa GSi, Bought for 2.3k, spend about 1k mods/repairs, sold for £1700 6 months later - minus 1.5k
Peugeot 306 Cabriolet, bought for 8k, kept it standard, written off 3 years later after 30,000 miles trouble free motoring for £5300 - minus 2.7k
So I've "lost" 5.5+1.5+2.7 = £9,700 in around 8 years.
But all of it is not lost, as a lot is depreceation, and you've got to get about too! but i learnt after the Corsa not to mod any more, as that causes more expenditure for which you are unlikely to see any return.
And now theres the 172, bought for 6k, not planning on selling it yet!
Oh and neither of the write-offs were my fault!!!

Re: Brought a car then sold the car - How much have you lost?
Normally make money on my cars.
106 gti bought it for £2400 did 30k in 2 years sold it for 3k
106 rallye bought for £1260 sold for £2k
106 rallye s2 bought for £2k sold for £3500
306 gti6 bought for £200 sold for £2250
I have generally been lucky and bought cars which need a slight tidy up and make them mint so get top money

Re: Brought a car then sold the car - How much have you lost?
All my cars were cheapo pieces of crap until i bought the mini
Paid £16,300 for it in 2002 - sold it 2 years/25K later for £13,500 well happy with that
Bought a house and my Golf GT TDi for £8,500 and will probably get around £3,000 trade in for it next year

Re: Brought a car then sold the car - How much have you lost?
Brought a Mini Cooper S works in Jan last year, £12,5000, got banned in Feb for 9 months, was partly on finance so advsrtised it, with it being just after xmas, wouldnt sell for s**t, ended up selling it back to a dealer for £8700, thats a £3,800 loss in 1 month :dapprove:
Although i had a corsa that i spent £3k on and sold for £2k, i then had a Lupo Gti that i paid £6500 for 3 years ago that i traded in for th Mini for £5k.
I then got a brabus roadster after the 9month ban, paid £9K, sold after 2months as got bored of it, sold for £8700.
Brought MG ZR untill i found a decent 182, paid £3900, traded in after 6 months for the clio last week £2700. Paid £7k for the 182 with 10,000 miles....

Re: Brought a car then sold the car - How much have you lost?
Truely would hate to add it all up, last 3 cars though.
Seat Leon Cupra R, bought new for £16,750 sold 12 months 14,000 miles £16,500
Mercedes ML 270CDI, paid £42,000, sold 12 months 12,000 miles £27,000
BMW E60 530D, Paid £29,000 sold 25 months 4,000 miles £16,250
Had the 182 12 months and not planning a sale yet, would sell the Zafira tough as it's the worst most unreliable car I've ever had but it's probably worthless now and stands me at £16,000

Think of it another way. You buy a car for £12,000. You keep it for 3 years and sell it for £8,000. The car has cost you £4,000! £4k for a £12k car? Bargain.
Dont have much to show when you get back other than a tan for a week though :rasp:
