I've been quite lucky really. Probably my 1st 6 bought it for £1850. Spent about £1000 on it and sold it 18 months later for £1800 so just lost the money I spent in it. Haven't really kept a car for longer than 6 months since and usually make money when I sell them. ________________________________________ Cherry Red 306 HDIChampionship White Integra DC5 Type R |

I paid £13,500 for my Alfa and sold it 5 years later for £6000; not bad really.The wife’s first cooper s was the best car to date for depreciation; paid £8500 and sold 5 years later for £4500. I’m hoping my S6 has done most of its depreciating as someone paid around £65k for it when new with the options on it. |

i would have to say the gti6 as i was pretty anal with it and spent tons on it and put so much time on it. can think of at least 5 k i spent on it in actual pounds plus the initial lay out of 4800 i think i paid for.the scoob has got to be a close 2nd in 2years of ownership i paid 17500 for it and sold it for 10k 2 years later. i have had a couple of vans that have smacked my asse in the past but i never seem to really tot that up as they are work horses. my last transit i paid 10250 for did 200k in it in 3 years of ownership spent in the region of 3 k on various repairs over the 3 year period and sold it for a grand when it blew up. so i guess it would probably be a van ________________________________________ puglessPhase 1 GTI 6 1996-1997 Subaru Impreza GB270 2007-2008 rare spiderman comics same day international courier |

My current drive has been the biggest lost to my pocket for the past 6 years. Purchased the rallye for £3800 and have spent £6050 to date in 6 years without even considering road tax, insurance and fuel! I will never see my money but I'm stuck in a love/hate relationship with my car and haven't got the balls to say no to it. I genuinely live for the 306 ________________________________________ 306 RALLYE |
