I prefer making money, first gti6 bought for £1300, wrote off and got £1800, bought it back from insurance for £92 and made £600 breaking it, £1000 better off! I've been much more careful with the current 6, this one will be a loss as i've maintained it regardless........did i mention i'm selling it  for £850  ________________________________________ VW Golf GT TDI 115, 100k nooooooooooooooooooooo! |

306 Rallye I bought last year. Can't even remember how much I paid for it but three days after it dropped a valve and I sold it the following week for peanuts. That was a fun week  ________________________________________ 340 horses |

Bought a 6, charged it, sold it a year after charging it, lost ALOT! GTi6 at 2 and a bit, charging it at 4 and a bit and buying the exhaust not long before I sold it puts me at around £7K all I had to show for it was a Bianca Rallye and a little over £2600. Now all I have to show for it is a Bianca Rallye A LOT of tattoo’s a slightly bigger beer belly and an engagement ring ________________________________________ |

and the moral of the story is never buy a car less than 5 years old unless you like throwing money away. |

Lost around 4k on a C2 GT that i bought as an ex demo. Was stupid to buy it but was young and had money to spend!Potentialy would loose more on the 306 if i sold it, spent over 13k i reckon now, wouldnt expect anywhere near this back for it, even buy breaking it. ________________________________________ 2.1 16v 306 Rallye. |
