hi all, just been thinking about how much we all spend on our cars and how much of it we will actualy get back... so i was wondering what you have all spent on yours and then how much you think its worth now,

 

i payed 7k for mine then spent another 8k on it ( excluding TAX MOT and INSURENCE )and ive been told id get around the 10k mark now

 

i guess some of you have spent alot more on styling parts or big power tuning but do you get some of it back ???????

I've spent a lot more than it's worth, that's all I need to know, specifics will annoy me.

is it just the supra bug that everyone gets???? because you know your spending more than you will get back but it fells good to spend money on it lol

I don't think it's car specific, more of an owner thing - I don't know about everyone else but I find myself "modifying" anything that I can, I used to do it with bikes, skateboards, models cars and then continued with all my real cars :)

yup same here ive modded every car ive had, i had a pug 306 as my first car and although it was a bag of nails i still spent 4k on it then did the same with my celica, i think everyone hates to be the same and so they try and make theres different

So far I've only changed the stereo, "detailed" it and swapped the steering wheel for one off a better model but I have a hankering to do all kinds of things - I'm resisting at the moment though because it would be more sensible to just buy a better Escort first.

Brought mine for £12k & most probally spent that X 4 since having it so must be worth now in the region of £60k +++ now :D:d:d

I know that you will never get that back that's why i will never ever sell it :eyebrows:

 

thats what im going to do ill run it into the ground until it blows up and then you just rebuild it, you would only spend the money on having new cars that will lose money day 1 anyway so why not have some fun with it

I'm sure I'm not the only one that can't help himself ;) I have spent more on the Trial car than I expected, but at least it's something different. Got pics of it somewhere at the Tokyo Auto Salon, was magazine featured in Japan etc etc.

 

Sure I'll lose money when I sell, but if I bought a new £23k Mondeo it would be worth £7k come the first MOT.

 

It's not a supercar, but I love it, it goes like stink and turns heads everywhere :)
