SupraD06 Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 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 ???????

Muffleman Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Car was £23k, spent just over £10k. No idea what I'd get for it, was offered £26k twice for it over a year ago but wasn't selling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 so what you done to the escort then ? 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.

Chiefgroover Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Mine stands me about £33K now, 1993 jap single, probably worth very little TBH. Despite me being very careful to do the car to the highest standard, most folks prefer to buy a fairly stock car and do bits as time goes by, and when its complete- sell it lol. Dont think I'll ever sell it, break it maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian R Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 I've spent far too much and the Supe has cost me more than just financial implications as well lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muffleman Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
