Does my rover 75 bought for £125 count?

Needed a clutch though!

A thread I can really afford.

[V8mate]

This'll never make four figures...

[Usget]

Checking in!

Yep - the thread where aspirations come to die.

[GC8]

Perhaps not, but its first service will do well to keep short of five figures!

Come and spend a day in this town. Aspirations aren't even born here.

20V Turbo with a new MOT. Could well last long enough to make a hire car look expensive*.




*Probably. Maybe.

Theres already a very long thread "show us your snotter" - although I agree that we could start one in the vein of the 1-5k and 5-20k threads.

Heres my own past experiences:

650GBP W140 S280. Ran it for 16,000 miles, sold for more than 2x what I paid \

Yep - that's for stuff people have bought rather than just perusing the classifieds though?

Oooh a new distraction...

Here is a current example of a rather spiffy 800 quid S60 2.4T on the Volvo boards:

I had one of these, and I really rather loved it if I'm being honest. 155k, absolutely every single thing on it worked exactly as intended, nothing rattled or creaked, and for sinking into after a long day, it was unbeatable. Best seats of any car I've experienced.

Sold it only because 26 mpg and an increase in annual mileage towards 30k weren't compatible. That was 3 yrs ago, and I only got £1600 for it then. Still miss it.
