If you'd never sold a car......financially= up, or down?

Your forgetting inflation

[Ray Luxury-Yacht]

Christ, well, I seem to buy sad old weapons, expensive bikes and ridiculously pricey to maintain cars.

They're all stupid leftfield choices mainly that I love dearly but no-one else seems to. Hence, they've all depreciated like a falling stone, whilst in the meantime I've chucked thousands at them improving them, fettling them and generally wasting loads of cash.

I would think that if I added it all up, first I'd have a hernia, and second the money I've lost probably would have bought me a nice flat or house outright!


But - it's CARS Man, innit??!!

I'm sure you all understand

Fair point, but 500 quid from 12/15 years ago isn't worth 500 quid today, more likely £300.

I know the figures are not exactly true, but they are an overly simplified version because I'm finding it really difficult to explain myself.

I'd probably break even or maybe be better off.

I had a LOT of Mk1 / 2 Escorts that I paid £2k or less for that would be worth £8K + today

Plus a 3dr Cosworth that I bought for £3500 when no one could insure them

My Griffith 500 I sold almost 10 yrs ago for £13,500 and they still cost that now.
