I must be winning with 42!

You have done well for a wee laddie, god forbid when you get to 40 like me. :wink:

My wife is also like me with cars so she has had 18 since I met her 13 years ago and that is her calmed down as her last 3 have been company cars which she gets for 2 years each.

So we are in the 40's as well  

Good for the change but bad on the depreciation  

Might start a thread - How much have you lost in depreciation in …. years ?

Cheers chris

Thats just mean! I wouldnt want to think about it! When you consider maintance, tax and insurance!

I will do a topic on how much have you lost when I get home from turkey tomorrow and try to work it out but I remember having a rough count a few years ago and just on depreciatio, buying to selling price, I think just my cars were £70k    :dontknow:  

Could have paid off my mortgage  

Who cares might get hit by a bu……………………….!

I have spent a total of 25k on cars. I got back 14k on the sale of them meaning I have lost 11k. This does not include servicing, spare parts, insurance changes and of course road tax! oh s**t

That's good going!!

Lost £8kish in 6 months on a Nissan and to the other extreme had a Mini cooper s for 6 mnths and lost a few hundred when they first came out in 2002.
