driving 13yrs
Had 18 cars to date IIRC - just counted up thats just shy of 100k purchase price 
4 or them have fairly massive budgets ontop of purchase.
Corsa(s) - say 25k over the years and 3 cars
GTR - 30k
Impreza (white one) - 10k+
Supra (silver one)- 15k
holyshit.
180k - I think i'm goign to go cry
Current 'assets' I'd guess about 60k in 4 cars :S
EDIT - but but but of course some of them were sold!!!
just had a quick count up of what has 'come in' from selling/trading in old cars.
52k...
That makes it a bit better

10 years 5 cars and around £65,000-70,000. Spent quite a bit on two of those cars as of the other three: one was bought for 2.5k, one for 6k and the other 5k.
Haven't spent a penny I think on "modding" but whenever they've needed something fixing/replacing I've always bought the best. I'd probably sell the current car for £10,000.

Driving 6 years and had 23 cars, most I've had at one point is 4 cars and a van, most expensive car was 10k, possibly about £60-70k on cars, but everytime I've sold a car I've made money on it (bar about 5) and bought something else cheap etc etc. Current cars worth about £1600.

Just over 9 years.19 cars.
Cant work out how much they have all cost etc as ive swapped a few of them.
Deffo in profit though.Dont tend to spend much on cars unless ive got the car cheap and know itl make more than ive paid for it.And if i change wheels etc i sell the old set to cover most of the costs,if not them all/profit.
Few that have made me the most outright profit are....
Tigra....paid 300,sold for 950.
Mk3 Astra Gsi....paid 1k,spent 800 max on mods and the C25XE conversion,sold for 2.5k.
BMW 328i sport....paid 2.5k,swapped for Pulsar,sold Pulsar for 3.5k.
Corsa 12v....paid 400,swapped for current Mk4 Astra which will see me at least 1k back but ideally would ask for more.
Car ive lost the most on would be the 1st Corsa.Paid 750 for the car,spent about 1.1k on mods including the XE conversion,Mo's etc and sold for 1.3k
Is it actually possible do do your own XE Corsa conversion,wether it be yourself doing it or paying some1,building it properly with brakes etc,and make a profit or even break even??
