Mk 4 Astra ‘05 plate, bought at 54k for £3k from garage my family used in 2010, put 80k miles on and sold for £500 in 2020. Money was spent on it, but definitely not much. And I did the timing belt on it myself which may well be my proudest spannering moment.
Bought e46 320d touring at 76k miles for £2600, so far spent £200 on summer tyres, about £300 on winter wheels/tyres, £70 on a thermostat, £70 on a spring replacement, £40 on an abs sensor, and a cheeky £700 on DMF and clutch. And a couple of oil and filter changes.
Hopefully it resists any more expensive mishaps in the near future. Love it, but realising I’ve spent £1500 on it in a year and a half does put things in perspective.
