I think I paid �22k for my car about ten years ago.

You’d normally expect a car to be worth about 20% of what you paid for it after ten years so losing approx �1800 a year to depreciation.

If I’d kept my car boggo standard (which it perhaps is not :wink: ) then it (optimistically) would be worth about �32k today so appreciating at about �1000 a year.

By my maths this means that I can spend nigh on �3k pa on mods and that’s like errrr actually costing me nothing,…its like kinda free!

Genius,…now where’s JSR’s number I’ve got some free money to spend :sunglasses:

That’s �3k to spend getting it further away from stock not closer :smiley:

my usual justification is - well modding cars keeps me keen on the one I’ve got otherwise I’d be hopping from M3 to RS loosing loads each time

Looking at the prices of cars via the for sale link on our new French friends’ website, you’re due even more cash to spend, Ben.
