10 Cars in, whats the costings?


So here we are, 10 cars in and 28 years old.

After some feedback on the blog, i thought I'd try and put together a costings post i.e. what i paid what i sold for (if i can remember, but I'll try if not they'll be approx.)

A lot of my car sales are private sales because believe i can sell ice to the eskimos me and i just love the whole idea of selling cars to be honest :)

I must add that not a single one of these cars have ever been purchased with finance, contrary to popular belief..
