Bangernomics is great. Bought my fiesta with 10months mot. Fully stamped service book upto 3k before I bought it, still really shiny and tidy for £150 no rust aswell. Tho could do with a quick waxoyl tho. Since iv started bangernomics iv always made money on cars. 1st fiesta was £142 I put 12months mot on it. Drove it for 8 months and sold it for £250 as my mate wanted it. Doubled my money on the x90. Sold a £50 ka for £450 only cause the buyer thought my £300 asking price was to low so I serviced it for him. Also means I have more money to spend on the morris which is an investment instead of paying £300 a month on finance on a car I wouldn't like. I still over service my vehicles. Oil change every 6k and that. Mainly cause it only cost £15 on the fiesta.
Anybody else run a cars the bangernomics way?[frame]
I have a £400 Cavalier as my daily drive and have seldom been happier with a set of wheels. Although she's 21 she's still doing good work and proving the environmental catastrophe of the scrappage scheme wrong. I can't even begin to tell you how much it makes you smile when overtaken by a vehicle which haemorrhages more in depreciation each month. And best of all it is easy to work on. Some of the best financial sense out there. Fly the flag for the old-timers I say.
