In my 40 yrs of car ownership I have owned and driven: *(x) yrs owned;
[xxx,yyy] xxx = purchase price, yyy = selling price
1. 65 Plymouth Fury III (1) Junk [$700,0]
2. 73 Merc Capri (2) a little better than Junk [2600,2000]
3. 76 Pontiac Firebird (2) Junk [5000,5000]
4. 79 Pontiac grand prix (14) Junk [9000,1300]
5. 90 Acura Integra (17+) Best by far and still going strong [12,000,n/a]
Total cost net of trade ins: $21,000
Estimated total cost of repairs (over 40 yrs) $2,500
Needless to say I do almost all work myself
All cars were driven approx 12k/yr
I once counted the cars I owned about 15 years ago. It totalled 76 at
that time. I can't remember all the cars now. I am guessing over 100.
I would buy a used car and then someone would want to buy it from me.
They would give me a decent profit, so I'd sell and find another one.
I am not a dealer.
