Had lots of little jobs to do this week.



Jobs I had to pay for.

New front subframe £2000, full valet and bodywork polish £80, DAB
radio fitting £175.

You spent over £2k on a car that's worth £1500 - if you are lucky?

You are a special kind of stupid.....


My car cost £24000 new, I got it for £13000 and it is worth £5000
today. Binning a car that cost £24000 for the sake of a £2000 part IS
really stupid.

Once done it will last me another 10 years easy.



But they only sell for £2.5k-£3.5k retail.


Most people haven't a clue what their car will actually fetch at sale time.
