I explain to every muppet that asks me this how they've lost more £ than me in ineterest and depreciation!! I've prob spent 4/5k over the years so far on my mk2, and its an abf'd uber rare colour jobbie. Sure I may lose a couple on it straight away if I sold it, but people lose that in months/ 1 year of depreciation!! My car is rare, unique in fact, the number plate says 'hung', everyone young and old loves it, it smashes most 20k new cars to bits (every morning + evening in fact), basically there's just no argument. That's not even taking into account how a mk2 drives compared to new 'de-sensitised' cars!! I'd happily lose a couple/few grand over 7 years so far on a car that kicks every1 elses arse. You pay 15k for your pile of wank that by the time you've finished paying 18k for it is only worth 3!!! Ha! When I 'just' and I mean just get done by a new st focus etc, and get smiled/laughed at, I explain that actually, for a 21 year old car with no turbo, 2k's worth instead of 20 that actually they're the ones that should be embarrased!!!
