To be honest it is a lot but look at it another way it works out at one per year (almost)

Most I have every had is 7, will not buy a car with more than 4 to be honest as it makes resale harder.

My 1996 Mk3 I have just sold had 3 including me.

From working in the trade ive noticed that sporty cars and Cabs always have more owners, The most ive seen is 15 on a MK1 cab. Most shocking was an 03 plate astra Turbo Cab this was in 05 so it was only 2 1/2 years old, 7 owners! had been repossesed 4 times!

nice one i knew it might be a dog when i bought it but surprising it is not as bad as i thought always have to have a new car every 2 years with my job (driving instructor) so as my 8v never goes wrong 6000miles in10years (jinxed it know) needed something cheap to fix up when board use to be a coach body repairer and still cant help fixing things , any way is the record safe keep them coming .max

Just checked with my mate he had a 1999 T Vectra Gsi and he was the 14th owner when he sold it, which was a lot in 10yrs.

Just to go the other direction slightly, I have a mate with a '53 Ford Pop (I'm into 'rods as well :drool:) and he's only the 2nd owner! Bought it from an area nurse who bought it new to do her rounds in!
