yep i agree.
cabs/sports cars tent to have alot more owners. A guy once said to me ''ohh no its had 4 owners..THAT IS TOO MUCH!.
It was a 12+ year old car. Some people dont have a clue!  :rolleyes:


18 owners does make resale harder though. As long as its pukka with you and at the right price you cant go wrong. :smiley:

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!

Not many Hot Rods out Wisbech way is there... :wink: :wink:

thats nothing, my mates last 8v gti on a j-plate (91)  had 23 previous owners!!! i was the 24th but we never swapped the log book over as i broke it for spares, and it had only done 107k, each owner cant have done many miles in it lol

I looked at a Bmw 316 Compact the weekend, was close to buying it but 10yrs old with 11 owners and the last guy only had it 2 months, made me think something was wrong with it.
