Paid around 8000 for a 6 year old bmw, biggest pile of junk i ever bought
Best car i bought was another bmw for around £2800 if i recall with 165000 miles on the clock. Sold it with 232000 miles on it
 
This is an interesting thread/question. Most ever spent on any car is £20,000 for a Porsche 911 SC...but I genuinely hate spending unnecessary money on cars and over the years have gained a psychological block spending any more than £5,000 on a car, and it's incredible what brilliant low mileage cars can be bought for £5,000. The absolute best all round car ever bought is my current daily driver, the Subaru Forester XT, I paid £5,000 for this with only 52k miles covered, FSH and was in near mint condition when bought. The Landy was £8,500...but have ploughed in much more than this on its refurb' as she's a life keeper :)
 
£5k on my L322 but sold the number plate for £800 and put it towards the £1500 for the gearbox and TC. I have spent more on my bikes current one was £8500 4 years ago.
 
15k for a D2 when it was 4yrs old, massive depreciation for the first buyer.

As I have gotten older I cannot help but think buying anything newish is just a massive waste of money.

thats a lot of money 20k, you still got the porsche? never had a porsche but love the look of the cayenne, the gts in particular

yea subaru forester is actually amazing in the snow from the clips i saw years ago on youtube but obviously depends on the driver, nice cars though :)

which landy you got specifically?
 
I got a free disco td5 off here once :D chap from london drove up here bought a yacht & sailed
it back south, left the disco in the boat yard then it ran out of mot as he didnt have the time to come
back for it. So he offered it on here, I got it recovered & chucked it in for an mot (it passed) lol
Used it for a year then sold it :):)
 
About £9000 for an ex-demo Jimny with 150 miles on the clock, in 2008 I think. Did 100,000 trouble-free miles in that one, my third Jimny. Only bought my first Freelander when we got so many dogs that they wouldn't fit in the Suzukis, even with a shoe-horn.
 
£2200 is the most i've spent on a car that was my D2 TD5 which was a right minter interior and body wise and EVERYTHING WORKED which is what I liked.

To be fair I bought it with my heart and not the head, subsequently all the chassis rust I didn't seem to see!! :p:D I'd love to put a new chassis under it but don't think I will. :(

Umm my P38 cost me £800 and roughly 5 times that to keep it on the road. :rolleyes::D

1991 RRC Vogue Manual I bought for £1800 tarted it up a bit and sold it for £9000 :D

2005 Jaguar S type SE paid £450 :D

1987 Daimler 3.6 - £1900
 
If i recall, i think i paid £500 for my 2A in 1993
Just shows you could buy a vehicle at cheap price that can still last to this day. I remember driving in 1988 a old fart of a landy that struggled to get up saxavord radar site. Mid seventies type with it tongue out and headlights bulging but still got me up there miss that bugger.
