[Liam_LFC_VTR]

Erm, a good few hundred anyway.........

[craig180]

If I add up all the saxos I've ever owned it's probably in excess of £25k!

[Lewis1600]

[Proffitt]

Yes i regret selling my saxo if im honest.
Dont get we wrong...i love the golf but just cant really afford it financially (modding)

Driving the Golf sensibly with a stadard engine is like driving the vts like a knob when it was de-catted andinduction kit :( lmao

First of all is to do my homework on prices and shizz ;)

[luke1988]

i've spent around £1500 on mods i reckon :y:

[Matty_Mills]

In total i have spent in excess of 20K on cars.... at the age of 19

I regret this tbh!

[craig180]

Why live in regret?

I've spent over £35k on cars before the cost of modifying them!

[miamibluebaby]

Nearly, £2500 to £3000 including the price of the car so not to bad

the worrying thing is its not even on the road lol

[davidharvey]

Buy a brand new car and it loses thousands before you even drive it. Cars are an expensive hobby no matter how you go about it. An although I have spent a lot on my saxo the cost is spread out

[AndySAXO]

i spent about 3 k on the engine, and about 3k on the chassis and bodywork, and that not including the new suspension setup i am getting soon :D

that is in 2 1/2 years aswell

[sir_dave]

Buying/modding cars is only the start ... its when you factor in fuel, servicing, insurance, tyres, tax, etc is starts to get funny. As such, I use a running cost calculator on Pistonheads for all my cars.

Since 2005 i have owned a clio 182, 206 hdi, 172 cup & a 328i Sport, covered 120k miles & spent just over £29,000 on running costs in 4 years.

That doesnt include the cost of buying them either FLOL ;)
