First car for £1250 which i scrapped 
Second car i paid £1750, swapped with Linch and got £500 my way
So in theory 3rd car was £1250, sold 9month later for £1500
4th was £1500, sold for £1350
Current was a lovely price, and think i can easily make money on it when i want to sell it.

Approx figures for me is:
Corsa cost me around 8k in totl including buying it, mods, new engine & I px'd it for around 3k
MR2 was 11k, mods came to around 2000 sold 18 months later for 8k
BMW E0 paid 1200 & spent about £400 on then px'd a few monts later getting £500 
Impreza cost 5k, mods - about 3k sold for 4k
Clio bought for 3k, sold for 2500 10 months on.
Alfa - Free Repairs - £400-ish for mot - sold for £1200
Golf mk2 £500 quid - sold for £1500 - WIN
Golf Mk4 bought for 6k, around 2000 on mods then px's for 2900 - LOOSE
M3 - Bought for 18700, refrained from modding because parts are too expensive. Hopefully wont loose loads when I sell!!
Obviously not accurate as I cant account for everything but around 18-19k in 9 years isnt too bad......2k a year.

bought the corsa for £1500, sold it 2 years later for £1150. can't really complain.
i'll probably lose on the teg, the price of them dropped after i bought it but looking at the ones for sale at the moment i may actually break even

Bought my first golf for £50 quid needed a wing and leg (cost about £150 to do. Sold that for £800
Corsa I lost money on but not too much (that was mainly due to modifying it.)
Broke even with the Anniversary even though I traded it in. (owned that for 2 years)
