Think I probably spent about £6,000 maybe more on my old Corsa including buying it. Added it all up once but not sure what I got to.

£1800 buying.
£1000 insurance
£95.00 standard centre & back box.

£306.49 service (inc battery, pads etc).
£22.00 wheel alignment.
£15.00 mats.
£80ish CD player.

May be it wasn't cheaper than staying in halls at Uni afterall. Looks like I have to keep the 12valver for the full 3 years to benefit

Probably about a grand. Could have it finished to how i'd want it on a budget, in about 600 quid but lost interest and don't have the coin. Never bought anything massively expensive, mostly just 1050ish stuff, Exhaust 150, Half-leather trim 120, wheels with nearly new proxies on 150, plus bits from scrappers and freebys from a mate like front bumper..
