Just out of interest how much do your cars generally sell for once you've saved them?

Depends what it is. I've just sold a top spec 54 plate ZR on a cat D for £2400. It cost me £2200 alltogether inc purchase price to repair it but i used it for a year so £200 profit wasn't bad

I usually only make a couple of hundred profit on each one but i do it more as a hobby than to make money to be honest.

Like this ZS, I picked it up for £850. I've picked up all the bits it needs inc the extra's like skirts and front bumper splitter all in the correct colour for £130. The front bumper does need repaiting though due to scratch's which is going to cost me £50 mates rates so £1130 so far plus Mot and tax as im using it fro abit. The cars only worth about £1500 so i wont make much on it.

It really annoys me how easily they write these cars off, there is no need for it.

Phate is an unknown quantity at this point
I'm half tempted to get Southside to look at my car to see why it eats driveshafts.
