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.

I'm half tempted to get Southside to look at my car to see why it eats driveshafts.
