well the trade-in value on my T-bird is a wopping $625 and private party is $1500 but then I have put in $2000 for new engine, $2000 for all the stuff to make it work in the wrong car, $2500 built trans, $350 for new rear end, $450 for tires 2 weeks before I blew the engine up $1500 in go-fast goodies, and much more soon for the handling. so in the past year I have dumped about $9k into it but I did get the car for free from my dad who paid roughly $35k new in 1995. The truck is worth about $18K once I fix the windshield.

If only i could get so lucky. Those $50 cars for me are usually about $5,000. Someone who has a $50 BMW isn't having it serviced at the dealership

I'll probably think of buying one of the cheap ass cars people are flogging on uni noticeboards once I can get more lucrative jobs and save up to cover both intervarsity debating and car maintenance.
