Car History:
Vauxhall Cavalier, GBP2,000 - Totalled by an insurance salesman - got my money back, rented a car from my parents (in fact just bough another one and registered it in their name) while it was under dispute, which his insurance paid for -> Paid for the next car, whiplash payment more than paid for my next two cars after that (I do still have whiplash problems)
Vauxhall Cavalier - GBP2,000 - No trouble, Sold 2 years later for GBP1,200
Volvo 240 Estate - GBP1,100 - Bought at 110,00 miles, ran fine for five years, oil, brakes, tyres
Volvo 740 Saloon - GBP1,100 - Bought at 110,00 miles, Ran fine for five years oil, brakes, tyres, clutch
Subaru Forester - A$35,000 - So far so good (apart from my sister knocking down the garage with it - minor scratches on the bumper, could have been totalled)
I do pretty well all my own maintenance, minor repairs etc, except warranty and major services on the Subaru. Its out of warranty now.
