How much was your first car?

baggie9 · 10th June 2009, 22:16

Mine was a 1956 morris 1000 and cost £10.I was an telephone apprentrice engineer on £8 a week.

1989 Peugeot 205 XLD that cost £625... I was a student on £0 a week

Was on 189k and running sweet when sold three years later for £200. Do many of today's small cars get to that kind of mileage often?
