How little did you pay for your IB (back in the day) ?

[GaryH]

Prompted by the insurance thread where trackday excess was 10% of your car's value.

If you bought your car recently you're excused, to save your blushes 😉

I'm in with a shout here (unless Fred turns up !)

I'll start - £10995 in 2007 👍

£9500 in 1998

[lindol]

Owned my '79 SC nearly 30 years now. Purchased from original owner's ex wife, her trophy from the divorce. I was living in the southern US at the time and it was $14,000 and converted as shown to £8733, ...a good buy....!

 

[Jonny Hart]

£6,995 in 2011.  

Listed on eBay with one photo taken in the rain - auction expired with no bids.  First car I saw.

[rich73]

£8.5K for a G50 3.2 in 2012, at the time a good one was £16K. Spent £20K on it , saved by the rising market.

[GaryH]

Hmmmmm - it appears I've brought a knife to a gunfight !

That's what you get for buying from a dealer.

You lot were ripped off  £6500 in 2006. Saw it on eBay, went to look and mentally bought it the moment the owner opened the garage door. It was the second car I had looked at. Drove it home the next day.

[hagarep]

£7500 in 2007, for my Carrera 3.0

The owner had several cars and had bought an AC Frua. One needed to go before it was delivered, due to room and wife limitations.

Knocked down from £10k because it ran and stopped very badly and he was desperate.

[proporsche]

well i bought my beast back in 1996 as a bank repo-with a friend who worked at the back for $9000......just broke this year 500K miles with it. It had about 280k miles when i got it...

€8000 in 2007, granted, it weren’t in the finest of fettle.

 

[16vjay]

£14k in 2013, owner thought 2nd + 3rd gears had an issue which I've never found..... 

I'd have an AC Frua in a heartbeat. 

[Nige]

£13.5k in 2007

Though had looked at one as little as £5.5k which was actually pretty good, solid but was repainted in VW Jazz Blue and gearbox was sh*te.  Looked at one for £15k being sold by a dealer oop norf, was told it was 100% rust free, when viewed it turned out to have rot in every panel, roof gutters and even the sunroof panel itself.

Also I remember pondering over 964s as they were even cheaper than IBs.

[njpcarrera32]

£19,911 in 2013. It wasn’t the cheapest at the time, but neither was it the most expensive given mileage and condition.

From the history file the lowest price it was advertised at was £12,000, a few years before that. 

[SilverWT]

My 3.2 - £9k in 2007

My SC - £16 in 2010

Haha £40k in 2021.

I paid top end for a 964C2 from JZM in 2010 - £21k

£65k for a 996 GT2 in 2008

How times change.

 

 

 

[Wingnonut]

£15,750 in 2012. Had planned to spend £10k. There were a few around at that price point then but when I looked at them I realised I was kidding myself. Upped my budget and found the best I could. 

[alastair]

£11500 back in 2012.

Spent rather more bringing it back to its former glory

I guess a more realistic figure to those that have owned their cars many years would be how much over and above the buying price has been spent sorting the cars ?

Man maths rules always apply. 😀

Not as much as you'd think - in my case

[Roy M]

18k in 1999 (as I remember) so a lot more than most of you! 1988 G50 Coupe. Been the cheapest car to run I've ever had!

[Beaky]

Full restoration and general upkeep stand me at a smidge over six times the purchase price.
