Saving for cars

I’m sitting at home playing on my old computer. I was just looking through some of my old files and I found this table:

1 Escort $ 15000 Early 2006
2 Mustang $25000 Mid 2006
3 Early 911 $35000 Mid 2007
4 M5 $40000 Early 2008
5 BMW 3.0 CSL $50000 Late 2008
6 Austin Healey 100/6 $60000 Late 2009
7 E-Type $70000 Mid 2010

This table, under the subheading of revised targets, demonstrates two things. Firstly, that I’m a poor saver. I am yet to purchase any of these, not even close. Secondly, it demonstrates is the change in price of a number of cars, particularly the huge increase in value of early 911s. Just as a point of contrast, here is the original table:

1 Mini Cooper 'S' $14000
2 BMW 325is $16000
3 Ford Escort Mk 1 $20000
4 Triumph TR6 $25000
5 Ford Mustang $32000
6 Ford Sierra $35000
7 Holden Torana L34 $45000
8 Jaguar E Type $55000
9 Austin Healey 3000 $65000
10 BMW 3.0 CSL $80000


This also demonstrates that I haven’t changed that much, as I would pretty much still have the same cars in the beat of a heart. Still, would have been lovely to save along this (obviously not a cent was saved for insurance, rego, service etc in any of these plans, just purchase price. Inflation was also not catered for).

Yes, that was fun. Ill focus on saving I think now for a while, after fixing the BM which is a little sick (& in need of a bit of a g-up anywho).

Perhaps later on ill type a little of some of the old school notes I read… scary!
