Had a mate sell his first car recently. He is in his mid 30s now, and yes it was a toyota. Sad day for him. I decided to look up my first car's rego. Loved the shit outta that thing, sold it probably 12 years ago? maybe more. It was utterly ruined when I sold it! A combination of its previous owner, age, high km and a young 20 something me living his rally fuckboi fantasies in it. The rego was cancelled jan this year. So it went on to be driven (or at least parked and rego paid) for another 12+ years. Cant believe it! The quote I got to keep it on the road 2011/2012 was $10k. I sold it for 2.
Im a bit heartbroken. I coulda kept it going way longer than I thought.
Wonder if I can order the number plate and just shelve it for now till I can one day stick it on a WRX?
It likely had that $10k spent on it to keep it going.
Dunno. I THINK the place I traded it in sold it for like 7-8k. Cant imagine you buy it then spend that money again on keeping her going. She was nice, but she wasnt a collectors item or anything.
