For the last few years I have been driving my own car, but to be honest with you I have started to doubt the value of keeping my own car. The vehicle initially cost me four thousand pounds second hand. In the time that I have owned in, I have spent nearly three thousand pounds on repairing it, and today the value of the car is less than fifteen hundred pounds!

Also, if you do end up buying a new car, before you know it, the value has halved, and you are just losing money again!
