POLL Puzzle ~ How much profit did I make from buying/selling the car?

[NeRo]

Reading the #22 thread it reminds me of the puzzle that's doing the rounds on the Internet ...

You buy a car for £6000
You sell it for £7000
You buy it back for £9000
Then resell it for £11000

How much profit did I make from buying/selling the car?

Agh, I want to change my vote! haha.

It depends how many times you taxed it, MOT'd it, insured it, serviced it and drove it.

Nothing is a VERY good outcome.

Looking at the poll results I think some people are over complicating it

The only time I ever made a profit on a car was back in 1973, I bought a sit up and beg Ford pop from a mate for £5, ran it for a few weeks, worst car I have ever driven the cable brakes were horiffic. Scrapped it for £5 and got £2.50 car tax refund.

My only profit was buying a new Volvo XC90 when they first came out and selling it a year later for about 5k more

Or a bit dim!

My mat says 2k, but I have always been a sucker for trick question...

Or a bit dim!

I represent that remark

I am getting 'into' the Z3 market. It would seem a licence to print money. I have found an average 3 litre with low mileage that I have offered £5k for.

I will give it a clean and advertise it on AT for around £20k. I am in no hurry!

I've just re-read the question. No fair. I wanna change my answer

When do we get the answer - I've turned my phone upside down and look at the footer but there's nothing there?

I might have sold another 2 cars at this rate!

Oh blinking heck yes, that will teach us
