How much did you pay for your car & how much did you put into it

When I bought my car it was a pile of junk sittin on some guys lawn. The paint was so dull you couldnt see a single reflection in it. The exhaust was all rotted out, and the interior smelled like a pack of bums threw up in it. Couple minor dings, but the body was solid, and the motor hadn’t been ran in years. And the best part of all, it was bone stock. All-in-all I paid $1900.00 for it. Now almost three years and 1000 headaches later I have over $22,000.00 invested in it…

$17,900 for the car
aprox $4k invested into it

i regret spending every penny

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

23k for the car
9k in mods

$5400 + $4500 or so.

1992 Galant VR4 - $4500
Parts sold off of it - - $500

…$4000 for the car

Probably over $6K in parts and wheels (no tires). Labor not included.

need tunning

2002 Honda S2000 - ~$20K
48K miles / 4 year extended warranty - $2400

Bone stock otherwise.

saab 9000 - 800 bucks
- 400 transmission
= 1200 bucks

Mk3 Jetta - 2500
- clutch/brakes/rotors/exhaust/parts -1200
= 3700 total (way to much)

$1k for the car $1k in parts

$7750 for the car $6200 in parts and labor. I regret spending every dollar on mods.

1998 Dodge Dakota R/T
purchased 7/8/05 for $10,000 with 46,000 miles. it was damn near perfect when i got it. only thing wrong with is was the previous owner smoked like a chiminy and getting rid of the smell took a little effort and there are a coupple cig burn on the seats, but somehow they r on the sides so u litterally dont see them unless u wedge your hand down between the seat and the center console.

close to a year and 8,000 miles later, i have about $1500 into it.

$33,600 for the car, $300.00 in mods. lol

Biggest mistake I could have made…

16,500 for my car

and about

4,500 into it i would say with everything added up together.

OMG!!! just kill me now… :jawdrop:

Bought the car for $1X,XXX.

Last year put $1X,XXX into it.

Since Jan 1st '06, I’ve put $6XXX into it.

And I don’t regret spending any of it :slight_smile:

I :heart: my hobby :tup:

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH

Bought the Mustang in April of '97 for $5000. It was a theft recovery, 49k on it, perfect condition inside and out…just needed a driveline, wheels, tires, some interior parts…since then I have no idea how much money has gone into it since many parts have been sold. I also had a few parts cars along the way to help fund things. if I had to guess…maybe 12k???

The SHO…paid $1977 on ebay…did the 5 spd. swap for free after selling parts…have only put $800 into it and that was a few weeks back on new wheels! …So less than $3k in the SHO total:)

Before anyone else says it… way to much.

$4,000 for the car (too much) plus about $6,000 into it and another $3,000 planned for this season.

newman bought it all for me :tup:

…muscle5.0 - WTF 22K … holy shit

I don’t own a car. I make monthly payments so I can pretend that I own one… but its all an illusion. After another 3 years, I figure I’ll drive the thing through the wall of the dealership (hit a Ford GT in the process somehow) and walk away.

$1500 for the car
$200 for parts (so far)
