Re: You spent how much???
Most of my cars are daily drivers so I just do the normal maintenance, and some preventative maintenace on them. My pickup got a new class 3 hitch last fall to be able to tow a car carrier, and that was the extent of extra money I spent on my vehicles. My Bel Air is a different story, though, as I hope to begin restoration on it this year. It's hard to spend extra money on your vehicles when you have a family.

Re: You spent how much???
I currently have $15k invested in a car that I paid $300 for. (that's not a typo)
I also have $7000 invested in this darn 73 station wagon, but its worth it. I consider any car worth it, provided its a personal investment, not a material investment.

Re: You spent how much???
$3,000 in my Camry. It runs like new, though. It'll top 300K if I want it to.

Uh, do $17 wheel covers count? Other than that, I've replaced the front and rear speakers, and that's it on my $5900 'Bu.

My Summit cost me $1,500. Car in its current state is worth its weight in gold (2600 lbs.
) if you ask me, reason being: A/C and heater work perfectly, abundance of passenger/cargo room, 25-30MPG in the city, comfortable, looks pretty nice IMO (everybody loves the Summit! ), pretty darn fast, very reliable, lots of fun to drive. What's the deal-o?I've dropped about $400 into it so far. - $200 - Upgraded sound system. New unit; bigger, and louder speakers. - $200 - Tints. 15% in the rear windows; 35% (I think) in the front. I'm not sure if I should go all out on this one. Seems like a good enough car with lots of potential, but the idea of modding a mini-minivan is probing my mind in a bad way. Suggestions? |
