You spent how much???

There are many of us out there who have put more money into a car than its really worth. But how far would you be willing to go? Whats the most amount of money you, or someone you know has put into a car? Thats including upgrades, repairs, appearance, etc..?

Re: You spent how much???

Currently I put $700 in my CRX. In about a year, a K20A2 engine swap is planned, estimated cost: $5-6000. Does that answer your question? Some people think it's a waste, but not me.

Re: You spent how much???

$700 is not bad but I'd probably be hesitant to do a $6,000 engine swap.

Cars are a costly addiction!

25K on the Buick Grand National, 15K in Mods and 10K in Rims and paint.

The Evo VIII is on a 5K budget

$80.00 for brakes.
$600 for the car.
$1,100 for the wheels and tires.
$1,000 for misc interior and exterior trim.

I honestly don't know what my budget is for the car total. I just work out a budget for each different modification. It might cost me and upwards of $20,000 to finish the car.

Re: You spent how much???

About $1300 has been sunk into panel repairs, $600 into general maintenence, $330 on new tyres and $40 on new hubcaps. This is on a $4500 car.


All figures are in New Zealand dollars.
