How much have you spent...

I was going threw all of my car reciepts and I decided to add up how much I have spent on the car since day-1. I got the car on March 23, 05 so this is from then to present.
I totaled everything up to be around $5100, probably more around $5400 by the time I add up everything I have bought in town, I dont save many of those reciepts. This includes tires, alignment, and anything like that.

I also have around $1250 worth of free parts I have gotten for the car.

Its a shame when the aftermarket parts cost more than the fuckin car did!!
Lets see how much you guys have spent, maybe it will make me feel better.

Re: How much have you spent...

I'm almost positive I'm upwards of $25k if you add up all 3 cars. The RS, TSI AWD, and the GST. Looking back on it..I'd do it all over again.

Re: How much have you spent...

I can't keep track of everything.

$4000 for the car.
$3000 for the tranny.
$2000 or so for the head.

Right there too much. But ya, it's all worth it. Spent well over 10k on mods and maintenance.

Re: How much have you spent...

This thread makes me feel sick to my stomach... lol... I am scared to add it all up... All I know is that so far I have spent nearly 10k on my motor and tranny... Originally paid 3k for it... 1k on redoing the body and a nice paint job... I don't even wanna add up all the other stupid things...

Re: How much have you spent...

Purple car $750
Black parts car $500
Blue parts car $400
Performance parts that didnt come with a parts car $600
Not sure on maintenance stuff, I would say ~$100
That leaves the total at $2350 plus stuff I have forgotten about. I bet I have spent a total of about $2600 or so on it.
However, I have sold around $700 in extra parts and have TONS more. I estimate that I have about $1900 in it at the moment. Remember ya'll buy smart!

$Priceless.
