How much you've spent on your car?, I'm new so mines easy :) Options

[funnyboy117]

I just got a new addition to my car, so I thought I'd tally up all of the money I've spent (not counting maintanence and time) and get some vague descriptions in there....here goes:

$7000-Price out the door from dealer
$2200-Initial money for sound system
$70-Dynamat trunk kit
$1600-Wheels and Tires
+ $350-Kenwood Music Keg
$11,220

If only our cars were worth how much we spent on them...so how is it for you guys? I'm probably near the lowest on the site, but I'd like to see what you guys all spend your money on.

[Supersprynt]

repost?

Also, you cant really count the actual cost of the car, since its not ON the car, its the car...ya know?

[ghostdog]

yup. hella repost, but thats ok. its been a while since the last one

anyway here are 4 other threads on the same topic for reference:

WOW, this car has been a money pit, and it's still broke and not done. I've spent all this money since 2002 and I don't even get to drive it for more than a2 weeks every 6 months, haha. Yeah, I feel like crying.

EDIT: Grand total is...$11,037 for just mods...car was $7,000 flat. It could be more, but I just rounded prices to the closest number and didn't include a few things I might've forgotten. And to think that the car for me is pretty much stock...I really don't see the money there. That's not counting the price for the TRD wing and SSIII splitters...and the paint and bodywork involved plus the engine rebuild and setup when the time comes in 2006. This is really overwhelming.
