What has your car cost you?

Haven't done much for the a4 yet, but I'll share from my r32.

Seems like I did pretty well compared to others. Got a lot if stellar deals.

I think everything is here....


Air suspension:
Bags/struts/tank/compressor: $1700 used
Management:$700 used

Wheels:
Cc10's: $450 shipped after the whole water cooled ind f*ck up lol
Bbs rs reps: $900 shipped

Rubber:
Winters: $550 shipped
Summers: $750 local

Exterior:
Roof rack $400


Interior:
Headunit: $300
Little goodies: $200

Engine:
Intake: $350
Exhaust: $700 used

Maintinence:
Maintinence added up be about $2000 for the short time I owned the car . Oil changes/dsg/Haldex/brakes.

So that makes a total of about $7650 in mods.

For things I sold:
Cc10's:$900
Headunit:$300


Bought the car for $20500 owned it for 10 months or so. Sold it for $25000 with mods excluding a few things here and there.

Car plus mods = about $28150
Selling the car - $25000
=$3150 for mods?

made quite a bit back after the sale

$28150/25000kms= $1.126/km while i owned the car.

$3150 for mods, plus $2000 for maintinence =$5150 not including gas/insurance.
drove the car for about 25000kms
cost per km=$.206/km after the car sale.

Re: What has your car cost you?

Morris you got your math backwards me thinks! 12,800 into 48k is more like 0.38/km or so off quick math.

Re: What has your car cost you?

Ugg. This seems like depressing math. I might dig up some numbers and play along shortly... parts and maintenance are not so bad for me as the 2 months of in and out of the dealer with my car was all warranty. Think that would have been about 12,000$ for one issue had it been out of my pocket. Hah.

Re: What has your car cost you?

Countless dollars, lady friends and points on my license. Even a few meals, family get togethers, days at work and some sleepless nights.

All worth it.
