How much have you spent?

[Russell]

Well I had some extra time today and priced out what I have spent and would expect to spend on my car until I will stop modding for the time being:

1997 VR6 GLX WINDSOR BLUE $9700

Interior:
--[w]LED Switch $50
--[f]Back drivers side
--[w]Heat Control
--[u]Cluster
[u]Headliner $--
[u]Paint Pillars $--
[u]Front set recovering $--

Exterior:
[p]Golf IV Looking head lights $430
[i]Long Crystal Clear Fogs $140
[i]JOM 2 Bar Grill $140
[i]Boser $100
[p] Fender Flare Set $60
[i] VR6 Lower Valence $90
[u]Bump Fix $--
[u]Power Polish $--
[u]Wet Sand $--
[u]Dent Removing $--
[u]Paint $2500

Performance
[d]Zimmermann Breaks $140
[d]Break Pads $100
[d] Autotech Suspension $750
[f]Polished Intake $150
[p]Upsolute Chip $375
[p]Magnaflow Cat Back $550

Total started = 6
Total done = 3
Total pending = 6

[w] = being worked on
[f] = needs to be fixed
[u] = not started
[i] = waiting install
[p] = waiting to buy
[d] = done

Total = $15275


I have updated this like 5 times now as I keep finding new things that I should add... I am starting to think I have spent WAY to much money on a car that is 8 years old... but I have not gotten the paint, or the chip... so I guess I really have only spent like $2000 on it up until this point

I would say about 25 all in.

I have some serious stuff coming, maybe, including some hail repair.

Re: How much have you spent?

No kidding - the guys at work joke that my car costs more than a 3 series, and I don't have as much as Ryan.

Fortunately I don't like stock 3-series anyways.

You're spending it on yourself not on your car

People who like gardening spend thousands a year on their gardens - the plants all die every winter.

VW's = expensive hobby =)

Girls = even worse. They should start paying for dates.

haha you dont wanna know how much it is to fully shave the car and mold bumpers in and then repaint a different color.

Less than it does to do the same thing to a woman!

Like my boss says: If its got tits or tires its gonna be expensive.

This year I'm up to about $4500. 2/3 of which is stereo gear.

Re: How much have you spent?

Hmm, never really worked it out, I would say I've only spent $2500 over my original cost of the car (I won't post that....its too much!!)

Re: How much have you spent?

Lol thats funny....

Anyway I try not to think of how much I spend but being an accountant it is all accounted for just dont look too hard at the numbers. To get my Smart where I would like it I think I will be looking at around 7,000 but I guess we will see what happens.
