You guys who added in regular and unscheduled maintenance, labor (dyno time included) and other general costs associated with owning a car shouldn't even be here if you're going to whine about how much you've spent or are spending to own a car, let alone a DSM money pit. Parts and hard items are the only things you should ever add up when finding out how much you truly have spent on your car(s).

In all, I am going to spend less than $5000 on my car, built engine, and a lot of other goodies. The end product will result in a car capable of over 300whp and mid-12 second 1/4 mile runs... But who cares, read the sig. ;)

If you want to look at just the price of the Car and then the cost of Upgrades only . And No Labor Cost's.

Going off the my MN.dsm.org profile (part for part) - per my reciepts

Cost of Car - $13,500
Interior - $2382
Stereo - $5345
Exterior - $990
Performance - $11,063
Total=$33,280

4 Years of Labor Work - $16,000 (doesn't include work I've done or free help from friends)

The Rest is:
-Repairs - $17,000
-GSX - $5000

[copper_gst]

$7,000 for car
$1,500 for rims
$10,000-$12,000 Performance

All well worth it.

4Jenny's Car

Car - $1500
Interior Mods - $60
Stereo Mods - $1653(includes price of stuff waiting to be installed)
Exterior Mods - $120
Performance Mods - $3508 (Includes cost of Mods that came with car($475) and Shep tranny)
Total = $6865


All said and done with labor/OEM parts,etc $8208 would be the total of Jenny's car so far.

In reality to get her car up and running only: $4443
-Car
-Shep Tranny
-ACT 2600 clutch
-60K tune up (tensioners,belts,waterpump,gaskets,Fluids)

Does that include the 2G? or just the 1G?

[Nash]

That just includes my 1G. The topic is "What's The Total You've Spent Your Your Car?". Not What's The Total You've Spent Your Your Cars?. I'm not even going to figure out the total spent on all of my DSMs.

[SlowWhite]

HAHA your right.

looking at it that way the total for my GSX.

CAR - $5000
Interior -$2382
Stereo - $5345
Exterior - $990
Performance - $11063

=$24,780


I like this the amount keeps getting smaller vs. Getting Higher!!!!

[Matt D.]

Exageration vs. Reality

Glad I could help. ;)
