94 sc400 200,214 miles. bought for $3500 with 185+k miles (i know i was ripped off but i didn't know until i started to go on this forum!!!)

$1000 pbm coilovers
$270 alignment and corner balance
$75 headlight buff
$650 in tune ups
$300 ECU rebuild

-----------------------------------------------------------------

& one of these soon this year

$1600 in wheels and tires
$1200 for exhaust(blitz) with new piping and cat delete from headers
$2700 for 5 speed conversion.

dont know what route i want to save up for just yet. but i guarantee in the next 2 years those 3 will be on my car. its hard going to school and having no job!!! hopefully i find one before mid this year as an electronics tech.

have about 2700 in mine, so far. still need quite a few things to make it half decent, but it's getting there.
400 for the car
1000 or so for for maintenance stuff. (I hate stupid previous owners)
300 or so for registration and stuff (again, I hate stupid previous owners)
300 or so for crap that was broken/missing (I still hate stupid previous owners)
700 or so for wheels/radio/etc. that wasn't needed, but wanted (yay, for a job!).

Had around $45k in it in various stages of non-completion, priceless lessons learned... Well, I guess they did have a price.

8800 so far, but I honestly don't even feel bad about it though because I love the car and would have bought it in its current state for that much in a heartbeat.

£2000 for the car...
Over £10,000 in fuel across 2 years.
General maintenance, just to keep it on the road as a daily driver? Makes me want to cry thinking about it.

The car takes every penny and I'm beginning to wish it was gone, sadly.

I don't add up the cost of what I put into my car, I just know it's worth every penny.
