The Feel Bad Thread

[benz88]

The lincoln I got for a good deal, Needed bodywork. What I have into the car though, Probably 12X more than what I paid for the car If not more. As soon as its out of the bodyshop again Its getting Appraised lol.

I've finally figured out that buying a good base saves you money in the long-run.

So for my current project I've got $8,500 in the car, $1,500 in the wheels and $3,000 in suspension. Haven't had to do any maintenance on it yet, blessedly.

Fucking Byron

M3 so far:

18k$ for the car
1600$ for custom suspension
2k$ for wheels

Coming up...
300$ for adapters
500$ for tires
150$ for camber arms
More to come

150 camber arms? Tell me about this deal.

Got the car for $4500 a couple years ago. Was suppose to pay $6k but worked out a deal with my parents so they could claim me on their taxes and I wouldn't owe the remaining $1500 on my car. It was a win win situation for both of us.

Between wheels, tires, suspension, and materials to clean up the wheels that's pretty close to $2500 if not a touch more. On top of that I've done a bunch of other stuff, intake, battery relocation, short shifter, shifter bushing, and a bunch of other odds and ends.

So about $3500 for just aftermarket shit. That doesn't include any brake jobs or regular maintenance shit. I also have 2 sets of stock wheels with one set having winter tires and another with all season tires so there is a few hundred there.

All said and done close to $4k or so.

Would I do it over again? Probably, it was a fun learning experience since no one has done much with this model Kia.

[Dudermagee]

Uh 9k for the car
5k or so on wheels and tires
4k or so on suspension
1k on diff set up
2k on brakes
2k on aero
5k on miscellaneous
and I'm about half way done

[Minuki]

Got my second Mini last year for £300. Probably put about £2K into it, still needs painted. Ugh

[michealis]

$950 for the car, $5000 for the engine build + conversion, $1500 for wheels and tyres and about $400 on random interior parts.

It pains me to think that I've nearly spent 8k on the car and I haven't started on the bodywork or have coilovers yet.

Funny thing is I've spent over $6500 on insurance over the last 2 years

[stig]

$3100 for the Miata
~$1000 wheels/tires
~$500 in recent maintenance
~$700 in suspension

Probably around $5500 total. Would I do it again? Hell yes. I'm just getting started....

[OH DANGG]

Bought my Tiburon brand new for $23k, paid off
Coilovers- $1250
Wheels- $3100 (all wheels combined)
Tires- @$2400 (all sets)
Lip- $400
Who knows how much more for other maintenancey type things.

Hell yeah I'd do it again, it turned out sexy

[Moose]

Wouldn't ever want to really add it up but it hasn't been that bad, I would do it again in a heartbeat.

[ChrisVRsix]

car: $1500 (dead condition)
engine, A/C, interior, cut coils, etc: $4500 !

Confused on the cost of cutting coils..


Had way to much in the Corrado.. thing was a bitch, probably 7-8k into it.

Havent had the wrx long but 7400 for the car, 700 on used wheels/tires, 200 on oil/filter... not looking forward to its future costs (maintence, suspension, wheels ect) but ya gotta pay to play.
