my girlfriend would be pissed if she saw this thread.

she always said that I spent too much money on my supra.

:werd: Yet another reason why I shouldn't count.

 

[StevO9389]

just a hair over 9K. bought it for 4k and spent the rest replacing motors and radiators from 2BHGs and 1 thrown rod. what i learned was not to buy from used car lots in Tampa or have them fixed there, i do all my own work from now on. the car was supposed to be a DD but i only put on 20k miles since '02 b/c of down time. the comfort and appearance just barely makes me not regret the money i wasted on crooked dealers/shops.

I look as my supra as an investment. i entered an auto class at BOCES here in westchester and firgured that out of all the money i spent, i leanred more about cars with the supra than 2 years of schooling.

under 6 thousand though, and worth it for every penny.

I could barley get a stock civic for that price!

And i refuse to ever get in debt. PERIOD.

 

[bigaaron]

I spent way more then I should have.

 

[themadhatter]

Car-700 with bhg
Parts to fix bhg-350
mustang wheels-100
new tire-300
3" exhaust/down pipe-300
K&N intake-free

so about-1800 but the car is noware new finished needs a paint job,new shocks and springs,and replace all the ball joints,bushings, and tierods then i might be happy

You sir, are very lucky.

Car was 3500$, less than 2,000 miles later BHG. I've spent about 2k-2.5k$ since then and my car is still a P.o.S.

 

[TurboToy-R]

Well, car cost me 7500cnd (which i thought was a smokin deal for a 1990 JMD TT 1jz, mint cond. and 71,000km) only bought an alarm and an exhaust so far. So I am at:
~8700cnd
I do not regret a moment of it, I love my car, as it sits in my garage for the winter, I am COUNTING the days until the sun shines again and I can cruise the wonderful county roads again *starts to daydream*

I still say its beats paying out 30k for a new car that falls 40% value the minute you drive it off the lot, and its certainly one of a kind, and how can you put a price on something you enjoy, put your own love and effort into, and last but not least, puts a smile on your face when everything goes well and makes you forget about the stresses of life. So until I hit the 30k mark, I will outfit my car as I see fit and enjoy life with my supra.

A lot don't even know or care...

 

[Piratetip]

Who is foolish enough to add their receipts?

 

[OneJSupra]

I spent way more then I should have.

same here and I lost track after it hit $9k.

 

[j3pz]

im probably closing in on 4k. only regret is i didnt get the supra running sooner so i would have more money to mod

 

[born2drv]

I've probably spent close to $50,000 over the past 12 years on my supra..... that's not even a joke, could be higher actually.

That includes going through 4 engines and 3 auto transmissions in 5 years and paying full rebuild price at a shop to do the work (ya I was stupid and beat the hell out of this car in my teenage years and my parents always fixed it even though they made me pay for part of it everything something blew up).

Lately I've spent about $4-5k just restoring it like leather seats, the new tail lights, replacing lots of trim and original parts, etc... another $5k or so in performance parts and another $3k buying parts not yet on the vehicle, and I plan to put another $5-7k in just body work next year + another rebuild engine.

Do I regret it now? Yes I guess you could say so, looking back it's been a money pit from day one and has cost me and my parents a lot of money that could have gone to better uses. But I am where I am and I still love my car and would never sell it, too many good memories. I could buy a cleaner shell and start over that way, but I'm too stubborn and determined to keep this one

 

[BlackMKIII]

$14,950

You know what kind of car you could buy for that?

Something not nearly as stylish or fast?

 

[suprarx7nut]

I've spent 4500 to date.

That includes my tranny rebuild (850 bucks, ouch). So if my tranny would have been in good shape when i bought the car, I'd be at about 3600 for a near excellent condition N/A targa with no known mechanical flaws so far..... but my mileage is a little high....

I tallied all the receipts given to me with the car and this car has consumed $50,000 of its various owner's money. Of course, thats not adjusted for inflation and includes the original sales price of 25k or something.

 

[bountykilla0118]

800 89 auto
50 cleaning the mold out of the car b/c of no targa for over a year
100 ecu
1200 engine rebuild
350 cutsom 3'' exhaust
100 3'' used elbow
500 r154
300 clutch stuff
800+ for some rims
300 SAFC 2
130 Autometer guages
300 for some JDM lowering springs and shocks

Just a little over 4000 but I am 100% willing to spend more....... I cant wait to get it painted and upgrade my turbo. There is just something about creating the things you want in life piece by piece and seeing it come to life after all the let downs that happen, from break parts, not checking your oil and getting a rod knock, BHG, me personally its the feeling that you get when someone asked who installed that and your response is “I did” and they don’t believe it but they do, and then it’s that since of pride you get after putting a straight ass whooping on 2007+ cars that are supposed to be "fast" in your little 80’s sports car which most are in need of paint like mine. Parts $4000, insurance $60, the pride of being the winning underdog…….. priceless!!

 

[noah89t]

i have spent a little over 12,000 on parts for the car. not including the initial price of the car.
