How much do you spend on maintenance for your supra?

[born2drv]

Just maintenence... this doesn't include mods... but if you blow up an engine or transmission every year, go ahead and include that

It seems that every year of driving for me = a year downtime with another few grand.

Now if I were to just drive it, I think it would be very good to me. My car has never broken down on me, never given me trouble. So, I voted 0-500$ because I usually spend like $200 on it for stuff like oil changes, spark plugs, other stuff like that. I bought tires last year, so it would have been more like $500

too much.....

LOL! I'm with you there. I predict that next year will be a record year as far as no maintenance on the Supra. haha

i lost count after the 1st head gasket..

 

[Joel W.]

first year about 1k, and 500 every yr after is probably about right..

meh i said 500-1000 as this year i did a clutch on it + oil and plugs, last year oil + plugs and a bhg. as for mods....lets not talk bout that

option 1:
Only basic stuff after last year with the new motor.So for the last year ive only payed for a few misc. hoses that have went bad, heater blower, front brakes, and plenty of oil changes.

For the rest of this year i expect about the same, oil change everymonth or so, and eventually spark plugs and valve cover gaskets.Those damn K&N oil filters add up quick

jeez i feel special then.... so far i've spent about 6-7k fixing up my car in the last 4-5 months alone.

mind you i replaced everythig with the best, brand new high performance stuff.... but i've done an engine overhaul/rebuild with mhg/arps, tranny swap, 100% new suspension (nearly everything replaced), and about 1/2 of all components under hood replaced (alternator, a/c compressor, etc, etc, etc) and some restoration (new leather seats, other minor stuff)

i've owned this car for 12 yrs.... 6 of that it just sat... so 6 yrs driving and i've now replaced the engine 4x and the tranny 3x.... mind u i was wreckless in my youth.... so now that i'm all grown up and can pay for proper maintenence i hope this time it's bulletproof since i am sparing no expenses :icon_conf

i still have the body work to do restoration on, that's gonna be another 3-4k... and then hopefully i'm done :aigo:

 

[blackout_89t]

Ok I lied.

Taking into account body work, I have spent a fair ammount, but then I do do it all myself (even paint) so it ends up not being TOO much...

 

[OneJArpus]

just got my supra, so far, oil change, brakes all around, fixing the tail lights, and a coolant hose blowing = 345. Not encluding what i want to do, New diff gasket & new fluid to see if the diff still works, tune up, all new hoses, and a new rad. SO i'll be in it for another k or so.

 

[Red Dragon]

... and then hopefully i'm done :aigo:

That my friend, is a pipe dream....

 

[GotToyota?]

A bit more than a thousand. I faint at the amount of $ I've already spent. :aigo:

 

[wingman]

between two of them, i've honestly lost count....judging by how much of my paycheck goes to them though, I'd say in the $6K range.

 

[NashMan]

to scarded to count don't even want to try eather i just end up crying at the end

 

[Mr.PFloyd]

im definately in the 1000-2000 range. engine rebuild . its kind of depressing but man im gonan be happy with the results. i know i am

 

[blackout_89t]

Oh and I have $14 000 unaccounted for from last year.

90% of that probably went into the car(s).

 

[GreenChevelleSS]

So far ive spent about $1250 on my car in about 4 months but thats including the full rebuild I did on the engine but not the price of the car.
