im not talking about stock or just bolt ons. im mean if you had a good list of mods going.

ill start
my 98 camaro was near 26K i bought it for 10k stock, cam, nitrous, trans, rear, bolt ons, wheels.

my new car so far including the car and most of my parts im at 20k

 

i would rather not say due to fear of my wife seeing this post. but if i had to guess i would say around 10k in mods,tuning,and installation. and 11k initial purchase price

 

I have almost $26,000 in mine including the car.... as of right now.

You have to pay to play!

 

pay to play oh i know that, i sold my camaro and bought a z06 a few months back, well i sold the z06 and lost a few grand just like that. if i was to go back, i would have kept my camaro. or at least never got the vette. but i hope to have the new car done in time to DRIVE it to crusin oc in the spring

 

Well I have $21000 in the car itself when I bought it 4 years ago and somewhere north or $17000 in upgrades.

 

lost count.

 

Bought mine for $12,500, Engine work, Wheels, Suspension, Paint, labor, ect...Now have just over $20,000 in it. Im going to have it aprasied in January and then Ill unsure it for the vaule..Good thing I have no Kids!! Hope my g/f doesn see this eather..lol

 

Don't want to Know.....

 

My wife is always happy to bring up the total expenses for my car from when we started using quicken until present. I bought it new in 98 & prolly have over $30k in mods that she knows about.

 

Paid 26,300ish after tax for the car and have around $8000 in mods.

 

I paid 24K for the car after taxes, and have about 4-5k in mods. Mines not too bad.

 

About 55 grand last time I added it all up. In the beginning, I did get hosed by going to a shop that I never should have... ended up eating about 2 grand there, that and I used to have all the work done, in the beginning, which the labor adds up fast.

If i had done everything on my own, that I can currently do with confidence, and had I not made the mistake of going to the first shop I went to, I'd probably have saved about 6 to 7 grand off that total.


Seems like alot.. but when you buy the car new with 16 miles on it and may 26 for it, that's a big chunk of $ right off the bat.

 

2-3 k...Used performance parts are where its at

 

About 10k 85% of the stuff in my car was bought used including the motor,trans, converter,rear........

 

If you can find what you're looking for with used parts, that can save you a TON of $. Guys like me sell parts that might be a season old, and are generally in very good shape. I know I don't sell ANYTHING if it's not in good working order, good enough so I would put it back on my car.

I"ve bought some stuff used over the years, and it never served me badly, when you can, it's a good way to save some $

 

a **** load lol.

 

I'm with ya'll, far too much money and not enough out of it. I've had to pay to play and to keep the monte as a daily driver. I know that I've paid alot in performanc,e and many are things that are "used" realy have lower miles and all. if I had to guess, the price of the car itself was about 6k, and the rest of the stuff for it was about 15-18k, and I still need to redo the suspension again, as well as the pain t again and some better tires.

 

I'm at about $20k total for my Trans-am cost and 427 build.

My Camaro is over $30k and is just a rolling chassis.

 

bought my car new for $29k
I don't even want to think about all the $$$$$ over the years.

 

So your wife can't add 10k and 11k?




Paid $8200 IIRC for the car and bought my rims/tires for $1100.. Have some odds and ends for around $150 I'm sure..
Once I change the current setup I'm looking at around $9k...... O boy.......
