It's always too much if it's not spent on her! 
Anyway:
I bought mine in October '06 with 40+ k miles, a one owner car. Bone stock when I got it. My mods so far:
!CAGS $30 (includes shipping)
What can I say? I like it as it is.
But..... if it's any consolation, I plan on getting new tires next spring.....
