Who has spent the most on their car?

[EFFalcon]

got your priorities down pat there sunny ;)

[LTDHO]

If you haven't spent double purchase price in mod's then you ain't close to spending alot!!

[dansedgli]

Ive spent lots on every car I have had. _

I think this new EA is the going to be the cheapest out of the lot because all of the expensive bits are hand me downs! :evil_laug

Purchase price of EA Gl $200

Price for Engine Mods, suspension, wheels and tires, sound, other misc RWC stuff, very little change from $25k

that's only 125 x the purchase price. :

I don't even want to think about petrol, oil, filters, rego, insurance... :

Good damn it, I need a drink! :togo:

[EFFalcon]

deffinately not me, i do everything myself and on the cheap, nothing much on my car has cost heaps :P

[EA2BA]

I am in the same boat as EF Falcon, do 99% of work myself, and spend as little as possible. The down side to the tight-**** approach is that takes a long time to get what you want and it seems even longer to install it ....... hehehehe

[Rmyers]

Hmmm, i've spent around the $50,000 on my car, not including purchase price. That is also with the majority of the work done either by myself or with the help of a friend, the only real thing that i've paid someone to do is the gas and supercharger install/tuning...

Good to see people putting there money into there cars. nice work Pyroay thats a nice little sum. :sm_headba

[EASPRINT]

I haven't kept a running tally....but i'm guessing i've spent around 20k on mods to the EA...plus purchase price. Probably another 5-7k to go.

I added it up. It comes to just over $120,000 inc purchase price of $26,000, working my way to $100,000 on mods alone

[evlelf]

I spend near 25k on evlelf#1... then sold it for 4.5 after i had my fun with it.. *sighs* im up to 2700 on EVLELF#2, with about 30k left to go ;)

[DEVL-XR]

god dam i wish i had that sorta money to play with!!! ooohh the things i would do!!

however iv only spent (guessing) around the $1000 mark, not including purchase price or petrol, insurance/rego, services, getting stuff fixed etc!

[STOKEB]

I have spent around $25,000 purcashing the car brand new, with all the mods this is just a ruff guess $20,000 maybe more hard to keep track of everything i havent the cash on

[TATT2]

owned the EF for 8yrs besides service items only spent around a $1000 on mods, after seeing how much Pyroay has spent on his i might have to spend a bit more

[agony]

I spent $60K on one and so far $50K on the other but sorry not E Series.

[eav8]

I think I'm at about 8 1/2 thousand including purchase ($100) and I haven't even started getting the body ready for painting yet.

[CaRtZ]

$1200 on stereo. much more to come!

I'll leave the BA & BF out of this, and just refer to the EL which i've had for 10 days now.

Purchase price = $5750
Wheels & lowering = $2490
Stereo / DVD system / Pod filter / blue visions / Viper Alarm = $4420
Replacement Leather Interior = $610
GPS = $950
AU "V8" badges, BA Fairlane "G" badge & NF clear repeaters = $135
custom plates = $495
exhaust = $500

Total so far in 10 days = $15,350

Funny thing is i've still got a fair bit more to do.. i've set myself a cut off point though, and it's not too far away.. Still have to do paint touch ups, repair front bumper, engine work/changeover, FPV style steering wheel, etc etc etc etc etc.

Depressing, isn't it ?
