how much money have u put in ur car? i bet most of us have put in more than the cost of the car. post away

[Lsnaple]

well i spent about $2500 on maintanence on my last 240.

i bought another, about $250 in maintanance and $600 for exhaust and cd player (more to come very soon though . ).

[jrc90240sx]

Lets say i have spent to much on the car, and i am still waiting for my damn engine.

[Anand]

toooo much to add up....

[LincolnRacer]

240's are unreliable, flame me. :flamer LincolnRacerAll money spent is worth it

[Anand]

I haven't spent money on problems.. I think 240's are very reliable... the money I spent was for upkeep since my car has over 100k miles on it. with that many miles.. you are gonna have to spend money. and other was for my clutch... but that was due to my driving when I first got it! other than that... it was just regular tune ups and stuff.. nothing major at all....cept all the stuff I did...

[Mike09]

Weel i bought my car for $3500 Canadian. Needed some work but i've probubly spent another 4G's since July 11.

[nissanrcer240]

240's are unreliable,

i think thats kind of an ignorant statement, maybe your 240 is unreliable b/c your not takin care of it right or what ever, i've had my 240 for a year and only had one problem(minor) and mine has 130,000 miles on it, so i think they are pretty reliable, thats just my opinion

[C-Kwik]

Wow...I never really thought about it much, but after adding it all up, I've spent over $7000 in aftermarket parts. No wonder I'm in so much debt. I'll be spending another $500 soon too...If this car wasn't as reliable as it is, I'd be flat broke.

[574-240sx]

I paid $1400 and haven't had any problems yet. It has 175K miles on it. I just bought a stock LSD out of an 180 sx for $170 shipped. So, I have $1570 invested including purchase price.

[Bbill528]

probably about 1100-1400 w/ repairs and a clutch and some upgrades in the past 4 months...

[bodyman240]

bought my car for 900 and have spent another three grand for rims, taillights, brakes, and suspension. Not to mention the 1000 down payment on the SR. so a good 4 G's and I'm just getting started. It makes me happy and sad all at the same time. Ain't love grand.

[s0ldats]

1800 for car400 for clutch80 for hoses, plugs, oil filter, fuel filter, and other tune up items.

and i'm not even done fixing the mechanical problems....still gotta fix the gas shocks for the hatch, fix the gay foam spoiler and rust underneath it, dents, scratches... it will all add up...

[bruinbear714]

I spent

$220 for new fans$85 for a new pulley$320 for new header$125 for used intake$40 for new K&N filter$150 for new tint$300 for new headunit.$40 for NGK Platinum plugs.$35 for NGK wires.

$1315 total. And I only had my car since beginning of October.

[syka24et]

I brought my car for 200$ with a blown engine and broken hatch glass ( Good body though). So far 150 on a hatch glass 185 for a 5sp and 75 for clutch and brake pedals and lines for 5spd conversion. 300 for a valve job, hot tank and overbore on the block. 760$ not bad but there is so much left to do.

[Rifter240]

wow...i think i got screwed..I paid close to 3K for my 90 fastback...and then about a month the transmission **** out on me...still don't have the money to fix it

[b240]

Theres always something to spend money on and something to fix etc. Keeps you on your toes. I just recently started keeping logs of my maintence time and costs as well as mods time and cost. Dont have a total yet...

[I 8 v8]

Hey buud,where did you get Greddy VSpl for that price?

[BuudWeizErr]

hehehe....

procrastinate, and ye shall recieve sought after product during discount season. So in other words, jspec.com was having a christmas sale. I would have gotten it for $690, but it was my finals week, and I couldn't drive to his store to pick it up, and he wouldn't hold it for me.

[s14sr20det]

I paid a little under 10K for my 96 240SX SE w/15K miles on it.So far I put about 2-3 grand into it (car audio, performance parts and other stuff like clear side markers and **** like that)I think I got a great deal on my car!

[blink0r]

My car was $6,000.

Then i got the timing chain job done for $80 and a case of beer (family friend), and my brake pads changed for $50.

I bought a few things like pedals, cd players, etc... but my car only has about $1500 total invested.

[skydragoness]

Nick.

[C-Kwik]

Well, I must be doing something wrong. You guys are including your car in the cost? OK...Add another $20K to mine. It's too bad I didn't keep the S13 and just modify that instead. I'd probably be out of debt by now if I did. =P

[blackbeauty240]

i bought my car with the engine blown and so far i have put about $3,500 in it and plan on putting another $10,000 in it before i am done with it.
