Somewhere in the ballpark of $5279.59. That includes 2 sets of tires, 1 replacement tranny (the other one was covered), 105k service, 1 headlight, drain plug fix (helicoil) and 16 oil changes.
Guess I can't complain too much after 7 years and 107k miles. She's rock solid now (with a lifetime warranty on the tranny) and good to go for at least another 100k.

The guy said how much in the last MONTH?
He said in the last MONTH...not 10 years... If it was the last 10years w/payements gas and everything I think it would be $50,000+.
June of 2000 $5000 down and $500+ month 60 months....
I dont even wanna think about how much i spent since I bought her but in th last MONTH i spent $3500, I got kinda happy when I seen some of your posts but then realized it was how much most of you guys spent since you bought the car!

About $10,000. It cost me about $3500 just to get the car to run when I got it in 2007 because it sat for over a year.
Two months ago I dropped $760 on the crankshaft pulley and belts. Luckily I was able to do that myself.

Yeah, i don't really care so much about normal wear and tear costs lol I was curious how much you guys drop to make your cars the way they are.
I don't speculate i'll be spending much more on mods. last thing I want/need is a new head unit and MAYBE subs and amp

See this is why I'm scared to get a job. There is absolutely no chance of me saving a single cent of it it'll all go straight to my car.
