how about this : cars are not a good investment!! there you happy haha
Our car's are considered luxury, not cheap plastic toys like civics and integra's. So expect to pay about 1 to 2 times more then parts you'd see for a civic. -------------------- Group buy to replicate Narrow E series transaxle parts

Bought the car sight unseen in 2005 for $7500 with 113K miles. Now has 150K miles and LOTS of goodies. I've got a tracking document saved with nearly every penny put into it. Upwards of $25K at this point, but that includes repairs and the like. Is it worth it? By all means.

i spent over 40,000 dollars, including like bolt on maintenance (Distributer, etc.), not including basic coolant, oil change. I gained a little back by selling some stuff. I've changed many things in my celica multiple times even though I had it, (like to test parts).

Lets see, bout her for $5k back in 06. Spent roughly $3k on mods and at least $2k on maintenance. Wound up selling for $2k last year.
Already have $3k into the new car as well...As said before on this site, "cars are the biggest waste of money", but they are soo much fun! -------------------- "A true car enthusiast can see the potential in any car"

$13k on the car (back in 2005)
$4k on the Beams swap $5k on wheels, coilovers, projectors and all the other bits A few more grand to go on new paint and front seats. Still cheaper than buying a comparable new car through.

cars are not an investment really in regards to fixing it up, only in terms of transportation.
for us, they are an impractical enjoyment. -------------------- 94 Celica GT
