How much do you spend??

[docile]

Ok I've only had my new car 2 days and already its cost me so much money and its going to cost me so much more.

I thought i'd post a poll to see how much we all spend (or intend on spending). JUst break it down to an average and include car repayments and insurance i guess

I dont think this will look too good!!:bahaha:

[Nizmo]

we talking about general repairs n fuel as well .... i mean when i first got my car it cost me $1.4K insure .... $1K for stamp duty .... $800 in belts n repairs that had to be done ....... they aint cheap. ZX wasnt much different $700 in stamp duty ...... $220 in rego .... $400 in servicing ....

[GTS-t VSPEC]

I spend $100+ in fuel per week. So by the time I add insurance and mods etc, I'd be in the $1000+ per month:D

[Nizmo]

niz gets out her calculator...

$130 a month insurance

$280 a month in fuel

$120 in upkeep ... servicing .... n rego

$200 in paying various car debt off

So around $700 a month .... give or take

oh and thats just one car ..... i currently have two haha

[dan_the_man]

I dont wanna know how much I have spent... it'll only depress me

[ix9]

1200+/month without mods, Ah... Who cares... I can afford it, If I didn't have the car, i'd be out pissing my money away anyway

[yurigtr]

1000+

[angel]

$1000+ Over 100p/w petrol, with insurance, mods (mostly cosmetic), Car wash, polish, wax, interior scent things, the list goes on.

Not forgetting the pit inspection for the regular removal of canaries:) Lifting the car, replacing headlight bulbs and various engine bolt on bits, then replacing it all after the inspection. SOme of it I can do, but most of it I pay for.

Alone in mods with the turbo just going on I'd say around $6000 spent over the course of 18 months. Petrol is around $60/week, insurance is $900/year, rego is $450/year, tyres every 12 months, serviced every 5000km's... it would add up to be a fair bit. *shrug* Its my only hobby and my only toy, I dont smoke at all or drink a great deal (so yes I am boring)

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Yeah, it's my only real hobby, and I don't begrudge my car the money I spend on her:D

Fuel $0 - My both legs does the most of work, I guess I spend upto $70 a week for fuel me up.

Holy fuel-bill, Batman!!!

How far do you drive to get to work/elsewhere each day to get a bill like that ??? :confused:

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Joe, I'd rather have the car than the extra money:p

Exit, I travel a fair distance, but it's more my driving style that causes the fuel bill to be so high:D

Insurance - $75/mth

Tyres - $90/mth

General Maintenaince - $50/mth (5 services per year)

Mods to date - $100/mth

Loan - $700/mth

Licensing - $20/mth

Total - $1300/mth

Hmm - that would pay off a decent morgagte wouldn't it?! hehe..

[Butters]

I'm using the Wolf 3D Ver4. We have it running closed loop, so fuel economy is good off boost, which is about 2% of the time:(

[docile]

Geezus and i thought i had it bad...... All up i plan to budget around $1000 a month but i can see that blowing out.

BTW i dont know heaps about exhaust systems but last night i was offered a full exhaust (2nd hand including the dump pipe) for $800. Its stainless steel and the bloke said it would just bolt in. So is this worth it AND how easy is it to whack on an exhaust??

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Putting an exhaust on is quiet easy, best with a hoist:D $800 for a full stainless exhaust is good, what is the muffler? Is it 3"?
