Bought for $1000 cash
Spent over $1500 including paint within 3 months. wow.
$500 paint
$200 worth of incorrect window regulators
$200 brake job
$100 used CD player and cheap speakers
$170 getting new title and paying taxes
$100 worth of misc oem items such as inner door handles and a/c knobs etc
$100 refurb alternator
$50 New battery within 2 days of owning car
$40 Sylvania super something bulbs
$50+ ebay corner and bumper lights
$50+ cleaning supplies and maintenance items like freon etc
$25 oil chance
$70 sparkplugs and wires
$35 junkyard power steering
I cant help but feel somewhat ripped off for this daily driver but im enjoying seeing something crappy turn into something beautiful to me. I like it but im not enjoying the price tag. I sometimes think that i should have just waited and purchased a car that was $2500 or but then again who knows what kind of problems those had too.
A lot of things still needing to be done immediately like getting new motor and regulator for the two door, and tint. (hot as hell)
O well what you guys got?
