An ST Suspensions XT coilover set with the camber plate used for 900$ CAD. 720 form wheels (15.5 lbs each) for 600$ CAD used but perfect condition. Of course you can spend a lot of money, but this platform is not costly to buy and to run. It all depends on you!
That's because you ignored the first sentence of what you quoted.

My Advans, with center caps were $2800. $1000 for tires. Throw in the ceramic coating on the wheels and you're at $4k for new wheels and tires.

Sure you can get deals on used, OK parts. But I'm guessing someone who was driving a $60k+ Audi isn't out buying used a twin and used rep parts.
