how much have you spent on your car so far - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

jarviz · 07-17-2012, 11:17 PM

I got my car a little more than a month ago and have over 2000 miles so far. I got my windows tinted for about $200, ordered a GT86 and Toyota badge for about $120 (can't remember) and about to order a shark fin antenna for $90.

I'm about to do an opticoat and clear bra for about 1500. So looks like this car is coming about to about $2000 on top of what i paid for the car.

I'm also interested in getting a new shifter and some exhaust pipe upgrades but those can wait. Gah I didn't think this would become an addiction

How much have you spent on your car so far and on what??

It's a really bad idea to ask yourself that, even worse would be trying to answer it by breaking down each and every purchase

$6100, owned the car 24 hours now.

It's best not to think about or ask these things...especially if your wife or girlfriend ever sees your response to this thread

Nothing. In fact, Subaru gave me money to take the car off of their hands. I don't know what you guys are all doing paying MSRP.

If I spend $30K on a BRZ Limited, it's probably going to be another $10K in parts. Of course, seeing its value drop to $16K after a few years will just make me sad.

Around $10,000 in suspesion + exterior + wheels & tires+ interior + power mods , and i need another 15k for it to be perfect just as i want it.
