    Around $300 so far to fix CEL issue. About $50 for replacement bulbs (PRNDL light, radio LCD light, and trunk light) and cosmetic parts. About to spend some more to get HUD added to my car. Still need to repair paint in a few spots, a good washing and waxing to last me the rest of the year, and hood decal if I go for it.

    Edit forgot to mention I've had this car for about 3 weeks.

    too much.
    Jenny, The '99 Silvermist GTP. With the mod's that matter.
    I would rather lose by a mile because I built my own car, than lose by an inch, because someone else built it for me. Your car is your story, so don't let someone else write the book.

    More than anyone ever should. Probably enough total to have paid for a g8 or a gto or even a vette in cash by now.

    Anyone who likes to modify a car, likes to tinker. Tinkering costs money too.

    About $500 in almost a year of owning. That's doing any maintenance I could possibly do. Of course there are things I missed like touch up paint and other little things like replacing light bulbs.

    2006 Grand Prix GT S/C 109k - Modded Transgo Shift Kit, Gutted Airbox, Dash Cam, and Inlays. Retros soon to come.
    2002 Grand Prix GT N/A 127k - Same as 06 Plus: Trans Cooler, DIY Aux Input, LED lighting, Suspension Upgrades, Tint, Retrofits.
    Sold.

    ^^^I have that on an Excel spreadsheet at my laptop at home, but without prices. I wish I would've kept up with prices!

    Outside of what I bought my car for, I'd say I have less than $1800 into it. Most expensive thing I've done has been tires in Spring of last year.

    Nearly $1200-$1800 in 2 years in bad parts, only 1 mod. My car HAS to be a lemon. Unless struts, wheel bearings, LIM gasket, tie rod ends, HUD, radiator hoses, valve cover gaskets, snout seal, A/C condensor & oil pan gasket with a side of tensioners, belts, and pulleys are normal replacements on these cars at 75k! Smells like odo fraud.

    What year is the car? Because I did a lot of that well under 100K.

    Edit: Looks like a 2000. Which definitely explains the gasket issues, bearing issues, strut issues, hose issues, the hud is just a turd etc.

    You have to remember, it was 12 years old then, going on 14 now.

    Did you do the work yourself or pay someone. A good portions of those parts go before 100k but are rather simple and inexpensive fixes.

    I haven't bothered pricing everything just quickly crunching number in my head. Oh and coupon codes are your friend! The good thing is most of that is considered maintenance on our cars so since you got a good portion of it out of the way you shouldn't have to change then for awhile if at all.

    Bought it for $2,000, put another $1,500 or so into it since. About to drop another $500 on a LIM gasket, a pair of control arms, a pulley drop, and sway bars.

    2004 Buick LeSabre 172k - Top Swapped, 3.5 pulley, 1.9 rockers, SLP headers... still slow...
