I wanted to get you guys input on how I am doing on the investment & value of my car & how much you will think it will be worth in the long run.

I bought my 97 GTP w/ 176K on it for $1500.
The car is loaded (Sunroof, leather, HUD, etc)

So far the work & cost:

New cat $100
25K mile Transmission $100 plus a Xbox 360 (Deal of the century IMO) ($400 if you include labor & fluids.)
New LIM Gaskets & VC Gaskets $250 including Labor & fluids.

Needed:
PS pump (maybe?), tune up, tensioner pulleys, ECT sensor.

Total investements=$750

So as of right I spent $2250 spent on mechanical work & the car.

So what you guys think, did I get a good deal on the car & am I doing a good job on mechanical work prices. LMK
