Angry How much did you spend?

Bought my evo in March, and have been rallying for about 4 months. Realized that I have spent a lot just in repairs and vehicle maintanence. Rally is fun, but it just starts adding up.

Purchace Price (out the Door)? $36,000
Mods (Includes Off- Road Tires, gauges, suspension)? $3,000
Repairs? $6000 (Clutch, Intercooler, Body Work)
Insurance? $2500

Just wondering how much evo owners have spent on their car.

Actually.. out of door price is really not accurate when
judging if someone got a good deal or not...

Out of door price includes tax & lic fees that are different from
state to state.. Also, factory options could make price difference
of $1200...

So, it's best to post price you pay before tax and state the
options included in the car..

(Though... 36k out of door is still very very high regardless..
)

I was out the door for 32,400 with every option except the sunroof and 6disk changer. And I have spent about 1200 in mods so far but getting ready to drop another 1000 within the next month or two.
