I just figured that I've spent $42,650 so far on my -Z-.

How much have you spent?

 

well sure, but where did you start?

a base going to 42,6 would be alot but a touring or track to 42,6 would be quick!

fyi - 38+ for the loaded touring (no nav) out the door + at least another $15k in mods!

but i am done, except for, maybe, some 19" lmgt4's....

 

4400ish; I really dont know how much my car was... with all the tax and crap, I cant remember, I guess around 34k. so Im nearing 39k. so far I like to think Im about breaking even with normal resale value for a stock car.

 

I've spent close to 12k in mods and roughly 35.5k when I bought the car. I'd really rather not think about the total, just the final hp numbers. lol

 

With the Z I just bought the car for 29800 OTD and have just started modding it (lots to be done)

But on my RX7 I just sold, I bought it for 17500 with 37k miles and sold it for 23500 with 62k miles with about 14k in mods. Not to bad for being 11 years old and adding 25k miles, selling for about 8k less than invested.

 

DUde, that's lot!, I got my touring loaded for 31,590 with the extneded 6yr 75K warranty...you should go to the dealer cash in hand (I went to the credit union and had them cut me a check for 32K...

I have all the options except DVD...I mean I got the Aero Package, kick plates, trunk mat, the whole 9 yards! You must be in a "high rent" district

I am pretty sure Joe was a very early buyer of this car (if not a pre-order). Like many of us, we had to bend over and pay full MSRP for the priviledge of being the first. Yes you can deal now, but not in 2002.

 

Alang said it.
Bending over and coming up with a smile is what it's all about.

The only way to break even is to just enjoy the car for the whole $8K you'll have lost.

 

mmm hmmm, bending over for MSRP, but who can say theyve had that one of a kind smile for almost 2 years. 2 year anniversary quickly approaching for me in oct!
