I paid $18,500.00 and with the loan interest and extended warranty it came to approximately $25K
For the quick tally of repairs that I've kept track off and a few mods, another $10K. There's additional mods and maintenance that I didn't keep track off, and other body work repairs that I have invoices for, but really don't want to add it up.
I say in total repairs and mods and maintenance, I've spent over $12K
Looking back on how much I spent on additional stuff.........like a slap in the face. I could have spent that $12K on other things....LOL Ah well, it's the price we pay to have fun.
