[mko]

just moved though, still running jersey tags

[IceDouTGaLanT]

wayyy to much, close to 29K not counting the car, a little more now...no regrets though

heres an old thread same topic..

https://thegalantcenter.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=54209&highlight=spent+total

[RedGalant2k1]

Between the two Galants? Easily $40k.

[seth98esT]

About $10.43.

[MitsKits8g21]

Car: $150
Radiator: $40

Got it two weeks ago...more to come when I get taxes back!!!

[ohgrfreak]

97 uber low milage ES 8,000 Bought in 2003/4

Fun stuff:
Sony HU 200
JL rear speakers 180
Sony front speakers 100
Wheels and tires 600
Muffler+tip 125
K&N filter 40
Strut bar 30

Bleh stuff:
tranny flush+fill 80
belts+install 40
battery 85
Wires, valve gasket, OEM oil cap+labor 110
Brake pads and rotors twice 150

Suprisingly, not as much as I thought, a lot more went into my Honda
9,740

Not to mention NGK wires that died, a magnaflow muffler that was too loud, a second pair of wheels and tires, two other head units before I decided on the sony, oil changes, gas, gas, gas, and gas. 15 MPG FTW!

Fun fact: If you have an alarm system that seems to have been dead for two years, draining your battery so far that even the gauges don't work anymore will magically bring your alarm back to life, I had to scramble to find the damn remotes at 5am the other day before I had the battery replaced.
