Keeping a spending list?

[StragglaSteve]

Does anyone keep a list of what they have bought and how much they have spent on their Zeds?

generally i dont bother as i dont plan on selling it on so wont have a need for old receipts etc...

but today i am bored at work so decided to type down a quick list and rough prices of whats gone into my machine over the 4 years of owning it...

So for those of you that are interested, here is a loose rundown of whats gone in! (not including small fixes, services, mots etc)


JL Audio Sub, speakers and Cobalt Amp = ?600
Sony Xplod Headunit = ?80
CorbeauBucket seats, Sabelt Harnesses and Custom subframes = ?170
Custom Boot net = ?60
Small bit of Carpet (dont ask) = ?20
52mm Throttle Bodie = ?140

R45 headlamps = ?60
Powerflow exhaust = ?300

Grand total of ?3265!!


How much of that would i have changed today?

Powerflow exhaust = ?300

and got myself one of them VVC conversions from George!


So guys, fancy making me feel a bit better about my rediculas spending by sharing yours? :)

[stamford]

Somewhere I have a spreadsheet of the total expenditure, it might even have the original ticket price. I also have a folder full of receipts including the bill of sale from SMC. Not as bad as some on here who have done alot of work, but enough when you add it all up!

[p_b82]

well i did the maths on mine a year or so back, and it was up to 6k, although a big chunk of that was labour... that however was only from the past 2 years of mods....

i have written off the previous 4 years worth of costs :)

[Phate]

When I had mine I started to do it but it scared me.

Off the top of my head.

?2500 When I bought the car
?600 the first time it was repaired when it was stole
?200 induction
?1300 full exhaust
?300 brake upgrade
?160 head unit
?500 plenum and vis motors
?600 in tyres in the time of ownership
?500 to have it repaired from being bodged the first time from when it was stolen

We won't talk about fuel :o

Schweet....

[mattie007]

?300 on the bmc
??? on the springs
?70 carbon catch tank
and shed loads on whats being done at the mo lol :)

[Jay-ZS+]

I'm not even going to consider it. Not had the 180 long but spent plenty on it already, and there lots still to be done! Best not add it up.

[StragglaSteve]

haha! it quickly becomes scary numbers when we add it all up!

but then i guess thats why our cars are amazing machines! :punk:

[stamford]

Including ZS purchase price and what I have spent it is around ?10800. That includes everything including a sump washer and resistor!

[p_b82]

oh if i add everything up, then i suspect i would be looking at 20K over the past 6.5 years.

Cost me 11K as i bought it when it was only 9months old as an ex demo; and it had the + pack, full body kit, 17's and monaco's. One advantage of getting an ex demo i suppose. even got a full tank of fuel 12months tax and set of mats thrown in.

prior to me molesting it it hardly cost me a penny though, just service items and a set of front fogs...

i dont keep a list for the zed after the wife found the growing folder for the kit car, you try and justify to my wife 2 engine changes 1 of which cost me over 2.5k to build , 3 different carb set-ups ,4 wheels changes, new headlights just because they were smaller,seats ect ect ect ontop of the original build cost :chop:

[daytona365]

Well I have had mine since Feb 2010, current costs: ?566.94 petrol, ?12 Trophy Yellow Spray/Touch-up kit, ?7 MG badges, ?40 Rally Mudflaps, ?10 new stereo, ?14.25 Oil & Air Filter: TOTAL ?650.09 Most of the petrol is because my daughter lives a tank full away, and I see her once a month. If you wondering about buying it? My mum (love her) bought it for me as a birthday present @ ?2000, serviced, mot'd and 8months tax.

[Maxxed_Ross]

I've got a folder for each car I own that contains all the records form purchase to present day... some of them are quite scary!

Actually the Defender is the worst as it's in at the specialists every few months getting some major broken component fixed or new toys added!

[p_b82]

For a seperate reason to this thread i was asked for the spec list for my car, so decided to track back through bank accounts and recipets to find all the bits i have added to the car since i started to mod it in Sept 07.....

Well i discovered i spent more than i thought, and that it is in total more than i bought the car for back in 2004!

oops!
