How much money have you spent on your Monte?
 

OK guys... lets hear the damage! Lets break it down into a few things...


1) Necessary Work (Things that went bad and you replaced)
2) Performance/Aftermarket Work (The things like the rims, Radar Detectors, CAI, and the real nice things you hide from your wife)
3) Maintenance and Care Care (tire shine, soaps, waxes... the nickels and dimes)


Ill total mine up and post it after I get done crying.

wow, i feel poor now... lol. lets see, $9500 for the car in March 2007. $225 for a compressor going bad in May, but I put it in myself, $500 in the exhuast system, maybe $50 in wax, soap, tire shine and hte such. so, oh, $10,500 if i'm very liberal with the total?

RE: How much money have you spent on your Monte?
 

I would say just over $600 in aftermarket stuff that I've bought, gonna spend about 1.2k in the spring for new wheels and tires for the summer. About $50 for stuff not covered by warrenty which is up now :( And a couple hundred in washes.

if it makes you guys feel better, i'm planning on getting a CAI from K&N (for looks as well as power, sense i go to car shows a bit) and getting the comptuter retuned for $250 in Durham soon.

Let's see... Alittle over $400.00 for Dynamax cat back exhaust, K&N CAI approx $240.00 and UBend delete approx $90.00 installed. Then graphics - approx $450.00 installed, so about $1200.00

I really don't think I want to figure out how much I have spent on all 3 of my Montes. If I did I would think at least one of them should have a bathroom and kitchen. Had the 96 Z34 for 7 years, 2000 LS for 6 and the 06SS for 2
