Felix Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 i agree. if you were to pay the extra upfront for te27/37 and keep it standard, you would get way more resale. this compared to, if you were to buy a run of the mill corolla and spend the same amount all up with mods.

demuire Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 rob: don't ever ask me to add up how much I've spent on mine. It's a rather ridiculous figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolla__Boy Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 I don't consider any money spent on my car a waste. It is my hobby, some people collect 10's of thousands of dollars worth of..say umm swords for example...now to me...that is a waste of money, and to that person, my car is a waste of money, and that is cool and that is the way it will always be, but I enjoy my car every single day plus it gets me where I need to be, so in no way do I consider it a waste of money...waste of time YES (stupid weak corolla diffs) But KE30 parts are so cheap they are almost free...Besides, if I took my stereo out...the whole car owes me under 2 grand, and that is with 17 inch wheels, exhaust 5K 5speed etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demuire Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 Yes, but if you spent $10K on swords, chances are if you ever needed/wanted to you'd be able to sell them for at least the same amount (and possibly more!) Try doing that with a car :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROLLN'03 Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 (edited) How about the seca sx that was in fast fours and NZPC...... Blue paint, Gold mags, 4agze - turbo - BIG intercooler He has spent 45k + on that thing........ GEEZ The only car you can get more than your penny's worth, is rare or a hot rod, that has been built up....... No Ricers OR Street Machines will ever get back what they put in....

ancullen Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 Yes, but if you spent $10K on swords, chances are if you ever needed/wanted to you'd be able to sell them for at least the same amount (and possibly more!) Try doing that with a car :D I bought my car for $1,500 and once it's running I bet I could sell it for about $4,000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
