how much have you spent on zed since you own it?

they own us all!...i lied iv spent around 10k on my car since iv ownd it(bought it September last year) i payed 5k for it in knowing the engine was gona need to be replaced but was only one i could aford and was willing to slowly save up to get the engine replaced....haha so much for that i think a few weeks later i went and got a loan

 

You mean the Saab 944 right? hehe

 

about $18,000 including purchase of the car in 2004

 

Yep, I got mine for a bargain of $38,000.00 when I bought it in 98.

 

20 grand

Not including the cost of the car and still nothing to show for it

 

I know how you feel, I stopped adding up after the 1st yr

 

If you recon its expensive to keep a 300zx. You would have no hope with a 928 S4.

They are an unbelievably expensive car to rebuild or modify. The engine block cannot be bored due to the internal coatings applied and thinness of the cylinder walls. They are a 1 shot proposition. Once they are dead, you buy a new block.

You would not beleive the price. There is not a lot of parts around and new bits cost the earth.

I would LOVE a 928 S4, but the zed is a far cheaper option.

 

too much.

but it is a passion

at a rough guess over 4 years id say 6 or 7k. have a look in my garage for specs.

 

mates dad has one and had that problem... looked into getting a new block from germany....... you dont even want to know how much

 

Who said that the money was the problem

 

What's wrong with yellow?

 

More than I planned to, less than I could have.

I think mine is one of the less voracious Zeds around. Apart from normal running costs, I've spent about $7K in 5 years, mainly for performance mods (brakes, engine, exhaust, suspension (shocks and adjustable upper suspension arms)), alloy wheels and Caz's seat covers and some paint for a bit of bling, and floor mats and a steering wheel cover for comfort.
Oh! And a Chili brake master cylinder brace... I'm not sure whether that comes under performance or bling. It's certainly not for comfort :biggrin:

 

Rolled up to a Car yard in wangara when I had the 180sx nosing around for a new family car.

In the show room they had a nice looking 928, V8, black, $14K

I started asking questions and said I didn't realise they'd got so cheep

He glanced over at the 180sx, shining in the sun, and.....(dont forget this is the SALES MAN ) he said

"Mate, believe me you're better off with the Nissan"

lol

 

Around $35k, which includes two engine rebuilds.

 

Mine was good value at $29,000 in May 1999. Was looking to buy one in early 1998 and most were $45k+ then. The only ones under $30k in 99 were auto NA's which were around $20k. I thought I got a bargain and there would be NO WAY they could drop in price much more.

 

ive had my z for about a year...since then ive only spent around 6k or 7k.

 

lets see.. umm $1300 + 700 + 550 + 180 =2750 or so so far..

(have about another $7000 to spend till im happy with it LOL. (change happy to when it becomes my dream realisation LOL)

 

Over 30k in engine, suspension, brakes, interior, body, paint, etc.
I just think now what I could have had with that and the initial cost of the Z.

 

Bah - damn the cost....>>>

I have been a zed owner since 1995 and I currently have 6 of them in excellent condition plus a spare engine on a stand. I also have more spares and tools than most Nissan service centres. That equates to total expenditure equivalent to a third world nation debt and an annual expenditure that I cannot even think about without getting a headache. However, I am thinking of buying a another zed for Sunday (I have Monday to Saturday covered)....except the next may be a z3 or 350z.

Yes, I am still happily married (...err....well still married).

Cheers

 

Wow that takes commitment, :zlove: Did you buy a 300 new?
