Just wondering what everyone has thrown at the coop money wise?
Major engine mods, transplants, styling???
I'm thinking of fabricating a brand new dash btw!

Erm,i dont really want to say.
But mine has cost a bit.
Im sure though down the years Nigels is most.

followed by Proccy and his re-pair bills!! lol

Bet JohnS had a rather large bill at the end of it all!

I'd go JohnS too.

oh yeah forgot proccy,
yeah hes spent more than me.

but seriously, it must be between Nigel and JohnS

But dont forget the other like Maveric and the other nutters in the world that have spent small fortunes on there coupes!!

Do I include the 'buy it now' price, back in 1995? In which case, I'm well into thirty k...

I looked at JohnS web page about his, costs to date almost £40k We have a winner I suspect?

It depends what expenditure you want to measure.

I have a log of all my major expenditure, EXCLUDING fuel, insurance, tax and tyres (working on the safe assumption that I'd have had to buy these no matter what I drove)

Since 11/09/93, I've spend £30,808 EDIT - oops, typo - 11/09/2003

This includes seventeen services at Motormech, 10 pairs of front discs and 12 pairs of front pads, two engine rebuilds and £2,566 on mapping

As soon as you include fuel, oil, tyres, insurance and tax, the numbers start to get very daunting - I reckon I'm looking at over £75,000 over the last 6.5 years

You've had a Coupe since before it was released?

hmm i see i'm mentioned - well its only £11.5k in 13 months, and she's in at motormech tomorrow and at fleas on 12th june....call it £12k then

Only a few quid but it's looking fab!

Jesus Nigel,i hope your wife doesn't have access to this forum.
That's lots of shoes shes been deprived of down the years.

Steve,your not leaving much room for error with Spa.
Nearly as little as me.
Good luck on the rollers this time.
My advice.Switch your phone off.
No news is good news

I think the original sale invoice was a good percentage of that bill

dammit - 2003, not 1993 - been a long day

I wish - I only paid £5k for the car, and its not included in the £30k

Ha I got to do this for a giggle...

Not including the cars purcahse...

I think it's around £2400 in 18 months!

It really does help when you do your own work on the car!!

Hey Nige, you could almost afford to buy my coupe TWICE from what you've spent on mapping alone

I think John's (TipoBoy) expenditure may well be approaching some of the figures mentioned on this thread

Here's mine
Purchase Price:.............£6,100
Maintenance:................£8,099
Mods:............................£5,822
Running costs:..............£4,482
Fuel @ £1.00 per litre:..£14,626
Total:............................£39,130

Purchase date:.......................15 July 2004
Years owned:..........................5.9
Days owned:...........................2142.0
Cost per day:..........................£18.27
Miles per year:........................12610
Cost per 4 week:....................£511.51
Cost per mile (without mods):.£0.45
Cost per mile (with mods):......£0.53

Can't compete with some of the figures thrown up in this thread but after some quick adding up if I'd have saved everything I've spent on the Coupe since I bought it, I'd nearly have enough for a real Integrale - but what would be the fun in that?

£42,000 as of the end of last year. Doesn't include any shipping costs or original price of car.

John

In 3 and a half years (Not including fuel or insurance), and coming up to 40,000 miles, I have spent a frankly pathetic £2,957.21.

I thought there'd be an eye watering figure from John

Not including fuel, insurance or the price of the car i have spent.....

.......£145.

But i have only had her for 2 months

hmmm, here mine so far....

Car cost a bit more than £4k,

total bills in the last 2.5 years ( not all needed, but i like to know things are done ) I rekon in the region of £5k,

next job is the clutch, then flea map here I come.....

Hmm i spent a fair bit in the past 6,5 years I've had this coupe. Purchase was around 17k euro (which was good value at the time!). Since then I probably spent around 12k euro on maintenance and upgrades (not including fuel, insurance, etc.). It needs a bit of work again, so will become more soon!

cost of car £500
new thermostat £70
FC Tuning stage 1 16vt chip £175
FMIC £70
Oil filter,oil and couple of other service parts £30
and i just bought some 17"wheels for £130
sooo...
£975 so far all in,not bad for a nice 16vt with leather and 93k on the clock with full history etc..

Bought mine a year ago for £3k

Have spent approaching £2.5k in a year on her, although half of this was on an engine rebuild , so all in all not three bad!

Bloody hell, what some peeps have spent, tuning the Coupe is not for me or worth it in ££££'s or fragility IMO.

June 2005 bought the Coupe for £4100. 28,000m driven

Since:

Mechanics: Clutch, Belts, total new front suspension, dump valve, strut brace and basic service every year.

Bling: alloy rings, wheel refurb, new sun visors, gear knob, plus rad grill

3 sets of front tyres and 1 set of rears

Oh, will getting roof resprayed as going fractal white in basecoat so another £250/300 at end of this month and need new rear radius arm bearings (?) at next service.

For a a fast good looking car budget motoring!
