How much $ do you have into your ride?

[hammsaveo]

I bought my Aveo in 2007 with 11,000mi for 8,400 and added cc and ac (which I don't use) for 1000. Ialso bought 80k mi touring tires for 250 bucks. K&n for $50, It now has 66,000 and nothing but oil changes every 9,000mi and gas. Total= $9700 ..I knewnothing about Aveo's and probably could have gotten a new one for close to that, but not with ac and cc. Happy with it too.

When I bought my Aveo, it started at around $15,000 for it being a 1LT, then bumped up nearly $300 for the "factory-installed" graphics, and some more money for the extended warrenty to make it total out to around $17,000. The only thing that I have bought were a set of 5 mats for $120 (which were cheaper than GM's set of 4 of $120). I also ordered a set of splash gaurds, but I ordered for the sedan set instead of the hatchback set, so that order was returned.

Ok let's see

2008 Aveo5 SV 6500 + old car trade in valued at 300 so $6,800
Engine Ground kit - Had laying around so free
Removed fender resonator- Free
195/60/14 Uniroyal Tiger Paw tires - $500
Third Light Overlay - $10
Detailed the car - $140 (never do that at Simoniz in Dubuque, IA again, a lot of minor damage done to my vehicle.)
Oil & filter Changes, Rotations & Balance, And Gas I don't really keep track of. I know I changed a headlight bulb that was like $10 but again that's not something I worry about.

So the total so far is roughly. . . $7,450 This is an estimate Give or Take $100

Future plans are 2.0L engine, Suspension upgrades And Rims. I Also want to do a full LED conversion and lose the badges. Debating Projector Headlight's with HID kit, If I do it I will re-route driving lights, to a decent set of Fog/Driving Lights.

18,300 for the car brand new back in 2004, and close to $15 000 in mods

[MatchboxKiller]

Here's one you guys might find funny; I've spent next to nothing modding my car, just a K&N air filter, low rolling resistance tires and a scan guage e, but you'll laugh when you read how much I bought it for here in Thailand. I've got a base model 2009 Aveo sedan, 1.4l, and it cost, new from the Chevrolet dealership, 500,000 Thai baht which is over US$16,200 - for a base model with no air bags or even ABS! In you US you guys could buy a really nice Sonic with 10 standard air bags for that.
