Muffleman Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 I've done it before, and so this time bought a car that was pretty much done. That said, the Trial Supra will have cost me a fair chunk by the end of the year. The problem is if you spend it and dont accept that you are spending it on YOU. If you spend £10k on a good setup, you are spending £10k on you and you will not get it back at resale. I have an MR2 turbo that has been a little project car for the last 6 years. I've spent circa £10k on it plus the cost of the car, it's probably worth £5kish. So I can't bring myself to sell it. Still do it again tho, I also don't drink\go out much\have lairy holidays etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conrad Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 TBH I've owned scores of cars over the years and never modded one of them. Think I may have bought some 17's for a GT4 I had once, and that was totally out of character. All this was down to my old mans influence, he was a car trader and me 'wasting' money on mods that I'd never get back when I resold was something he drilled into me. All that said tho, I bought my Sup and have spent approx £700 going BPU. I know I wont get half that back when I sell but for for the first time ever I don't care! Doubt I'd ever pay for a single though! I'd do as Clarkey says and get one done already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miko_supra Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Couldn't say that i would want to buy a car already fully modified. It's like buying an airfix kit already made. doing it all yourself is all the fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Class One Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 I wish I'd have known about this place before buying my supe. I would have been better informed and bought one with proven covenance. The flip side is saying I wish I'd never found out about this place.The slippery slope is an expensive thing to get on and damned hard to get off from.
