I'm just wondering how much everyone has put into their protege? Monetarily and physically? What is your protege's value in your opinion?


I'll start off:

Purchase price: ~$900 (got it from an uncle that wasn't using it at all because he and his wife drive trucks)

Upgrading/Customizing (Already done): ~$1000
Repairs Since Purchase: $800
Upgrading/Customizing (Plans within the next 3 months) ~$2000

 

I lost count of how much I invested a while ago..............
for it's value .......... IT'S PRICELESS !!!!!!!

 

I'll have to answer that question after I change my clutch, timing belt, oil seals, vc gasket, do an alignment

 

lol, oh boy...a clutch swap ;-)

 

Let's see. I bought mine new in Jan '90 for $12,395.98. It was totalled in '99 and I got $2700 for it and bought it back for $360. Add $1100 in body work and $350 worth of Earl Scheib paint (ok, about $30 of paint). If we add in the 24 sets or so of tires and 3+ sets of wheels, and the Cobra seat, GC camber plates, Mazdaspeed shocks, coil-overs, sway bars, header, etc. Beats me what it's worth now. I figure with the success it's had in autocrossing, I should be able to get about $2500 for it.

 

Bought the car for $1200 and put about $800 in it. $400 was for clutch and for it to be install. The other $400 was all in BS and this is what I have now Thats it for $2000 everything you see!!!

 

why do you got to steal my 'priceless' idea man........you're not cool
