$7,000 in May of 2003, with ~71,000 miles. Since then I've probably spent $5,000 in repairs, and about $7,000 in upgrades.

Why in the hell do I do this? This is an evil thread. This is an evil truck.

$5700 with a salvage title. Its not for sale, nor will it be in the future, so the reconstructed title doesnt matter to me. Havent spent a whole lot on it, other than an oil change, plugs, etc.

I bought my SY in 12/97 for $18K. It had around 26K miles on it. I have receipts for over $27K in upgrades and repairs. The current mileage is 41K. I will be selling the SY soon.
On the other (happy) end of my vehicle buying experience, I bought a much modified Buick GN for $12k with 134k miles on it about a year ago. I have spent less than $500 on Buick repairs/upgrades since I have owned it.

I paid $14.5k for my first one six years ago with 53k miles on it totally stock. I've put about $20k into modifying/replacing stock parts (and then replacing those parts for other parts) and only 6k miles. Now I'm selling it for the same price I originally paid for it :roll:

Don't even want to talk about what I paid for the Stokes Syclone or what I put into it last year, still makes me :barf: to think about it. Maybe someday I'll be lucky enough to sell it for half of what I have in it too :banghead:

I need a hobby that consumes cash at a slower rate, like maybe owning my own private jet.........

I paid $16,500.00 in January 2003 for my Sy with 9000 miles. I haven't put much in it otherwise. I'd do it all over again..

Re: what did u guy pay for your trucks?

im starting to wish i had looked around more for a sy, i bought mine 4 years ago with 49k on it for 11,500, the motor went a week later. 3,300 for rebuild sawpping, fuel pump intercooler pump etc. then the turbo bearings went, bought a new mitsu tdo6 17c 12cm and rebuilt my stocker with the parts.motor is tapping again with 80k on the truck. body is perfect no rust or scratches straight as an arrow, previous owner had some red tweed layed on the dash speaker vents and the bottoms of the doors.also lowered with blocks and the bed cover gone. i may go broke but ill never sell it

I was in Paris last week , I never would've expected to see a syty there. It seemed that 90% of the vehicles there were half the size of a mini cooper. :D I think my next visit will be to Marseille, but Paris was a great city to see.
