I got my miata for $1100.
It was working great but now it eats oil for breakfast lunch and dinner. It eats oil so bad that oil splutters out of the exhaust. Still drives decently, but it just needs to be topped off once a week or so.

I have a brand new GT-R and a 2014 650i, hold on let me get some pics...

Nice. I'm actually going to go pick up a GT-R this saturday.


But for right now, I drive a '95 Saturn SW2 that's probably probably worth $1500 KBB, but it's sitting on the driveway with a half-broken engine cradle right now.

Motorcycle is a 1979 Kawasaki KZ650 that cost me $900 last summer.

How many miles are on that thing? Miatas usually last forever. My other car is a 95 miata that I paid $2k for because the top was shot.

141k for a 91 miata.
My last miata was a 95 one that I got for $2k because the top was shot. Turned out the engine had horrible leaks that couldn't be fixed without an engine swap.
 
I guess most wont consider this the technical cost of the vehicle, but it was of no use to me without it:

2011 Toyota Sienna Limited - $46,235
Braun XT Rampvan Conversion - $21,900
EMC L series Hand controls - $29,500

= Nearly $100,000 for a fucking Toyota minivan 🙁
Pics? Sounds like quite the vehicle now.
 
Part of the deal is that the car is being sold as nearly perfect to you. So, if you have to fix it or something then that doesn't count. 😛


That leaves me out, the deuce was 500 and was completely gone through although it was in nice shape as it had't been on the road since 1982.

The other was an engine bay fire that burnt the nose off for the most part.

Come to think of it the 75 deuce isn't my cheapest car, I acquired a 1969 1600 ( looks like a 2002 ) a while back for free and a couple of weeks ago the lady next door gave me her 1960 Jaguar MKIX that's been sitting under a car cover in her backyard since 1974, I guess it paid off asking about it for the last 5 years. I wonder if she'll give me the Edsel that's sitting right next to it 🙂 .
 
Plenty of cheap/free over the years but they all needed work. The cheapest was a 76 F100 that the owner couldn't get the electrical to work. No ignition-nothing anywhere. Sat for a while and the guy loaded up the bed with house garbage (it had a shell). I got it free... replaced a fusible link and fired it up. Drove it straight to the dump and got rid of the garbage. The carb (Holley) wouldn't run right no matter what I tried. Put a junk yard cab in for $50 and drove that truck a couple of years. The 390 was a guzzler tho and when the radiator went bad it was $400 to replace. I gave the truck away too.

Just about everything I own these days gets ~20mpg. Got a 1986 CRX for $350 a couple of months ago from a family friend. Great shape. Paint is flat and a few scratches. Runs great and is clean. Not riced either. 100% stock and 40mog.
