How much did you pay for your DSM?

[just_passed_you]

i paid $300 for my 93 eclipse with a 2.0l rebuilt with performance pistons good paint and body new tires but with a blown tranny.... cost me $200 to get that fixed

 

[serpentbane]

I haven't even bought mine yet. I like looked at prices in the US, but I live in the shittiest country in the world when it comes to cars.

If the specs on a eclipse are 1400kg, 1997ccm, 109kw and a 97 or something like that, when the original price is about 6000 USD the price in norway will be about 23720 USD, without freight.

Now, if I buy an eclipse with 400hp at the cost of 11000 USD, the total price will be 40958 USD, without freight here.

Let me describe my current feelings...
WTF

But, I'm working and saving, untill then, I'll drive my SAAB proudly...

[DV8tion]

Bought my 91 TSI AWD from a wrecking yard for $500 complete. It wouldn't run because they had put a 2G gasket set in it. 4 huge vacuum leaks. Put $5000 in mods in it, ran 11s, sold it for $5000 before it broke. Kind of an expensive education , but education IS expensive.
