How much have you spent on cars in the last 15yrs?

Total up the money on all the vehicles you've purchased in the last 15yrs.
#The amount can be a little exxagerated if somene bought a 2015 for $30K, then traded it in for another car for $35K for a grand total of $65K.
My car today is over 15yrs old, so $0.00.

But how much have you spent to keep it running?

$282,000
Add in another $30,000 for mods
I know I’m a fricking idiot.

About 125k I guess but still have about 4-5 years to go on current cars
So wife and I averaging about 6k year combined I reckon
This isn’t including the 2 kids cars, around 16k total

Probably over $500K. But a great many of those have been flips, so I've made some of that back.
Since 2002 I've bought 10 new cars. The others were mostly $5K or less cars that I bought did a little work on and resold.

$87k met of trade ins. Damn that feels like way too much but we have a 2015 and 2017 both toyotas so hopefully will be 5+years before that number grows

Got out of college bought a 20k Chevy (terrible decision) traded it in, got 12k and bought a Tundra (best decision I’ve ever made) for 35k. So 43.
Also bought my wife a new Camry for 18. Gave her old car to my younger cousin who started college. My uncle couldn’t afford to buy him a reliable vehicle.
Total- 61.

You just called a $20K car your worst decision and a $35K car your best. I mean that's just stupid, obviously the higher priced vehicle is going to be a better vehicle.

$65k.
I'm still driving one that is 11.5 years old and has 160k miles on it:

Total dollar price of vehicles I’ve purchased? Somewhere around 200k.
How much cash I’ve actually spent on DPs and notes minus trade in values? 80k or so.
I have a company car now so that number is a big fat 0 unless I get fired or decide to get a second vehicle.

Probably spent $120k but made a $30k profit when selling them. I drive antique classics that appreciate in value.
Posted on 12/16/17 at 6:00 pm to lsu xman
2016 flood forced me into my first ever purchase at 21k.
Posted on 12/16/17 at 6:00 pm to lsu xman
Just finished doing all the calculations. After adding up vehicle purchases, maintenance, oil changes, ttl, etc... I’ve got my total. I was pretty meticulous about everything and am pretty sure it’s spot on.
Total comes out to about Tree-fiddy.

I don't drive mine every day. No way I'm using a '65 Shelby GT350 as my daily driver. Though I've had that car for far longer than 15 years and haven't spent anything on it to speak of over the last 20 years .

Too lazy to think that far back, but in the last 7 years... $325,000.
Posted on 12/16/17 at 6:03 pm to lsu xman
$145,000 combined with the Mrs.
Posted on 12/16/17 at 6:04 pm to lsu xman
$49k for two vehicles for the wif and I. My last car was 16 years/225k miles when I sold it 2 years ago.
Drive them til the wheels fall off.
