How much do you spend every month on your C3?
I think if I average out my yearly expenses for all the crap that happens it probably comes out to about $150/mth.. I must be nuts I could use that towards a new car pay't??? Naaa. I 'll keep the vette.

You can't think of it as $$$ per month. I just spend it as I see needed. Which is usually to much. How about :) :) per month. Now that is priceless

Well, with all the cars I have had over the past five years, it has cost me NADA.. What I mean is, I have made money.. I spent money each month on my past cars but, when I sold them I was always in the plus!! :) Lucky I guess!! :yesnod: :lol:

I am going to ignore this question. It may be part of what my therapist calls "denial". He says I am getting better, tho. I must learn to say "no". :D

I don't even want to think about the ''average'' per month right now!!! :crazy:
Maybe after everything is said and done I will just for the heck of it!!

At the moment I haven't really spent all that much on my '79, but in a couple of months I think I'm going to start a frame off restoration/modification... then we'll really see the wallet empty :crazy:

I have kept track of all expenses for six years and the cost per month is $250. This figure includes a $4500. 406 I just put in. Sounds like a bunch of money for a 22 year old car until you start pricing new cars. I looked for a 450hp car,but I can't seem to find any.

I gladly spend as much as I can. If I don't, the wife will just spend it on frivilous things ;) :cheers:

ZERO since I bought the '63 Catalina vert, but that will soon change. The Cat is almost ready for the road and the Vette will follow soon.

I only buy gas in the summer but in the winter when I go through everything I spend what ever it costs. 2 years ago $9000. Last winter about $5000 on an already finished car. I keep trying to convince myself to just quit spending every winter and be content with what I have. Hasn't happened yet in 14 years.
Maybe this winter? :)

I've owned my car for 15 months and spent about $15,000, including purchase price. It's starting to taper off now. I just went out and repaired a loose seal in one of my headlight actuators, 12 mo. ago I would have just ordered a new one. This forum, and links like Corvette FAQ and The '73 Spot, save me a bundle. Thanks to all.
