$0 down, 0% financing for 60 months, bought new.

GMPP $2K: $100 deduct, 5 yr, 100k miles ~$200/month for 10 months
Ins. ~$90/Month
Gas: ~ $80/Month (Daily Driver)
Mods: ~$2k so far so about $120/Month so far...
Total: ~$1140/Month if things stay the same for the next 3.5 years.

Good Thread!
I showed your thread to my wife and she said you were my alter ego! I must add these costs:
Screw in rear tire twice in 2 months, opposite rears.
Major angst over finding someone you trust fixing the tire. Then when I did they showed me three of my four wheels were bent out of round!
My wife also noted the cost of her new kitchen and 2 carat diamond ring!

Theodore Roosevelt was asked the same question about pheasant hunting.
His reply, "It is worth whatever it costs"
with Teddy 
60 months 0%....5k down....and even $ 700 a month. I just put in 15 hours a month on overtime and the payment is made
Well worth the 15 hours to drive and own this car and this way it doesn't impact my monthly nut. Then I just got a nice promotion so the payment is now covered plus some. The overtime money is now filtered into my blower savings account. 
Insurance...I was with State Farm...discovered they are one of the most expensive out there. With Wawanesa now, better coverages and my insurance is less for three cars now than it was with two. Also my my wifes Suburban costs more to insure than the vette. I like throwin that in the wifes face when she gets on me about mods
The car is my only vice so I spend what I want on it.
