I totaled Up all the receipts for the ZHP tonight.......

[danewilson77]

And I almost fell out if my chair.

......and whoever can guess the price (Closest)....


gets a $25.00 Amazon gift card.

It is OK if guess is "over" the actual price....unlike some game shows.

Amount is written on my BMW CCA membership renewal envelope, and is verified by Walker Texas Ranger.

STATS
Purchase date:8/2010
Mileage: 146,327

Ends > Saturday, 2/11/12 @ 2400 PST.

1 guess per person.


PM me your guess......Otherwise this isn't going to work well.


***DO NOT POST YOUR GUESS HERE, THOUGH DISCUSSION IS ALWAYS AUTHORIZED***

Go!

[Mtnman]

Still awaiting your review by the way:)

[coby1]

1.5 yrs i would say north of 5k (still in the honeymoon/mod/maintenance - just because.. area)

[danewilson77]

Reminder: All official guesses need to be PM'd to me.

HTC Thunderbolt+TT

[spencers]

Done.

The amount I've spent on mine is staggering too.. More than I paid for the car.:o

[nike001]

Well, considering I already have about 4k in to mine, and I'm nowhere near where you are with yours.. my guess is around double. PM'ing.

[Stu]

Haha I did this the other night, too. About 2.5k in general maintenance and repairs, 1k of which was absolutely necessary, and 1.5k in improvements :p

It's a pond behind the local christmas tree farm that most people from where I live get their trees from. I wouldn't really classify it as a lake..

How close was I, Dane? ;)

I can't tell you. Sorry.

I will say one guess thus far is within $500.

[GSEN820]

Just parts?

[danewilson77]

Just parts?

Parts/maintenance.

HTC Thunderbolt+TT

[Meric]

$500 ? Come on even new water pump costs $300

[Ryans323i]

Parts/maintenance/mods? Does this also include for example: "Cost of roof rack *minus* monies received when sold" ?

[danewilson77]

Roof rack and transaction not included.

It was pretty much a sum zero deal.

Ooo nice. Okay I'm about to propose an estimate.

[danewilson77]

[Hornung418]

The 11th at midnight.

[webster]

not gonna lie, my heart skipped a beat when i saw a thread that started with "i totaled..." and i had to re-read to make sure it wasn't "that" kind of totaled.


trying to come up with a guess...curious as to how stock your ZHP was when you bought her?

[Hermes]

I don't even want to total up my receipts... pretty sure I'm close to MSRP. I'll send you a PM for the hell of it, gimme a while to think about it first

[RVAzhp]

... since i've owned mine i've only spent. 2700...but that doesn't include oil changes and the money i've spent from insurance deductibles on body repair. so maybe add on another grand +..and i've owned the car since 2009.

[SoarinZHP]

In my old BMW, I kept track of what I spent and it made me sick to my stomach when I got all the receipts out and did some basic math. With the new one, I log it because but I'm not going to add it up. I just put all the receipts in an envelope and let it be. It's not about how much you spend. It about smiles for miles. Yeah baby!

[nike001]

Really?! I've had mine since July 2010 and my total now is around $4800. But I'm sure I missed a couple things still..

[RVAzhp]

I was doing some more thinking, i just remembered tires. so with oil changes, insurance deductibles, and tires...i'd say around $4500. I guess i've tried to "forget" some of the money i've spent on the car.

Yup, I hear you. I just remembered that I forgot something. I'm at $5,103.78 now. Not including all shipping costs.

[gr330zhp]

Ha, I totalled mine up Christmas day. Since June 2008, at 27k miles. It sits at 70k miles right now. Receipt total for EVERYTHING minus gas, insurance/registration is just over $8k :rofl

Some great guesses. A couple of fellas guessed the same amounts. He ended up $79.79 off. Great guess......names and guesses, as well as total amount at top (when we started) is listed.

Thanks for playin.....

Dangit! What do I get for being second? My guess was $9267.53, as I don't see myself on the list.

J/k!


Congrats Quik!!!!

I was a few hundred off... figured you'd be right under $10k

Hell I haven't even had mine a month and I'm right at $5k

[UdubBadger]

for me?


you did see my old 135i right?

:caseyshrug

[yura]

Heh, that's not so bad. I made the mistake of totalling all my bike expenses for a year once. The sum came to be around $15k, not including cost of bike or insurance... I thought about selling the bike, but decided to just stop doing math instead.

[quikryptonite]

Thanks Dane! I just got lucky. I used to watch a lot of The Price is Right when I was a kid, I'm going to say that is what helped my guess. You've sure got a sweet ride.

[Meric]

Damn I'm way off. Sorry Dane.

[Oli77]

Dang! That's a good incentive to lease a car isn't it?

I mean $540 / month.

[danewilson77]

No kidding......+ 318.00/mo(car payment) + insurance + gas = so far >$1000/month so far.

[johnrando]

Interesting! I was thinking my # was too low, and I should likely have put it near $9500, so actually pretty close. That's a good penny, but well spent.

[danewilson77]

Yeah......most the major stuff is outta the way. Need a window reg, tranny/diff mounts, tranny/diff fluid soon (again), tires (10k more miles), ugh......

[T.Bird]

No kidding......+ 318.00/mo(car payment)

Interesting, mine is $319.

[SoarinZHP]

It won't end. When you think all the stuff is fixed, you come full circle. As in Lion King style... Been there... Done that... Doing it again.

[az3579]

Interesting, mine is $319.

$379. :(

[danewilson77]

Nice

I know.....I am already looking forward to doing coolant overhaul, pullies and belts in 2 years.....though I just did them. Once per year CAB's, RSM, tires......ugh.

Brakes will most likely be coming up within the next year....though I bought the BMW Pereformance brake rotors last year.


$379. :(

You must have financed fewer years perhaps.

[az3579]

Four years. You?

[SureShot434]

$379. :(

Wow mine is $229.00 / mo

[nike001]

I guess we're talking car payments?

Mine is $250/mo

[WOLFN8TR]

WOW, That's one nicely maintained ZHP! Let me know when it's for sale.:thumbsup

[zhp43867]

Financing... is a foreign concept to me :cigar

On another note I was way off with my estimate.

[Ryans323i]

So true.

And, btw, my car's paid for snitches! Booya! lol

[Crickett]

$512 / mo :shifty Will be paid off this calendar year, though! :fistpump

[danewilson77]

Well done to those who own, free and clear.

HTC Thunderbolt+TT

[RVAzhp]

Mine is $359/month i pay mine off in 6 months i'm pretty stoked.

financed over 4 years.

[Chad44]

Oh man I wish I had seen this sooner, I had 9,400 in my head but as I read further, I saw that it had already been released... Thats what I get for studying instead of spending time on the forums.
I'm 8 months into owning my ZHP and have tallied about $6k so far.
I'm happy to have paid for it cash, but I did that by selling my truck... So happy to be out from under those $850/mo payments (5 years... Ouch)
