Bought mine for $1400. Needed about $3900 of maintenance right off the bat. Me and my dad did most the work but there were some things that were easier for a maintenance shop to do like motor mounts (ran me a pretty penny at $1250 alone) but parts took most of the cost. Put about $500 worth of second hand parts in it, i.e junkyard parts

 

Bought my 02 for 2200 and put another 800 in parts and maintenance.

 

My blazer...I try not to think about lol.. well over 10k over the years.

my jimmy I got for 550 and put about 400 into

 

About 2 grand currently for the truck in my sig, nil cost for vehicle as i won it in a bet. by the end of getting it repaired to a daily use condition i will have about 3,000$(USD) into it.

 

 

Close to $1,000 in suspension, brakes and replacing the entire interior. Still need a new dashboard and the engine tune ups.

 

Hello everybody

I reach now $ 3448.77 after replace front end suspension.

What about you guys ?

 

This is an update for me.

Purchased in 2010 for ~$4000
Other big purchases/expenses excluding normal consumables (oil, tires, brake pads, etc.):
Suspension lift parts: $400
Rebuilt transmission: $3,000
Upgraded radiator: $500
Other odd parts replaced (not normal consumables): $500

Definitely not bad averaged out over the time I've had it; about $1000 per year for an upgraded Blazer.

 

I'm $300 into this one so far including purchase price. I bought it with a seized engine. Originally was going to part it out for my jimmy. Plans changed and I swapped my engine from the jimmy into it. Next money going into it will be tires. So I think I did ok for $300. Full leather interior and everything works. So now the wife has a 4x4 winter ride!

 

I'm in around 11k now lift blown cv axles a few times, fixed the sloppy steering, replaced all suspension,
bought a lifetime warranty with bg oil.
big leaf spring package. 5 stacks.
Steering stabalizer, pro comp steelies, second rad for transmission, custome drive shavs and prop shaft.
