Hmm, let's see, when I bought it, I spent around $200 on a window lift motor, rotors, and pads/shoes.
Later on, about $150 on a stereo and speakers
Then $180 on tires (Tire Kingdom clearance sale
)
And about $200 - $300 on various suspension parts, i.e. idler arm, bushings, ball joints etc etc.
Plus regular maintenance, oil changes, gas, car care products.
So around $800 + maintenance, give or take.

1991 S10 4x4
Bought for $1,150, had 178k miles. Now has 192k miles.
Repairs since purchase - roughly $1,500.
Plus gas and my oil/filter changes every 2k - 2.5k miles.
Everything included i'd say about $5,000. And i've only owned this for 2 years!

i'd say what i have in the blazer including what i paid for it about 4,500$. have had it for 3years now and have replaced a lot of stuff on it. Also i do my own repairs or i'd have a lot more invested than that.
