Alright how much do you love your blazer? I.E. How much money do you throw at it every month and how much would be to much?

I drop about $148 per month in insurance (miss that s10 with 40 bucks a month)
Loan - Paid Off
Gas - $240 ish per month
Repairs - hmm, under $500 the last year in repairs, customization now thats another story.

So $400 a month ish running costs, repairs here and there, and customization whenever i get around to it really.

 

currently
insurance is around $50 a month
Loans- none
Gas- $100 ish a month
Repairs- maby $50 - $100 this year
tag - $20 a year

 

insurance - 154$ monthly
gas - 200$ monthly
Repairs - 500$ since I had it roughly

 

insurance=$88 a month

gas=around $320/month

repairs=approaching $3000 for the year

loans=paid off

 

insurance is about $90 for me

gas I'm spending almost $400 a month when I have school...

repairs this year probably have been close to $2000 over 2010

other money I've put into it probably another $2000 in 2010

 

Well let's see.

Insurance: $140 a month "got two cars"
Gas: $120-150 a month
Repairs: about $500 since Feb.2010
New tires: $660
Loan: paid off

Equals.$1450

P.S. truck cost $3000 in Feb 2010

 

since purchase about 2 mths ago...
$700 for the jimmy, plated & taxes
$140 safety/emissions
$160 new gas tank.
$350 new cat. installed by mech.
$300 new lower ball joints.
$30 tranny intercooler & hose/hardware for the PS cooling line leak
$30 spare dummy tire & jack + other assorted small items
$70 new u-joints (all 3 ac delco greasable ones)
$20 new fuel filler neck - WHICH i was told the 99+ filler neck wouldn't fit on my metal 97 tank. that sure as hell turned out to be a total lie BUT u need the entire thing from top to tank.
$10 for a new actuator that i didn't need but still now have as a backup.
$40 for the 4x4 cable - gonna change that regardless
$50 ish maybe for the encoder motor when i grab it in the near future - after i check the codes.
Money saved doing the work myself - easily $2,000 so far.
oh and....
Gas: working - 300+ / not working: 150 or less
ins: $150 ish i believe


so far $2,450 in 2 mths. BUT the end is near on repairs at least and then its just cosmetics....

 

Insurance: 480$ Per year
Loan: 400$ Per months for 1 year
Gas: 150-200$ per Months
Repairs: From May 2010 to today, 1000$ in repair and over 2000$ in modification

 

insurance, hmmm...............don't remember the break down, but i'm paying just under $202/mth for my Blazer, the Regal, and fire/theft/collision on da 'Burb & Dart.

fuel, well that's another story! i'm averaging around 16+ mpg, but with being laid off work again, sometimes i'm only filling up once a week. i'd say, curently, a safe average would be 5 to 6 tanks a month, maybe $400 for the month.

you should see what a monthly fuel bill is when i'm working!

repairs are nothing really. had 'er just over 2 years now......did a complete AC Delco tune up when i first got it (a $100 score on Kijiji), and complete brakes all around to safety it. i'd say i've spent maybe $1100 on it since i've owned it-including BN Winter tires last year.

not bad in my book, considering i've put roughly 80K on it.
