how much do you spend on your nova a month thread.

[torquey]

How much do you roughly spend on your novas a month? I mean buying things that u need /want? I carnt stop buying stuff and some stuff i dont even need lol. Last month spent around £350 on stuff but only cos a hybrid turbo came up at a good price lol.

[kbnova]

wouldn't even like to add it up lol

[bazzap8389]

Too bloody much lol think I averaged about £800 a month last year lol won't be near as much this year though ( I hope haha) as most bits are paid for.

[turbodrew1]

I'm always buying stuff, I barely even use the ****in thing. It's a bad illness, I can't see nothing go past me and I make excuses in my head as to why I need that item at that moment. It's sad actually.

[8valve-craig]

I never add it up either.

[rob89]

I don't look at receipts but I would say since I have bought it around 2k if not more! And I only needed to replace the turbo! But you always find something...

[GDN16v]

Too much. Adding it up is always a bad idea!!! lol

[rich a]

I have found so far its best not to add it up but I reason that once I have done the basics it shouldn't be to bad. also I found hiding the credit card bill or halving the cost tends to smooth things with the wife

[torquey]

Iam the same lol if its there i buy it usually even if i dont need it or can afford it.

[marc69]

two words......TOO MUCH

[ASH GSI]

I don't tend to spend much on the nova really as don't use it much, but my astra vxr and starlet turbo seem to suck money from the bank like a cheap hooker lol

[Pistol Pete]

£35 p/m for insurance. A bit of fuel. And £120 in March for six months tax!! Then shows and tinkering (not alot of this lol)

[chrisd1986]

Not as much as I would like to but I would say about £100 a month on nova related stuff i probably dont need or will never use but will soon be more when I get it ready for its m.o.t, insurance and tax to put it back on the road for summer

lol drew - embrace your non-materialistic side and flog it. treat yourself to a nice holiday with the winnings :thumb:

[brainsnova]

Spend it while you can unless your saving for a coffin lol

[kbnova]

one thing I did tell the wife , If I die before my time please don't sell my novas and parts for what I said I paid for them

[Adam]

Zero

[Rage]

ive spent about £1500 this year and it was meant to be a cheap work ride think its about time i get a more capable project (defender) so at least it will be earning it's parts unlike the novavan

[mikey093]

Probably 10 pound a month on little trees and that's about it really

[Benn]

I never add it up or even think about it..

[wwmnw]

Before I got rid of my unfinished SR I spent a fair bit on it, the part I regret most is paying £800 for high comp pistons and steel rods, then having to put them on ebay and getting £400 back for them... Unused.

Reaaaaaallllllly want another one but I don't have anywhere to store it :(

Madness I would of kept them just out of principle, ive lost money on car parts and tools but not that much

[wwmnw]

Was a bit gutted but I was sh!t at ebay and had them ending late on a saturday night iirc, kinda regret buying them anyway as I was kidding myself thinking I could afford it at the time! Sad thing is I could afford to chuck some money at a car now but I don't have the storage, so just gonna save up for a daily.

In just four days? Sh!t the bed! ;)

[Novasport]

It varies from one month to the next but I daren't add up what I have spent over the years. TBH, I have not spent a great deal on a lot of the bits I have and I bought them at the right time. Some parts have been an investment & I have made money on them. I try and sell unwanted stuff for the funds to buy what I want.

[wwmnw]

^ Dedication!

Edit: On Rage's part that is lol you're just greedy with a Sport, Spider and Swing :p

[Novasport]

Just jealous :p

[wwmnw]

Indeed I am lol

[mk1nova_rich]

Nothing, I don't have a Nova :(

[bazzap8389]

Nothing, I don't have a Nova :(

You're one of the lucky ones then lol

[Edd]

I buy a few bits every month, been collecting new spare panels lately

not sure why, the Sport only moved 5 meters in the whole of 2013 lol

[millworm]

Too much

[Benn]

Just like to buy what i see/like.

[mowgli]

at the moment, about £20 including insurance

[chrisd1986]

at the moment, about £20 including insurance

I thought your nova was in bits like most on here lol

[mowgli]

nope, it is i one large bit & the only cost its incurring is insurance....... but i have a cunning plan to actually get the damned thing back on the road soon..... (the plan does involve some concrete, roof sheets, and mugs of tea)

[davidfox280585]

people with built cars will always spend less,i consider my build price different to when its complete,
currently im having my turbo relocated over my gearbox and a downpipe that will cost me £300, this is a cost i will not have to pay when its finished

when building you will spend more as you want this and want that but when built its more time cleaning and polishing and minor repairs

[NitrousVaux]

I am only spending £0 per month at the mo until I can get the missus meriva out of the garage and my nova back in to work on.
