When do you stop putting money into a car?

I'm wanting to hear different opinions of when is it time to stop putting money into a car for you?

 

NEVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

 

Or when you are happy to be done

 

When I no longer needs gas and maintaining

 

It never stops. Just when I thought I was done with my build, something new always pops up that you "need"

 

when you find another hobby to throw money at, whether it be homebrewing, or reloading, or shooting, or woodworking, or metal fabrication, or gaming.


Or when the money stops flowing in. In which case you can rob a bank like this guy to continue your build

 

It all depends on repair or repairs necessary, milage and condition of said vehicle.

 

Cars hold no value in general,so after about 5 years old,they are not worth putting money into them,unless they are a very desirable car.

 

i spent 22k on a car and got bored with it. that was the time. so i bought a different one, lol

 

I've put close to $20k into my Camaro over the last 20yrs and just recently put another $12k for new motor

 

When the frame or unibody gets rust perforations.

 

For me, the limit is to what i would want the truck to look like. Depends on your financial situation and living situation, but if upgrading your taco is your passion then I would say keep doing. Just remember that's its ok to take breaks sometimes so you don't spend so much money all at once...space it out.

 

My coworker just put 7000$ + into a T100 at the toyota dealer for a new engine and a few other things.
He is stoked that he can continue driving his favorite truck. I guess the dollar amount is different for everyone and every vehicle.
I tried to convince him to find a low mile first gen taco but he really loves his truck.

 

When I run out of it.

 

When you buy a truck

 

Easy...When you sell it or total it. Otherwise it'll never end always going to have to maintenance your vehicle. It just depends on how comfortable you are with the issues and if you can safely operate the vehicle or "ignore" the issue if its not safety related.

 

2006 Subaru Forester, original owner, car still drives great with 320K kms on it. Occasionally I do have to fix something but as long as the engine and tranny keep going I am happy. After 13 years stuff does wear out. No plans to sell it. Kids can beat it up now.

 

What year? Ive had a couple over the years and they are more a labor of love than value... I still would get one if I had the money though

 

doesn't that depend on if it's an appliance or i built & love it? the answer is implied.
