Whos had the biggest garage bill?

[cagedmini]

Just a random thought as im looking at 2000+ to get the mini looking nice again!

[HustleRussell]

I suspect £2,000 is pittance compared to many PHer's stories!

[Ozzie Osmond]

I've seen a bill of £8,000 on a Jag XJR and over £10,000 on a Bentley Arnage.

So far as I can gather bills of £5,000 are far from unusual on an M3.

And Lamborghinis can eat very expensive clutches at regular intervals.

....or you could always go for an "engine out" service on many Ferraris.

How is this a random thought?

[cagedmini]

Because I was just wondering what other people have had to pay out

[eskidavies]

my brother got one of them money pit evo's im sure he's not far off 12-15 grand already,after the last mod he now has to have new head gasket and stronger head bolts another few hundred notes

[snuffle]

Bill for what though?

Service
breakdown
modification
restoration


Personally service £4k +£1500 in upgrades
and £9.5k in a single upgrade, engine swap +some mods

[eskidavies]

modification ,but done in a garage dont know if this counts,did OP mean on just repairs,if so forget my post

[carmonk]

£6,250 in one visit + £3,200 the month after, many years ago. Expensive business, modding

Sorry my comment was meant to be at the OP, no offence meant.

[eskidavies]

no worries pal none taken

[englisharcher]

£4000 to get a Suzuki GS500 serviced.

£200 for a service and a tyre

£3800 for the GSXR that I saw in the showroom and decided to buy while waiting

Does that count?

Spending 5k on a 200k supercar is frankly peanuts. Spending 25k on a Alfa Spider is probably certifiable

You can say that again!

In for a penny, in for a pound

If you think that's certifiable...




nah, forget it

Peanuts I know someone that's spent in excess of 150-200k on one

I took my Porsche to a certain coachworks last year (I wont give the company name) and the owner told me he once handed a customer a bill for over £60,000! And judging by four figure bill he gave me for painting my rear bumper I believed him. (If you want the best you have to pay for it apparently).

I should imagine sending your F40 back to italy for a repaint may cost a few quid.

[Dave 500]

14K in four months Audi RS6 luckily it was all done under warranty.

Ask Andy74b! His Zonda bill may have been equally as impressive!

He's exactly who I was thinking of, the lucky bugger.
