                  About 10,000 already. Have receipts to prove it. This is including the price of car ofcourse.

                            $0

                            All my maintenance costs have been offset by the profits generated parting cars out, And those same profits still buy more cars. Along with that the major parts to upkeep it (Driveshaft, Brake calipers, Brake master, etc.) came from the same cars being parted out.

                            But, if you want ACTUAL numbers. I refuse. I will not add up what I've put into the car. That way it won't magically gain 2-3k worth of fake/psuedo value.
