Default How much money have you saved because of Club Lexus?

In appreciation for this great forum I would like for people to estimate how much money they have saved due to the countless tips, instructions, interactions, advise and classifieds on this great site

I have a 1992 LS400 and a 1998 GS400 and I would estimate a conservative 3000 saved over the last 4 years because of this site!

Thank you, thank you thank you

Yeah but how much more would you have spent to get your car to look like it does without this site? That's the question.

Hmmm, more like how much I threw away BECAUSE of Club Lexus. LOL. I always said that I just wanted wheels and that was it. And then I found Club Lexus
There are alot of DIY and helpful people on the board, so yes, some money was saved.
I love Club Lexus <3

Thumbs up Just be a well informed Driver

Well, Let see, My 2011 Tax Return was gone in one day. And she keep on asking me what did I do with the $$$$. And then I asked her, How is car running? She replied, great. So I told her to zipped it. Seriously, you really don't wanted to be a driver bringing your car to garage or a mechanic without doing a little bit of researching and been informed. I am planning to keep this car for awhile and someday, only someday, I got ball enough to do all the DIY tips. Thanks to all CL members, I salute 'S to all. ( I love running yellow light with my GS ) "Don't do this all the time" guys.

Almost $3000.00 and am still stock, what happened?

Default Saved me From Buying a new car!

I still enjoy driving the car thanks to this site. Many, many mods and DIYs. I could never enjoy driving and tinkering the car without this site. Clearly would've been bored and probably bought something else.

How much did I save?? Cash outlay and depreciation on a new ride is huge. Every time I do a new mod, it feels like a new car and I have the confidence to do the mods thanks to this site.

I think I'm with the guys who've spent way more because of this site than what I've saved! Granted I've gotten a lot better deals on parts than I would've without being here but seeing everyone else's cars feeds my modding addiction and that feeling that I always need something more. Overall, my bank account would be in much better shape if I didn't come here.
