Bout 14k.
The hours spent working on it are another story. Could have probably bought a 20k truck if I was getting paid for my "love" hours instead.

Resident Forester
iTrader: (1)
Bought mine for 5k in 2007 since then ive put about 700 into a new rear axle and 700 in power steering pump, tires, wheels, power window motors, and other general maintenance. The rest is just for simple things like a new set of tails after trashing a couple of them, paint, plastidip, HID conversion for my off road lights, toolbox, CB, and countless hours of time I have spent under and on my truck. LOL
So all in all I would bet I have no more than 7.5k in mine and its running strong.

Including the initial purchase price of $28,000, this truck has about $34,000 into it 
But no regrets whatsoever here. I absolutely love this truck and it has never treated me wrong or left me on the side of the road.
Nothing like owning a vehicle from new. I know each and every thing that has been done to this and know it has been very well taken care of from the beginning.
