In my mind, you're looking at 8 grand to get a car to the stages. Plus or minus a bit, but that seems to be a fairly common mark (and I've not met many/any people who refute it!)
I started with a 6k car, spent about that. I know people who started with a 1k car and spent the same as me. Same with people that bought a 4k car.
That car will likely need some love to solve some of the issues from it sitting, as well cage updates, belts, extinguishers, possibly seats are all things that may require replacement.
Running the car, even if you're a budget production driver like myself, running the regionals (Galway, Lanark, Bear, Pines, Shannonville and Neige) as well as rallycrosses is 6.5 grand a year if you're SUPER cheap and don't wreck.
Some food for thought.
