just got 15K !!! what to do with it!?

[musclesgabe]

well after a year and a half since my wreck i got my frist settlement check in. its fifteen thousand dollars. i was wondering what i should do with it. i want to get a 97 or 98 stock low miles manuel that was driven by a responsible adult who took care of the car, but i can't find $hit out there! my friend gets wholesale turbo kits and boost control and blowoff valves and all that good stuff so i would def go turbo with it after i got it. i wanna spend about 10k of it on a car but i can't find a 240 out there worth buying. anyone know where i can find one, or know any other cars i should consider getting?

yes, I can help,,.... but for a fee

would you ming coming to So Cal to pick up the car??

Jackson, Mississippi. 1.5 hours away, full of mustangs and camaros. That's where I'm from originally. Up until a couple of years ago little old ladies drove them exclusivlely. The clarion-Ledger is the paper, see if there is an online classified.

buy a couple kegs, invite alot of local girls over for a kegger, and ravage them. Be sure to tape it and make a website to sell them. You'll need the 15k for the business to start up. lol

could send everyone in NICO a dollar:) but then you'd be in the hole lol.

[w1ngzer0]

15k.... wow thats a lot of moola just for a car..... I would use that money toward a new car not an old 240

[hannibal]

That would make a nice down payment on a 350Z.

Just a tip: A lot of the nice 97-98 S14s are listed at really high asking prices. So when youre looking on AutoTrader or something, make sure you search up to $15K...

Ive seen some nice ones listed around $12K

[Chingon]

you could get a new mrs for less than that now adays..

[Doomed2Walk]

15K is a nice down payment on an STi or EVO. Or you could get TWO cars! S13, spend about 5K on it and still have like 6-7K on a downpayment and use the rest for insurance:P

[jdmfreak]

Id put 10K down on a 2004/05 350 Z or G35.

Oh and the rest can go towards youre brand spankin new Greddy TT kit.

[GEO]

lol, invest the 15k

ps: I love da new forum format man, I missed a lot! darn rents

[musclesgabe]

well again insurance is going to be a big key factor in this decision. im 21 years old and my insurance is damn high already. i can aford getting an s14 and going turbo bc insurance won't know jack about that. sti's , 350z's and cars like that are going to make it impossible to get insurance that is affordible on. i don't want anything that looks old. somethign i was thinking about was getting an s13 and putting on a kit from http://www.jacquemond.com on it with some suicide doors and some nice rims ( racing looking, not bling bling looking) . putting a sr20det in it and fixing up the suspention. after that i'd prob be at about 15k or so but it would be the badest car on LSU's campus.

[musclesgabe]

also i need some education on sr20det swaps. where to get them, how to know you getting a good engine. how many miles it has. so on...

[musclesgabe]

hello

[w1ngzer0]

you want to hop on the bandwagon that bad?

[musclesgabe]

no help at all?

[Doomed2Walk]

Look over to the right and look at the sponsors. Phase2, XAT, Enjuku, Heavy Throttle are all good.

Why not get a cheap S13 rolling chassis from somewhere down in the dry, dusty part of the country, and get a good bodyshop paint the thing and put a *modest* kit on it.

As you said, set aside a bit of funds for suspension and some subtle interior stuff. You should still have enough $$$ left over to invest and you won't have a car that screams "please pull me over Mr. Policeman, I've got an illegal engine installed in my vehicle."

I say, go with a low-key but clean looking S13 chassis and get a nice S14 SR. Hell, if you can install the stuff yourself, you can get a hell of a package from Heavy Throttle for ~ $6K + shipping.

[skydragoness]

I would'n't feel right blowing $15k on a single car. Get an S13, do some modest stuff, and save the rest for emergencies or something more tangible.

[PantherRacer]

that jacquemond widebody kit iz boss. I been eyeing that scince I saw it like early this year man. well whateva ya do, I know you'll make da right choice. don't blow it all on da car lol

[musclesgabe]

yeah my friend is gettnig me his insurance agents phone number to see what i could get insured on and for how much considering my extra clean record. also i heard getting insurance through usaa is supercheep.

That makes absolute positive logical sense

hehe oops i was trying to sound economical here...

If I had 15k I would wait until next year and get a new VW 4motion GTI with the 2.0 fsi turbo motor. The president of vw recently appologized for the last two models, and said this car is going to be 85% stiffer. And its AWD.
