2nd car being sold. What to do with $$$ !?!

Jordo! · 08-06-2015, 02:46 AM

If it isn't paid off or nearly so, I wouldn't do FI -- that money will be gone before the first tuning bug crops up with most kits.

I'd take as much as as you can bear to part with and pay down the lows (say, at least 4 grand?), then you've got 10K for whatever floats your boat.

Start with the basics -- if you've already got intake, exhaust, suspension/brake stuff dialed in to your liking, I'd look into a nice set of PPE headers, a tune, and call it a day.

Even if you get stuck buying new O2's (the whole header removal/replacement process is notorious for killing them..), you'll have plenty left over if something like a nice shiny IM should ever come out or you find you need new tires (not cheap on this car), or to save or spend on other things.

If the car is paid off or close to it, another thing to consider is how likely you will want to keep it in a few years.

I slammed the brakes the moment I saw him, but I ended up sliding and t-boned the rear passenger side. He got cited for failure to yield.

So sad... I hate searching for used cars. Heck, I don't even know how much I'll get and whether it'll be enough.

$hit! Sorry to hear Digi

Hope everyone involved was ok. And good luck on your search
