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

As the title says. Im selling my 2nd car which is a 2007 acura tl. Now, if you were going to recieve roughly 14k. What would you spend it on. Prefferably alot toward my 370. My Z has 700 miles on it so im hesitant to go F/I

i wouldve just kept the TL and used it as dd.

TL is heavily modded and not practical DD. ide much rather buy a garbage jeep when winter comes.

just demod it and use it as a dd?

give it to me so i can go boost

If you don't have a backup or daily driver it might be best to consider. I found a '99 Accord sedan for under $3k, and I've been very happy with it for the past couple of years. It is saving my butt right now since my Z is down waiting on parts.

Before dumping money in the order of magnitude of tens of thousands, research and plan very well in regards to what you want and avoid impulse decisions. In the meantime, keep on saving.

Ah, save the money.

I would have to have more info on your life before I could give an appropriate answer lol.

My 2001 daily Accord is a fn champ! Best $2500 I have spent.

Save the cash.

lol...to answer your QUESTION though

Id get long tube headers and exhaust...basically full exhaust..Fast intentions is amazing as well as motordyne but they dont offer LTH yet, then id get the M370 manifold, and ecutek tune....save the rest Some nice wheels and tires too

Invest the money, watch it grow, and buy a GTR.

Set $1500 aside for the inevitable CSC failure and throw in a nice clutch and flywheel while you're in there. Put the rest toward the car note if you have one.

If you are getting 14k for a 2007 anything...take the money and run ! ...then dump it in the bank and save it...why blow it ? If you still don't have an answer ,Paypal it to me and I will gladly help you !

Not real fun, but if you still owe on the Z, pay down the loan with it.

I have a serious addiction to modding. As im 21 and need to keep the Z on top in my local friend group haha. But i was actually thinking of LTH and CBE from FI. A quiet car kills me. The remainder could go to a new daily thats not so expensive and maybe a payment towards principle? If nissan does that. Ide like to get payments lower monthly if i have that opportunity. Ive had this car for about a month ide say.

You'll have a lot more mod money once the car is paid off. Set aside an emergency fund for WHEN the CSC fails, and pay off as much of the car as possible. You may be able to refi after that if the payment is what's important to you, but I've always found it to be better to concentrate on the AMOUNT owed, not the payment.

401k
 

...or Hershey stock. (HSY)
One of the most well run and profitable companies on the planet. People eat chocolate no matter what the economy is doing.
Nice dividends.

104

spend it on whatever makes you happy.

If you are going headers and exhaust, I would go with the Z1/Momentum DE headers. They make the most power.

My 2000 Accord has 215k and still runs like a champ. It has saved me a few times...i love him!

exhaust, intake, test pipes, wheels, coilovers

If it's for show and some go, then you should be fine with some minor mods to be different from stock. If you're seriously considering forced induction down the road, you're better off saving your money or paying off your loan. Your '15 NISMO is plenty awesome as it is. Heck I'm itching for the body panels lol.

wheels, tires, coilovers, full exhaust, intake, intake manifold, ecutek tune, LSD and good brakes. done.

I'd do the suspension first. Although if your going to spend the money on another daily, I would just take the TL back to stock. TL > beater Jeep.

Just donate the money to "my pay pal" account. I find an useful way to spend it. LOL

Looks like you already spent it.

Buy yourself a cheap D.D, if you were in an environment with decent weather year around I would just use the Z as a D.D and invest that 14K. Unfortunately the Z's value will not be effected that much either way, as I see used Z's with higher mileage selling for as much as those with low mileage. Now what the difference the owner gets I dunno...

Save the money, put it in the bank, and decide when its NOT burning a hole in your pocket.

Spoke too soon. My '99 Accord sedan is pretty much totaled as of this morning. Both airbags deployed, crash beam caved into the radiator, headlight busted, hood crumpled, etc. It was pouring heavy rain. I was going northbound on the right lane as I approached 2 cars stopped on the left lane (possibly front most car waiting to turn left). A southbound car made a blind attempt to turn left. 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.

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.

All the real money is in Tiffany, Apple, and Porsche stock... the rising tides lift only yachts and capsize all else :shakes head:

So sucks...but could have been so much worse! So sorry to hear.

$hit! Sorry to hear Digi :(

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