Put your money into a fixed asset like a home... Trust me I am the only one here on the board who went gonzo with the Z... I have over $20k+ in the body alone!!!

I look back on the project and honestly say I wish I would have done smaller mods and bought a house...

Coming from Experience... be responsible!!! LOL

Back then it was Playing in Bands, Hot Chicks and Fast cars... I had plenty of fun..

But by Investing I am able to retire early and do what I want...True life is short..That is why working is not something I do anymore...:tup:

kidkotic2001 02-05-2013 03:20 PM

Get yourself some stock then make more money get a GTR and a new Vette

bullitt5897 02-05-2013 04:30 PM

Personally I invest in rental properties... They make great retirement income! And a great tax write off!

If I had 75k I would hire GTM to design me a roots supercharger :)

And I would buy all the other normal goodies :)

Or sell my Z and buy a GTR lol

Baer383 02-05-2013 08:04 PM

I would leave this site and go to a site that shows you how to make money and another web site for gamblers anonymous.

EmpireDude 02-06-2013 09:38 PM

Keep Z, buy a used GT-R. duh! :)

rockyraccoon 02-07-2013 02:33 PM

buy one

ts-c63 02-07-2013 02:44 PM

Spend about $15k on modding the Z and invest the rest.

blueranger 02-23-2013 10:28 AM

^^^ what he said.

GTR is awesome but why not FI your Z and shock others with a sleeper.. invest the rest make it back and then still buy the GTR if you change you mind.

diddy535 02-23-2013 12:45 PM

Definitely go for the home, you put a huge chunk down, get a low interest rate and then the interest you pay is another deduction on your taxes.

Then if you have some left play the market. Problem is if you put all 75k in the market you'll have to pay taxes on it plus whatever interest it made when you go to take it out.

dirtrat 02-23-2013 09:57 PM

I like my Z, but if I won 75K I wouldn't own it for very long. I can think of several cars I would rather own for this price range!

nmjaxx9 02-24-2013 06:13 PM

Well the Z is how I like it now, so prolly save the 75k invest some of it into maintenance (oil changes etc)

Then again I do all my service myself, so I don’t think I would ever pay for routine maintenance, never have before, and never will. :tup:

athlon omega 02-25-2013 12:13 AM

If you're looking at getting a used GTR, you might want to try auctions in Houston or Miami. A friend of mine said his freind is an auto dealer and saw '09 GTRs selling for about $35,000 to 40,000 with about 20,000 miles on them. A lot of those cars in those type of auctions were leased. That applies to Ferrari's and other exotics as well. That's definitely the route I plan on going when I get settled and plan on getting that ideal dream car down the road.

35k for a clean title GTR? no way...

AlexRaymond19 02-25-2013 05:47 AM

Go twin turbo, and awd conversion. Make it better than a GTR

/Angelo350Z/ 02-25-2013 07:10 AM

Get a set of Volk wheels, CBE, HFCs, do some home improvement worth $30K, then put the rest down for a Ferrari 355.

TonySlimfast 02-26-2013 10:20 AM

... hmm 75,000 divided by 365 days, you can get a nice escort every day of the year at the Rate of $205 a day ... yes!

Caustic 02-26-2013 11:07 AM

Take $20k, pimp your ride (tastefully please!)
Take $5k, buy a watch and pimp your wrist.
Take $50k, invest and pimp your bank account.

TerribleONE 02-26-2013 06:00 PM

Have to agree with above.. and as far as what id buy for the Z.. brides, built motor, second set of wheels (20s) and a vinyl wrap!

Nismolover 02-27-2013 09:26 PM

And that was just 50g I could keep going if need be

NissanGuy23 02-27-2013 11:37 PM

I would get a used GTR, or some car thats under 75k. I understand the whole responsibility thing, but i put owning a dream car on a pretty high level. Youve already got savings, rainy day funds, and 401k's, gotta enjoy life. But thats just me

Amuse370z 02-28-2013 06:53 AM

I actually never noticed how big the GT-R was until I saw it in a packed dealership.

The thing is huge! Like a boat.

:iagree:, but to the GT_R's defense, most supercars are the biggest cars you'll see in person.:driving:

cavemancan 03-20-2013 12:50 PM

1) Buy home - First home so I can use my 401k as down (already doing this)
2) Pay off debt $55k
3) Use $10k to add NA/suspension mods and strip the car
4) Use $10k buy daily driver

chknhawk 03-20-2013 01:09 PM

I don't even know if I would spend that much on a DD> I wouldn't sell the Z, especially if I had the funds to do other stuff. I wouldn't pour all my fresh earnings into it either. I would spend a little bit maybe 5-10K and invest the rest across a couple accounts. Let that money boil for a couple years and then do something else with it. Thats 75K. Thats a nice chunk of money. To drop that all off Cash on a car... nah... Not a smart move. Pay off debt?? Yes that is a great option.... as long as your still saving on top of that. Congrats on the money and hope it finds a nice home.....

If I was being a total bastard though... GTR! ;-)

SurfDog 03-20-2013 01:14 PM

$15K would totally buff your Z into a supercharged awesome sauce dripping machine. I'd use the rest to improve my finances and home. (And pay off your car loan?)

Most of all, have fun.

ElVee 04-03-2013 04:28 PM

I saw rental....practical...and hookers. Of course, go with a brothel...I mean....bed-n-breakfast!

Z370Z011 04-03-2013 05:04 PM

Maaaann.. Wish i 75k. I think this is a sign to get into poker lol.
Honestly id invest that money to make more money, which will eventually lead to me making my Z into a full blown track car and then buying a GTR. That is of course if i can successfully invest it :) or i can go broke trying to triple my money haha. Worth a shot.

6MT 04-03-2013 05:05 PM

If I won 75K (US), I would buy a GTR and to heck with the Z!

Brutal 370Z 04-03-2013 05:43 PM

Bank that ****!!!/invest in appreciating assets

pseftis 04-04-2013 01:28 AM

Well it's up to 100k now.. Almost enough for new gtr :)

For me, I would never pay off the House...At today's rates being 3.75%, you are borrowing the money for free after deductions...No paying the House..If you have one. Refinance NOW

A paid off house is illiquid and you can get a loan for 3.75% and you can make double that Investing. Some people need a paid off home...With Interest rates below 4%, it is a no brainer....Re finance, or buy a Home with only 20% down.

Second I would invest at least 30K to 50K in Dividend paying stocks and reinvest the dividends...At 7% it will double in 10 years...

Then just for fun, blow 10K to 15K on your car if you want. And bank the rest for unknown futures costs...
