sam5709 Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 well my nanna left me a bit of money to spend on what makes me happy the most when she passed away, hence why im not spending the money on investments etc i was pretty set on an s15 but after reading bulk info on them i dont know if i want one lol so the next idea was to think about getting an r34 gtt, they look aggressive and get decent power out of them, or another idea i was thinking about was just putting all the money straight into the car i have now to make it faster i still have a bit of time to decide so your input would be great. and yes i know, why should i be asking everyone for their opinion when im going to be the one driving the car and spending the money etc but just tell me what you think anyway Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/160204-what-to-do-with-the-20-grand/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

r33skyflyin Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 hey 20k later, and i wish id invested my money, rather then all engine work. do the smart thing, 20k wont finish the car off anyways, and you will need to continue to put more money into it to ever finish it.

J_R32 Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 alot of us on here are in either mid or hell even early 20's. there's a time and place for everything..and with the housing situation set to worsen if u listen to news and crap...i'd agree with dan. invest it. there's plenty of time later to play with cars my 2c Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/160204-what-to-do-with-the-20-grand/#findComment-2974199 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTS-t VSPEC Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Sam, Alot of us here have spent huge money on our cars, and while we all love cars, I'm sure in hindsight we probably wouldn't do the same thing again. Learn from our mistakes, and invest it. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/160204-what-to-do-with-the-20-grand/#findComment-2974209 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topaz Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 I would look at house prices and consider my options, if its too soon for moving out and your pay can't meet repayments invest it and wait a few months/years Don't put this sort of money into your car in 1 hit, its not a good way to use 'free' money Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/160204-what-to-do-with-the-20-grand/#findComment-2974382 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam5709 Posted March 13, 2007 Author Share Posted March 13, 2007 mm driving to reece had me thinking, the way it is now i cant make up my mind, im guessing i would probably end up saying ohh i wish i didnt go with this decicion blah blah blah, im not really going to be looking at a house, but as of now mayb just leave it in the bank till i can make a decent resonable decision, and when i think about it the car i have now is decent enough dont ya think lol Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/160204-what-to-do-with-the-20-grand/#findComment-2974394 Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTS-t VSPEC Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Sam, Yep, leave it in the bank on a term deposit, so you don't access it all the time, and you'll make some decent interest Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/160204-what-to-do-with-the-20-grand/#findComment-2974439 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bok boK GuN Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Spending all of it on car would make u happy now.. but few years later i guess u will change ur mind that is, unless 20grand to u is just like the market value of 20 dollars..then its a different story Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/160204-what-to-do-with-the-20-grand/#findComment-2975417 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shayde Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 So glad there is so much sense here Put it into a savings account and let the money accumulate interest. Just don't touch it. Or actually invest it, but don't throw it into a money pit.
