What to do with $5000

Ok, so I'll soon be receiving about $5000 from my parents from my auto accident cause I was hit by a drunk driver. Anyways I was wondering what would be good to do to my car. I dont really want performance right now mainly cause im not into racing and I drive an auto. But, my car is all stock. I was gonna get some wheels for sure. So theres about $1500. And of course a CD player but is the 7" screen from alpine really worth the deal. I was thinkin ps2 also. And some new speakers. So theres abourt $3500-$4000. What should I go for for the rest of the money. Thanks guys....

How about fixing your car. If you have already, start going for the turbo kit.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

I'd say take a little and get ya some rims and maybe a cd player or something. I wouldn't go out and dump 5k into a civic for crying out loud. Get you a 4-wheeler or some clothes, maybe a new computer, just don't blow 5k on a civic though. That's my thoughts.

Well, if you already have all that stuff, who is paying for your car or did pay for it? How old are you? YOU could pay off your car. If you are going to have that much money so young, I would put almost all of it in the bank. I would save it to put a down payment on a house. I promise you that you won't regret it. Well, unless your parents will make the downpayment. But then again, you'll be way ahead financially. Don't listen to the people who work till they drop to spend till they drop. Buy yourself some stuff and bank the rest.

Get ur civic fixed. Sell it privately for $14,000-15,000. Then take all of your money and use it as a down payment on a better car. RSX Type S maybe???

I say save it until more after market parts come out for our cars, then you will have plenty to chose from, OR just save it for a newer better car

I second that. Send me some of that money. It would put a dent in my loan repayments.
BTW, sivikchik, I like your avitar logo.

Suggestion #1: Go to this link!

Suggestion #2: Buy me a new ECM so I can get my car back on the road.

Since neither of those are going to happen, do what ever you like!!!
