what will you do with $100k?

wstar · 09-05-2011, 08:44 PM

Yeah with 100K suddenly appearing, paying off any existing car notes and/or putting most of it down paying off the rest of a house note would be priority 1. Assuming you don't have a car note to worry about and fully own your primary residence....

I'd probably pay AM Performance to give my 370Z some of their basic royal treatment (strip the car down and seam weld it and cage it, like they did for their racecars), and then go nuts on other racing upgrades for it (aero, lightweight body stuff, suspension). Maybe a GTM supercharger kit too while you're at it. And save a chunk to pay for a continuous supply of tires and track incidents

Pay off current car and invest most of the rest into real estate.

kenchan · 09-05-2011, 09:05 PM

$100K... yah, i will probably save it until im due for my next dd and then spend maybe $40K and save the rest.

By a fun DD, throw a bit at the Z and buy a house.

zmyride · 09-06-2011, 02:20 PM

If i have only $100k i would save and invest.
If i have to buy a car with $100K, i would get an M3 or Cayman S.

If i have over $100k, i would get a Porsche 911.

pay off car, pay a huge chunk off the house and refinance. By eliminating/decreasing those bills by that much, I could possibly pay off the house soon and have no serious bills. Then saving for toys would be gravy.

Pay off all my debt!

Well, I'm sorry, the mortgage steals over a third of my livelihood each month. It's kinda hard to pretend that bill's not there.

Yeah but the question is more of a hypothetical situation, not your current one. So what would you get if your house was paid off?

STD's from countless prostitutes.

Beach property. Those things can pay for themselves if you play your cards right.

^^^ LOL.

If $100K dropped on my lap, no mortgage - we'd get the pool we're planning on now and finish landscaping the rest of the 1/2 acre lot. That would probably wipe most of it out.

However, if I had my way, it would go to a used ('09/'10) Audi R8 4.2; and I'd DD it.

Since many of you in the forum are into cars like me, so I want to get some feedbacks about the future plan.
Below are some options, (assuming no kids and house paid off)

1. Buy a $100k worth car (M5, GTR, 998s, used GT3, etc)
2. Buy next M3/Cayman R and get a DD.
3. Just buy the next Z and save money for the future incidents or invest
4. Buy Z/Evo/Sti and spend massive money on tuning for the weekend car and buy a DD
5. other opinions?

Hope you guys are enjoying labor day weekend!

Buy a Z.

Use extra money to buy gold, gold I tell you!
