briggers Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 as the title says. i possibly will be coming into a bit of money soon like 5 grand as my mums gonna pay all my credit card and loan off. i could ither clear it all off or keep lets say 2 grand.all in all i have about 4 grands debt due to mostly my car lol as i got the car on a loan. so my mum will still give me the 5 grand or she is going to help me move out and pay for me to have my own place on rent not the house lol but if that doesnt happen then she will ive me the 5 grand lump sum. im so tempted to put most of it back towards my debt and spend the money on the car what do you guys think and what would you get for 2 grand for your car with my mods as i have a front mount, blits dump, hks filter de-cat boost gauge the bodywork is fine as some might now, got alloys so would need to spend it on engine mods and handling. brakes are pretty shit at the mo so would probably get some discs and pads and sort the cv joints out but what else? excuse me for the essay lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ste91 Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Sort out all the problems and give it a service if it hasn't had one recently, then work on the brakes/handling, then power. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
briggers Posted June 10, 2008 Author Share Posted June 10, 2008 good advice. how much would a cambelt replacement and fitting usually cost. i do give it regular oil changes as most and only use v power petrol but what else could i do on my own which i would be able to handle as im no mechanic but would love to get round paying people to do the work on my car.

SpeedFreak Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 I am in the same position, as in having debts due to getting my car on a loan. But luckily I have no problem paying it off, and its under my mums name. But being as I know how much hassle it is forking out £100 a month for a debt, plus my lap top etc. I would use as much as possible to pay off any debts you have.Then what you have left over to put into your motor.I wouldnt waste time with the renting a house thing, simply because, if you do have debt it will be twice as hard to pay off that and rent a house. And the money will dissapear quickly. Renting costs alot, and you will find in the long run that its better to pay off any debts first. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paul w Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Do youself a favour and clear ALL your debt first! That is a very slippery slope once you are on it,so get off while you can,you'll hwve more money in the long run Then put the car straight with whats left. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
