Default Poll: Should I buy Heads/Intake or Pay car off Now

Will be coming into a little money and enough to pay off the Bird or buy Heads and Fast intake. I want Tony Mamo to do the work. Port and Mill AFR heads to 62cc and Fast intake. What should I do Thanks?

I am thinking that with the AFR Heads and New Fast intake, I should be just over 450 rwhp.

Well I don't know what you should do Ahhhhhhhhh
But I still owe $3300 on my Z06 so when my tax refund arrives I'll be puttin it towards the note so I can one day see my pink slip.
I know it's tempting to run to the phone or your local speed deeler and order that H/C package we've been dreaming about.
Peace out !

as i see it, it would really suck with your car getting repo if you spent a bunch of money in it.

nothing feels better than paying off a vehicle (excpet for paying off a house) but at 21 i dont have any experience with that. pay it off then start modding it.

i went the other way around... i still owed $2k on my T/A when i first bought it, i bought headers, lid, and all sorts of stupid ****. After that it took awhile to pay off my car, but the day you do it u feel so good about it. And its been 6 mo now and i saved up for a cam package that i just purchased.....

pay the car off first

i would have to say do the right thing and pay the car off then u know its 100% ur car. then if u run into problems down the road(which hopefully u dont) and dont have the money to finish paying it off, u wont have to worry about losing the car. mods can always be done down the road

Don't be afraid to mod the thing now. I've had all the mods in my sig done since Oct. 2007 and I still owe 11 more months on the car as of March 2009. If you KNOW you have a secure job and won't get laid off or anything, go for the mods. The only way I'd put down a chunk of money like that is if it will pay it off completely and you won't get some sort of ****-fee for paying it off early. I looked into paying my **** off early also, but if I pay it off anytime before 6 months left in the 60 month loan they hit me with a $300 early termination fee. (Basically another month's payment.) Rather then eat $300 I really didn't want to just give away not to have a car note I did some mods.

How much do you owe left on your loan and is there an early pay off fee? Those are the real questions that will give you the right answer.

Pay off the car before you loose your job and it gets repo'd (it can happen)

Pay it off. Then take the amount you were paying on the loan and save it for the H/C package.

Yeah man, nothing better than 'owning' your car. Im sure it took you a while saving up, but you can always save up again and then mod the hell outta it.
