I always tell my friends, Don't buy a car that is a color you don't want.

Option 3 isn't the end of the world, there are so many cool cars to drive. I'd go for an RSX, ~$7k ($10k at a dealer), more reliable than taxes, same gas mileage as FRS, less insurance, and you won't take a huge hit on resale in a couple years (especially in your area), especially if you get an S. Keep it stock, it'll sell better.
Edit: I also don't think that the 2015 will be any faster, nor the 2016, but it'll probably be heavier and more feature laden, pick up an orange '13 for < $20k that's been proven reliable once all your debt is paid off, you'll feel less guilty beating on it as well.

pay off the credit card debt. How ever, contradicting to everyone here, I would advise you to NOT pay off the student loan.
Assuming you just graduated and have a job, the interest from loan can be write off as tax reduction. Paying off all debt of student loan also means closing some of your longest standing account, which, ironically, will reduce your credit by a shocking large amount (my credit dropped by 50 points simply from consolidation). If you just graduate and have a stable, decent paying job, paying off student loan immediately is simply not a priority. The same money you use to pay off loan can go to your house fund.

Option 4. $6700 would make one hell of a night to remember.

Yeah dude, pay off that debt and save
 That's what I'm doing. Personally I find the accomplishment of paying off my student loans/and put myself through school more rewarding than getting the frs. I'll be debt free and have a good amount saved to either get the 2015 model or 2014 10 series or err 11 series? Lol I know what features I want, push to start/snazzy extras so that will end up swaying me in which one to get. Just wait, it's not going anywhere. |
