What to do....

Ok heres the thing. I have a 2005 Evo that I still owe. I recently just parted it out(GT35R,AEM,INJ,UICP,TiAL,etc.) thinking I was gonna trade it in for my BMW 335i. Well BMW screwed me over. Long story. My reasons were that its not the best daily driver car,and I need to get into something with less attention. So my plans were for the 335i or another nice BMW. Im about to deploy to Iraq for at least a year. I was recently thinking of paying extra towards the car while im gone and paying it off and then saving and put a huge downpayment on my BMW and special order one. I wish I would have thought of this before I got rid of my setup.

So pay off Evo and have my girlfriends BMW and mine and have the Evo as my weekend fun car? Pay it off and sell it and pocket all that money?

After my part out I still have Greddy IC/RSR cat-back exhaust,JDM rear,HKS 272s,255lph fuel pump. So its gonna be a whole new car. I just like having a weekend fun car as well. But also just want to get rid of it. Im stuck,lol.

Thats a lot of money to be spending on a military salary. Might I suggest you ditch the car payments and start having your money work for you - put it into a Roth IRA.
