congrats. if i were you, i would spend 40-50k max on a car and save the rest for when you graduate. possibly a down payment on a house. either way, have funwith your winnings and congrats again.

it amazes me how 80% of the replies are about buying a car!
OP, get a house. You'll never be a better position to make a comfortable life for yourself. You can buy a house cash or put 50% down, rent it out and nevercome out of pocket and get paid your 50% back in no time with the rent.
A car with 170K of "free" money is very dangerous. You'll surely end up getting something double or triple of the 20-30k you want to use.

Get the car you want since you want it so bad. Just make a smart choice and don't drop like insane amount. Then if it was me I'd get a condo orsomething in NYC or w/e big city you are close to with a good down payment. Then I'd rent it out as I finish school and use the rent money to pay off themortgage. In this state of economy people are renting more so you will have someone looking to rent in a big city always. The rest I would put it away in a lowrisk investment and let it mature. That's just me though, so do what you think is best.

Like a month ago my boy won 3 G's from a 3 dollar ticket.
So me and my other friend were gettin drunk, so we went to the shell and bought 2 tickets each. He had to grab some more beer so i was the first to purchasethe tickets. I ended up winning 60 he won like 4. I didnt get hooked because i know that how they get you. On big win, and then 2 months later no big wins.lol. But sometimes i buy em randomly if im feeling lucky, just to go along with my chips and drink.

David is Godly?David has no goddamn sense.
Anyways, with the $8 grand tax credit as part of the stimulus plan plus the record low mortgage rates. This is a GREAT time to buy a house.
Another idea is to buy a house and put $50K down, then put 10-15K towards a car and kept the other 35-40K as a safety net.
Put 50k down on your shammy 100k house. Your previous job of working at some office 12$ a hr not going to pay any loans off. at 800$ a month rate.
According to your budget you will spend more money on car and "safety net"
I should kick you.
I don't know where ya'll living. I live in NYC. Houses cost a brick. Moving from Cali to TX is not "doing it." If anything, thast not doing it.
Ok kiddo. When you're old enough to do your own taxes, you'll learn some things like deducting mortgage interest and tax credits.
I don't know what your definition of "doing it" is but having a house, car, and money in the bank is "doing it" to most adults.(regardless of what state you live in)

The reason these cars are so cheap is that they usually have baggage. Most, if not all have a salvaged title. Second, they are not certified which means "what you see is what you get". Finally, these cars do not have warranty. Do not buy a luxury car at an auction. What you save, you will pay out of your pockets when it comes time to service or repair your vehicle.
Good luck trying to sell a car with a salvage title.
ummm, no, they dont have salvaged titles.
