$1700 should I get a iMac or a car?

But there is a dilemma, see $1700 is a good deal of money, and right now i am running on a Dell laptop that has slowed to a crawl, and gets the blue screen of death about every 4 months.

I own a car, a 2001 Hyundai Accent, it only has about 80000 miles, it runs great but I suspect the transmission is finally going. When I purchased the car I knew it wouldnt be a keeper, just something really cheap, until I can afford a certified preowned.

If I get the computer, then I will have a nice computer, and I might not make that money back until june-ish, but in that same time I could double that, and be that much closer to getting the car i want

get a decent comp for about $700 and invest the other $1000 in a future car.skullkrusher13

best possible scenario

^^ what he said.

Your not going to get a very good car for $1700 so as others have said spend $700 on a decent laptop and save the $1000 for a future car purchase. TheMadGamer

Yeah seriuosly, my computer cost less than that iMac, 450 dollars in upgrades, and I'm playing Crysis on my HDTV. Seriously, the iMac is a rip off if you are comparing it to a car.
