If the siding on your house needs replaced now replace it. Why buy a new car if it's still reliable, and do you really need a hdtv?
Why not save or invest your money?
I would shop around on the siding. If this is the way you go.
If you save your money you can afford a better car or finance less and in the end pay less for the car.
The hdtv is a luxury as far as I can tell. |

#3 - The siding would protect your house, too, which could prevent more costly damage. Improving your home's value is a great idea!! |

Do you have any equity in your home? Get a home equity line of credit, pay for the siding, buy a new car cash and get your tv. Then consult your accountant because the interest on the heloc would be tax deductible. then you can take your original $3,000 and send it to me for giving you such a good idea... |

The fact that you are asking other people for advice of which one of the 3 things to pick means that none of the 3 are an absolute necessity.
I think you should put the money in a savings account for now. Then you will have it when you truly need it. For example, if you spend all the money on the siding, and the next week your car breaks down, where will you get the money to fix it?
As for the TV, you might get good use out of a bigger TV, but there is no need to go to a plasma TV. You can buy a really good 29" or 35" TV for less than $500, and save the rest. |

If you get new siding, your energy bill will be smaller and your house will appreciate in value. After the project, you can refinance and use some of the positive equity for the car downpayment or for the tv. |

Number 3 as it would obviously increase the value of your house. Consider it money in your pocket in the short term sense. The tv and car depreciates in value as soon you buy them. The tv quicker than the car. |

Siding, if your current siding is in that bad a shape, it'll increase your home value, and you'll be happier seeing a nice looking home when you arrive. I'd try for a couple more estimates also. |

I think siding should definately come first. The other 2 things aren't necessaties, siding pretty much is. As a bonus, keeping your house up will save you money in the long run. |

that depends on if something happens to your car, do you have another source of transportation? If you do, then I would go for the siding. that will keep your electric bill down and you could save the money saved from that to buy a good tv with surround sound. |

Pay for siding. Get better bid. Go to any new construction site and ask people who work there. Do not look in the paper. I made money by getting job of the paper add and selling to someone who will do the work. So.... be smart.
Then refinance the house and buy what you want |

The long term choice is siding adding value to your home. Car would be second and last choice should be tv. |
