1. Pay most of my scoob off leaving me with a couple of payments
2. Spend it on the car leaving me with all my repayments but a quicker car
3. Pay most of my scoob off leaving me with next to nothing and go and buy an STi Type UK
4. Or just let it rot in the bank

Sensible head would say "how much is your interest on the loan costing you" then take it from there regarding whether to let it fester in the bank or not.

Personally, if I had a wedge of cash, I'd pay the car off then start saving for mods. Or an STI.

PS - I am not in any way qualified to give any advice whatsoever!

If it is like many car loans it possibly has front loaded interest which means you have probably paid most of the interest already and paying it off will save you little - worth getting a settlement figure. And then buy a bigger turbo

If the amount you got was the same as my bonus I'd get the STi. The sticker that is, would'nt run to the car as well.
Oh dear.
