I personally feel that
Copeac, etc is pretty much the same damn thing as ebay partner network (epn). At it's basic level, they are all ads that bring in revenue. For your site, I personally like the option of giving car related ads from aff networks better. Ads can target insurance, loans, etc pretty easily from a decent network. Do that and drop some adsense (less is more) in place and your monetization is up to par.

IMHO, directories are a good addition to a mature link building campaign, not a replacement for one. For this test you have a month to make money ... most free directories (which is what they will submit to) won't even review your site in that amount of time.
My best suggestion for links would be to A> comment on some digg, sphinn or reddit stories that are blogs that allow links on your name. Spiders frequent these places and will know your site exists almost immediately. B> pick up a sig link somewhere (like dp or hopefully a car forum) for $10 / ~500 posts.
Doing the above 2 things will get your site noticed and help bring in a few visitors so you can start looking at your log files and optimizing the site. Thats when you will really know how best to get more traffic and monetize the traffic you have.
