Loans are the devil.

Try hit up a family member for a loan, work something out with them and sign some forms etc. Much cheaper, easier and hey atleast your giving like 5% (or whatever interest rate you guys work out) to a family member instead of throwing it at a bank which makes 2 billion dollars profit in 4 months.

I've had 2 recent loans with both National & St George. I found National are the quickest + at the time they were waiving the application fee. St George have been a bit slow lately with both approvals + processing.. i.e. you call the processing dept and wait like 15-20 mins. Probably check the interest rates though.

I got a $25k loan with my parents as a guarentour (sp?) so my repayments only have about 8.5% interest :(. The money is automatically transfered from my account to my parents either instantly or a day or so before the payment is made to the bank....

Good place to check out interest rates is www.infochoice.com.au

Usually have trouble getting a loan for an import for two reasons:

1) age (generally over the 3/5/8 year old maximum age for a car under loan purchase)

2) it's an import

You get a personal loan then spend it on whatever you want.

Car loans are like mortgages. They won't accept imports because they won't want to sell them.

Personal loans are not guaranteed, so attract a higher rate of interest but you get to do what you like with the cash.

If you can't sort out a cheap rate for yourself you should probably not sign anything yourself and ask your parents to help you... (assuming they know how to shop around)

I met with St. Goerge today, interest rate is about 11.5%

They do both fixed and variable loans, the fixed means that the rate won't change (duh) but if you pay the loan off early, you incurr additional fee's.

The variable allows the rate to fluctuate but it almost never does much either way.

The majority of loans done are on variable terms.

I'm meeting with CPS tomorrow as i think they are doing about an 8.5% variable.

I'm having to shop around, as being purely on commission i'm hard to finance.

    • Maybe it's time for a M3 F80 LCI, and leave it stock.  Drive it to a shop, sip on your latte with nutmeg whilst it gets serviced and on the way home swing by and grab some chai mix for the evening.
    • Great work! Thanks for documenting the process.
    • How would you even adjust the clutch if the pedal already has the correct free play? The operating cylinder has no adjustment in mounting position or rod length. On pull style clutches there is also no ability to adjust the bearing carrier. Push type I can see how adjusting the carrier height makes it all work.   If this is the twin plate clutch did you verify that your friction disks were oriented correctly? It's not mentioned in the directions at all you just have to notice that one side the friction disks have a part number on the hub fingers and a subtle coning to those fingers. Another thing that I noticed was if you put the friction disks in backwards the pressure plate fingers will not be even and flat when the clutch is installed.
    • yeah, mechanically, it is probably do-able, off the top of my head, there would be the transfer case, which I believe will bolt up to the rear of the RWD transmission, the shorter rear tail shaft. A front drive shaft, front diff, engine upper sump, front drive shafts, front hubs and front AWD struts (they are shaped around the front drive shafts), LCAs (at the very least from the front suspension) oil cooler.  You might want the rear diff from an AWD too, so you can be certain the front and rear diff rations are identical.  Who knows what brackets and mounts you might need.  So a whole doner car might be the best option if you need to maintain RHD. Then actually making it work, that would be a whole different story.
