what's the better option

1. small personal loan (~$5k) for a car (through CBA)

2. refinance or whatever the correct term is, my home loan to get an extra $5k (if that's even possible). My current home loan interest rate is 5.97%

go

Wait a few months and save. Unless you're going to pay the loan of quickly there's no point in paying fees and interest. And if u can pay it off that quickly u may as well just save and not bother with the hassle.

It'll be a little hard to refi the mortgage for an extra 5k

Then I'd probably be applying for a credit card or increasing the limit if u currently have one. Just pay it off when u can and drop the limit. Personal loan will only be a few % cheaper if u can find a low rate card. Paying it off in a couple of months and your done

Will also take more than a week for some banks to get a loan where as a credit card limit increAse would be overnight in most cases

Got a 10k limit on my credit card... But think for cash advances the interest rate is stupid high...Don't know coz I've never used cash advance.

Might be an option considering most personal loans charge a fee if u pay it off within the first 12 months...

Hamish & Andy, insider opinion?

Yeh it will be a difference if you make a purchase of a car from a car yard as such. Then there is no cash advance as its a purchase.

There are heaps of yards that have cars for under 5k with onroads included

Lee cousin's mate is selling a blue r6 same as that one should be able to get it for ~8k maybe even less it's '07 but

Lemme know if you want details

Depends how many KMs on it, prefer 08 and newer due to revised engine but if the price is right.. what else can you tell me about it? bikepoint link ?

Is it that really that much of a hassle to refinance your home loan?

Say difference in interest rate is 6% for a personal loan, @ $5,000

It's only going to cost you about $25p/m

Yeh with justifying what the $5k is for since it most banks will want it to be for the house. Then valuations and all that shit, contract refi fees etc. PITA for just 5k..

Personal loan at 6%? Lol where?

Instead of a cash advance you could always send it to your paypal account then withdraw into your bank account.

Listening to RACV battery service guy talk crap to my mum about there being no difference between Lexus SC400 and Toyota Soarers and how they are both made by TRD...do correct or let ignorance slide?

Do u have redraw or offset account on ya mortgage you could tap? As said not worth refinancing for but then personal loan is higher rates and payout fees etc

Lovin the Audi so far and iphone5 oh how much better it is!

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
