I don't wanna go fixed and have the repayments capped...

What's a realistic variable rate to go for Hamish/others with lower variable rates than me?

I'll call em up and if I can't get it or near it I'll bite the bullet and change banks. Might move all my accounts, credit cards, insurance etc too

Just have a look around Dezz...

Ubank are offering 4.29% comparison. It's also a safe option as they are ALWAYS one of the lowest.

CBA won't do much to help. It's always worth asking if they can match Ubank, but it's a big jump.

They are good with minor pricing discretion, but half a % might be pushing it.

CBA don't WANT to be the cheapest, which is why they aren't. With CBA you get a service that other banks can't offer, but it is never the cheapest.

Still look into fixing dezz. With current rates it's the right time as it's only going up. Just need to find someone that offers a good fixed rate WITH a 100% offset account. Not all lenders do them but it gets around the extra repayments issue.

Just need to be 101% sure you aren't going to want to sell before the term is up.

I don't even know what the comparison rate means. If it's not the rate I'm getting, why are they quoting it?

What service is that exactly? I'm not unhappy with CBA, apart from wanting a lower rate, but apart from actually lending me the money, they don't really do anything else for me service wise..

Plan is to keep it as a rental if/when I move onto something bigger/better ...

I gather a fixed rate loan with a 100% offset account means my extra repayments may be capped, but I just put that money in the offset account which is the same as paying it straight onto the loan anyway?

At the moment I just put it on the loan (pretty much just use my home loan account as a savings account)

Comparison rate is the total of what you pay (fees, charges, interest) expressed as a percentage for the purpose of comparing products.

In a nutshell it is now a legal requirement to display it and it is the only figure you should be looking at in 99% of cases

Mostly fluffing... It's just that you walk into any CBA and you get served very quickly, loan apps are processed much faster etc.

it's nothing that you "need" however it's their business model and their shares are worth 11ty billion so it's unlikely to change in the near future.

Personally I don't care for "service" and am happy to go with a bank that takes longer but is cheaper.

Exactly... which is why most banks don't offer it, or if they do it's a 1 or 2 year deal only.

Just be sure to check the exit fee situation if they offer 12 months only as you may want to move once the welcome mat is pulled out from under you.

I rarely go to the branch, i'd say maybe once every month or two if that, and it's usually on an RDO so rarely busy anyway..

I'll have to call up and see what they'll offer... It'll drop to 4.75% on the 13th but pretty sure Tobes said he was getting like 4.45% before this latest cut

Yeah only got that low as I had in writing an offer from NAB

Otherwise I would be on about 4.65% i think (before recent rate cut)

I was on 4.55% less rate cut .22% = 4.33%

bitchs please..

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
