Credit card - then do balance transfer to low interest credit card transfer deal

e.g. http://www.citibank.com.au/aus/credit_cards/cards_platinum.htm

Just don't use the card for anything else. Shop around for other deals though, the citibank card has a $250 a year fee

Still can't believe they offered one once with 3.99 for the life of the transfer

Would a Victorian unregistered vehicle permit be valid in nsw? So I can drive my car from the hotel to the show n shine

Also remember a unreg permit is meant to be only for getting things done to register your car.

So if you get pulled over up the Hume, you will have a lot of explaining to do, and if not sufficient permit goes and you call a tow truck.

Hambo - 2 days this week doing 6hr shifts in a kitchen - knocked the stuffing outta me, but must admit I'm highly enjoying it.

Will get used to it in a few weeks no doubt.

Cant wait to get open!

hahaha so in total you did 1 average day (well only if there was no break) ;)

opening you own place you will probably end up doing 80-100 hrs a week untill it's making cash back. EOTD every 40/w you d is 50k a year that you aren't paying somone else to do it .

we still need to have that drink... you free this week?

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?

Personal loan is the safest option.

atm westpac are offering a 12.9% from memory.

dont go the cash out then balance transfer method, as you will then have 3 x enquires on your veda report within a year and the balance transfer might get knocked back.

what is the story with your homeloan? is there an interest only portion? cos if there is i'd be staying away from excess credit until this is over as the loan will be reviewed at when it reverts to principle and interest.

personal loan is the safest option if a 5k redraw is not available to you.

just remember that every redraw will be visibale to a banker when you wish to restructure the product, and as such you always want to keep this at a minimum.

with a credit card you have to be more vigilant and make sure the payments are made on time, not early, not late and if you pay just the minimums on 5k you will be paying that for approx 15 years, whereas a personal loan will be 5-7

yes they are, on their flexi loan til the end of the year

He already has the CC though, so should be one less? Probably my circumstances, but never had any issues with my report to date.

Yeah, fkers, late fee for paying early :-/

It's not a late fee for paying early, it's because interest is calculated monthly, so if you pay early then your payment will count towards the previous month and technically you haven't paid the current month... Jus made a double pay for the previous month.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
