Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

im looking to do it differently.

similar price bracket, but near on 50% deposit, because smaller loan means less interest to the bank.

It's why I want a 20% deposit. I can get away with only a 3% deposit, but I did the maths.

If I change the deposit from 10 to 20%, at my repayment rates, I delay purchasing the house buy 12 months, BUT I actually end up owning the house in 12 months less, meaning I pay the house off 2 years quicker then I would have before... If I'm paying it off 2 years early... Think of how much I'm saving straight up...

Reason I won't go for a bigger deposit, if I plan to stay where I am for an even longer period, I'll need to find my own place to rent, so while I am avoiding paying rent, that's going into savings and making the dream sooner... LOL

Debt shop. Move money around to lowest possible repayment figures. 0% credit cards and don't borrow anymore for a while. It reduces debt levels and increases good repayment history. Serviceable debt isn't the enemy, it's just people never plan for things like: what if I lost my job tomorrow.

agreed. Or other factors they could not foresee

if you have 20% or more you also can forgo the insurance for the deposit which you have to get if you go in on a tiny deposit.

Yep, I consolidated about 9K worth of debt maybe 3/4 months back onto a 0% credit card. Didn't make a single repayment on it for 6 odd weeks. In four weeks time it will be 100% paid off, and at the same time I'm clearing another personal loan. Unfortunately it's too large of a debt to shift onto a 0% credit card at this stage, but should be cleared by around April next year based on selling one of my cars.

its simple really. The bigger the deposit the better the Banks will love u!

Biggest hint... if ever Esanda try to put you in a new car and can only offer you silver rate, but will specially upgrade you to gold rate. say fu and ask for platinum or you walk lol

interesting

One good thing about debt is that it permits you to have more disposable income and buy things that you can enjoy whilst you don't have osteoarthritis and need a hip replacement :)

depends what u acquire through debt finance.............usually bricks and mortar

bricks and mortar always a wise investment. market in Sydney atm is a sellers paradise, but buyers worst nightmare. A buyer now is unlikely to make any short term gain. Invest in govt bonds.

Having said all this, I blow every last cent on stupid stuff. here's a case in point, I have it fixed in my head that I need an R34 GTR, but one that will appreciate over a long time. So I started looking for a Millenium jade nur m-spec. Then I get in contact with a mate who says that the Endless Drag GTR is available, essentially a highly modified 99 V-Spec. 82k imported, so I make a few calls and confirm. Now, most ppl would agree very cool car, but if that engine blows all you're left with just another white, blown motor 99 V-Spec. At this point most ppl come to their senses. Me, I think ohhhhh this one's fast, fcuk it I'll finance to lessen the risk. This is exactly why, I am the worst person to listen to for financial advice.

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
