Isn't there new stamp duty advantages coming in July? 

Missed out on these

Buy contract has to be signed after July

I still get 50% off though, and in the scheme of capital growth it wasn't worth waiting a few months / passing up the perfect property to save more stamp duty

I agree with my broker who rationalised that with no stamp duty for FHB will come more competition from other FHBs plus a possible increase in the prices of cheaper properties because of this, negating stamp duty savings. Or...more to the point: my time could have been best to buy while everyone else is waiting for 100% stamp duty savings, as my competition was mostly non-first home buyers and not many at that, due to the more first home buyer friendly price range I bought in.

After months of looking and some offers, I came to the conclusion that you do your research (growth, prices etc.), ultimately pay what the property is worth to you, and as long as you can service the loan the rest doesn't matter!

100% agree, when the right property comes up and if you can afford..just do it

But is your name an easy couple of characters one or does it have like 7 characters making it all but impossible for someone that only speaks English to know how to pronounce it?

Or is this even after it has been romanised?

Who was it that posted that consumer law stuff about warranty not mattering, product working for a reasonable period of time etc...
What would be a reasonable period of time on an oven (residential)

0Bk6_d.gif

Probably a few years; I don't know much about oven expectations. Where consumer law usually favours people is with short warranties like 12 months etc. Ultimately what matters is what you can argue is reasonable at VCAT should you take it that far - if your time is worth more to you then just try your luck at getting repair out of manufacturer or suck it up / buy a new one.

But yeah, back in the workshop days we had at least one case of someone who lunched their gearbox outside of warranty and when the new laws came in we had to replace it because they expected it to last longer.

    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
