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)

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.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
