Negative gearing. Claim it against your vwlbc income.

Great deals will see 2% on a factory deals. most will do 5.5ish if you haggle over the rate. So the ultimate cost vs pulling money out of mortgage is ~1-2%

I used to think many cars on the road were owned, but when you consider how many are company or fleet and then the privately owned cars of which a big deal would be financed, there's probably very little actual cash in them.

Just trips me out when I talk to people about expenses and they mention their car payments. I've never had one under finance, probably never will because I thought it was uncommon practice, even though it isn't lol

I've been looking at loan %'s and repayments etc because the Mrs needs $20k in dental done and doesn't have the cash. All in all, the lender doesn't make a huge amount of money out of it... Like if I was giving someone $20k I'd want more back than that lol.

Generally if a car company is offering finance that is extraordinary low (i.e.) RBA cash rate low then they are making up the margin via other areas. I.e. Less of a discount on the purchase price of the car.

Sometimes you gotta check the fine print... Like some dental is covered, some (and usually a lot) isn't.

She had a bridge done by someone and its lasted a bit over 2 years. New dentist/specialist saying to go back to the other guy and demand some of the money back... Does that actually work??

Now needs bridge redone plus more work, and basic extras health insurance doesn't cover major dental.

 

 

once you take away the gold false teeth the price drops to about $2k, but wheres the fun in that?

I asked if dentures were an option and they said that you need teeth to hold dentures in... no teeth = no dentures.

Man, crypto trading is to Jackass what the ASX is to Bob Ross. It really is a new gold rush.
The fact that Coinbase newcomers can jack up the price on Litecoin and Ethereum just because bitcoin is taking Coinbase too long to process... It's insane.

    • If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.
    • This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).
    • I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.
    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
