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.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
