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.

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
