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.

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
