Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

im looking to do it differently.

similar price bracket, but near on 50% deposit, because smaller loan means less interest to the bank.

It's why I want a 20% deposit. I can get away with only a 3% deposit, but I did the maths.

If I change the deposit from 10 to 20%, at my repayment rates, I delay purchasing the house buy 12 months, BUT I actually end up owning the house in 12 months less, meaning I pay the house off 2 years quicker then I would have before... If I'm paying it off 2 years early... Think of how much I'm saving straight up...

Reason I won't go for a bigger deposit, if I plan to stay where I am for an even longer period, I'll need to find my own place to rent, so while I am avoiding paying rent, that's going into savings and making the dream sooner... LOL

Debt shop. Move money around to lowest possible repayment figures. 0% credit cards and don't borrow anymore for a while. It reduces debt levels and increases good repayment history. Serviceable debt isn't the enemy, it's just people never plan for things like: what if I lost my job tomorrow.

agreed. Or other factors they could not foresee

if you have 20% or more you also can forgo the insurance for the deposit which you have to get if you go in on a tiny deposit.

Yep, I consolidated about 9K worth of debt maybe 3/4 months back onto a 0% credit card. Didn't make a single repayment on it for 6 odd weeks. In four weeks time it will be 100% paid off, and at the same time I'm clearing another personal loan. Unfortunately it's too large of a debt to shift onto a 0% credit card at this stage, but should be cleared by around April next year based on selling one of my cars.

its simple really. The bigger the deposit the better the Banks will love u!

Biggest hint... if ever Esanda try to put you in a new car and can only offer you silver rate, but will specially upgrade you to gold rate. say fu and ask for platinum or you walk lol

interesting

One good thing about debt is that it permits you to have more disposable income and buy things that you can enjoy whilst you don't have osteoarthritis and need a hip replacement :)

depends what u acquire through debt finance.............usually bricks and mortar

bricks and mortar always a wise investment. market in Sydney atm is a sellers paradise, but buyers worst nightmare. A buyer now is unlikely to make any short term gain. Invest in govt bonds.

Having said all this, I blow every last cent on stupid stuff. here's a case in point, I have it fixed in my head that I need an R34 GTR, but one that will appreciate over a long time. So I started looking for a Millenium jade nur m-spec. Then I get in contact with a mate who says that the Endless Drag GTR is available, essentially a highly modified 99 V-Spec. 82k imported, so I make a few calls and confirm. Now, most ppl would agree very cool car, but if that engine blows all you're left with just another white, blown motor 99 V-Spec. At this point most ppl come to their senses. Me, I think ohhhhh this one's fast, fcuk it I'll finance to lessen the risk. This is exactly why, I am the worst person to listen to for financial advice.

    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG is has not responded to my emails so far after purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
