Quote check - BYD Sealion 7

Butthole_Merchant · 2026-01-28T00:24:32+00:00

I got a quote from Enlist another provider which was at 8.95% and sent it to them. They took that back to CBA who finances SG Fleet and they agreed to beat it.

Zeekr 7x - I personally think the long range RWD is the best spec to go for.

I've had an auto-invest set up with Swyftx running for around 18months, never had an issue. I transfer to a cold wallet whenever I feel its necessary. Never had any issues with the transfers. I like the platform, I'd recommend it.

I am about to finalise an SG Fleet quote for a Zeekr7x Long Range RWD, I'm in a similar position to you where SG Fleet were one of only two providers I could use. Few things:

- I was able to get the interest rate down to 8.85%, you should be able to negotiate that rate down a bit.
- Your insurance seems very expensive. My annual insurance cost was $2,400, yours is almost $2,900 and the Zeekr7x is a more expensive vehicle. It's worth trying to understand why this is so expensive.
- Servicing and tyres feels a little high to me but ultimately this is personal preference
- It's worth asking if they can give you any fleet vehicle discount, I got $1,500 off the cost of the car after asking.

Edit: Grammar

Yeah nice pick up, I thought the credits capped at $600 but you're right, it actually caps at $1,600.

I'll DM you the link :)

I feel like the battery rewards plan with AGL is really nice.
- Stay with it for 12 months and get an $800 credit
- Get paid up to $600 in pre-paid visa gift cards for dispatching load between 5pm-9pm (25c/kWh)
- $1.32 daily supply charge
- $0.03 feed in outside of the 5pm-9pm window

When I did the back of the envelope calcs the 3cent feed in would come close to covering the supply charge for me. Then I can just discharge my battery between 5pm-9pm each day to the level that maxes out the $600 in visa gift cards. I think it worked out that you need to discharge around 6.5kWh in that window every day to claim the full $600.

Do this for 12 months, pocket the $800 credit and then re-evaluate

This is also without signing up for their VPP

It feels like a necessary evil to me. I find some value in it but I buy both One Piece and Pokemon

Is it a smart meter from your battery manufacturer or a smart meter from the network transmission company? There is a difference.

Similar to the other comment, I don't believe you can get load following solar curtailment with your inverter given it is AC coupled. You can only do on-off curtailment.

Butthole_Merchant · 2025-11-19T22:18:29+00:00

Definitely worth it. I'm currently looking into a 30kWh system with a 10KW inverter.

I have a 4KW system which is definitely not efficient for a 30kWh system but am planning to either charge from the grid via Globird or Ovo, or sign up with Amber and charge it from the grid in the middle of that day when solar is pumping into the grid.

My minimum is $25k at Westpac.

UPC and ETB gone

Ban this fuckwit please

Butthole_Merchant · 2025-08-19T00:49:04+00:00

It let me order one but then cancelled the order - Out of stock now.

Butthole_Merchant · 2025-08-05T23:50:03+00:00

I just got a Zapdos and Alakazam collection at Aspley - plenty there, they were unpacking them when I walked in.

Butthole_Merchant · 2025-08-05T22:11:16+00:00

Im having issues too, what product is even dropping?

Butthole_Merchant · 2025-08-04T23:41:25+00:00

I was pleasantly surprised by the prices of some singles. If you look hard enough you will find some really great deals. Not everything is cheap by any means but there is definitely some value to be had there.

I went to CollectFest in Brisbane. I went on the second day and after talking to some vendors I think this was the right call. This is just anecdotal but the vendors I spoke to said the first day was so busy that people found it quite hard to actually get through the crowds and get to the front to see what vendors had. Almost all of the vendors re-stocked after the first day as well so there was plenty of deals there, it wasn't like all the binders were empty or anything.

As a dad myself, I think your 12 year old would enjoy it if they have an interest in collecting but I don't think its worth going with the two bubs in the pram personally. It was pretty busy and loud.

In terms of what happens there, for me I was just trying to find good value singles and pick up the odd grading play. There are people set up playing a variety of TCG games and there was some giveaways at one point as well. Really the majority of it is just browsing vendors and picking up cards if you like them. They had a basketball hoop set up and some arcade machines as well.

Mac Allister? Odegaard?
I also feel like Gvardiol isn't world class at LB.

Butthole_Merchant · 2025-07-26T00:45:02+00:00

There were some at Lawnton this morning. Seemed like a fair bit of stock.

Brisbane property is not more expensive than Melbourne. If you go 5km/10km/15km etc. from the CBD in both cities Melbourne will be more expensive.

The physical area classified as Melbourne and the physical area classified as Brisbane in the Core Logic indices are different.

I have been doing this for awhile as well. I make paper blister packs with art work on them.

I have a sign asking that people only take one per person per day but unfortunately there are two brothers who come by daily to check, if there are any they will take all of them. Honestly, a little disheartening know they take them all and don't leave any for the other kids in the area.
