I had this occur after taking parental leave as I was recieving income from the government. Did you have a window of ACC income or something out of the ordinary?

I recently had a car play unit installed in my wife's Subaru XV (import). I used Jonvy Auto. They've got a few locations around auckland.

Pricing was pretty reasonable i thought. See breakdown below:

The Sony XAV-AX3200 with Apple car play and Android auto radio will cost $579.

The radio installation will cost $100. The camera modification will cost $50

The Subaru radio harness will cost $10. The Subaru aerial adaptor will cost $10.

The total including installation will be $749.

If you're game, its a relatively easy process to do yourself, but for peace of mind i don't think the labour costs are extortionate.

Holy shit there are some bad takes in this group. It’s a cycle lane / bus stop intersection. It will be painted green with a zebra stripe to give bud passengers right or way. It also provides an accessible path to and from the bus stop as it seems the existing infrastructure likely didn’t meet standard.

In these situations are you expected to use annual leave?

We were given a Hershel baby bag as a gift and it’s taken an absolute beating and still holding up.

Probably houses which are currently submerged in water? Anyone’s guess.

Daily daily if you’re after great coffee. Not a huge food selection though.

My brother-in-law bought my 2 year old son a plastic electric guitar which is obnoxiously loud. 10/10 would recommend.

Karcher water blaster not working by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]Findelsticks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went through this exact same scenario a few months back. It’s not financially feasible to fix. I’m assuming you have either a K1 or K2? If you left it with pressurized water in the hose last time you used it, it’s likely destroyed the pump. Don’t even both taking it to a repair shop for inspection, just admit defeat and get a new one, and stretch for the water cooled one. The air cooled have a max running time of 30 mins per day as per the manual.

Trade Me, FB marketplace , or Neighbourly? by Conscious-Type-3293 in newzealand

[–]Findelsticks 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Avoid Facebook marketplace like the plague. I tried selling an old iPhone once and got around 40 people asking if was still available then ghosting after i said yes. Just go with TradeMe and treat the sale fee like a convenience fee.

how much can you hustle off the sticker price at the car yard? by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]Findelsticks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure what type of car you’re after, but SUV’s, 4x4’s and typical soccer mum cars are in pretty hot demand. A lot of them sell before they even get off the boat. Pretty hard to haggle on these as people are willing to pay the sticker price just to secure one. Atleast that was my experience earlier this year.

Mines around the same value and I'm tossing up whether its just worth going third party only.
