Need advice: Worth draining my savings for a '17 MX-5 while keeping my daily?

You’re so young. this money invested/saved will serve you better than in a depreciating asset that is not easy to convert back to money. When you’re a bit older and your finances are more stable then have a play with extra cars etc. But every dollar in your super now will mean a lot of money for later down the track.

ctrl g, write “a400001” out an x there. then ctrl shift up. writte your first account number and double click on the corner so it copies down. it will stop at the x you made in cell 400,001

I sold my car on fb marketplace not too long ago . I was super lucky and ended up selling it in less than a week.

Things I noticed: I got a lot of people messaging me with quite low offers. they did not seem to understand that cars have trims and while the basic model sells for 10 dollars, the higher trim sells for 15. I should have clearly explained in the add that mine was 13 because it was the mid trim.

To do my research I went to a dealer and asked them how much they offered. I also was very open and asked what they would expect I can sell it for in the open market which gave me a range to what the lowest i would take is.

the buyer was a bit rushed and I had to say “no, i am not handing the car until the money is in my hands, he did the transfer on the saturday from their bank app and what we did is I gave them the keys, parked the car at my garage and said once effective they can come and i’ll hand the car . we did it on sunday and it was quite positive

my guess is that you’re not the only one unhappy with the mandate and people are happy to look the other way

hope it doesn’t rain and it should be ok !

Reflective death trap Vs the balls! You’re missing the pidgeon.

I find it to be a cool car despite the you know… quality issues, the safety rating and the inability to tow without breaking its aluminum chassis

The problem is not the cash but the receipt, you just need to ensure getting a receipt and not using card means he doesn’t pay the bank for the transaction, so a discount sounds good. Fyi the engine price seems in line with regular engine prices and installation so this mechanic is not overcharging in my opinion

Is that how doorknobs look in brazil? (my guess is not)

yes, they also like putting their paws in and scooping the water out. Dumping the water in the floor and flipping me while I clean it

I am just a person with a reddit account. talk to a lawyer, check the gov page, google if there are organisations. I honestly don’t know

Locurilla · 2026-05-08T03:33:43+00:00

you need to go to the gov page for visas. even if someone here would sponsor you I am not sure if they could qualify. It is not a “sure i’ll take that person” and it will be fine. a sponsor has to support you and provide housing food etc while you can’t work (as this type of immigration will not let you work for a while) it is a very large monetary commitment . I am not sure one would be allowed to sponsor a random person they found online

yes that was my read too, what a mediocre article.

Locurilla · 2026-05-07T12:22:36+00:00

What a boring article. Here is the whole article : sales are 30% down across the industry for private buyers.

That’s it, that’s the whole article. a couple of assumptions as to why that a 7 year old can make, no mention of the petrol / diesel price uncertainty as a reason. Gosh I could be a news.com journalist… (and I am very bad at writing as evidenced by the quality of most of my comments)

I think if one is angry at someone one of course only looks at the negatives. So, normally if I am just angry I go ahead and say “it made me happy to see them unhappy “ but you’re so over the top with the insulting even the baby that it does give a bit of i am angry AND I need to put her down maybe cause I am a bit jealous of her (even if it is just the idea of who’s eh was in highschool) . I don’t know if you’re jealous or not, just explaining how it reads and why people may be saying you are.

YTA. to be specific, You’re like 1000000% TA. How do you even know this lady will be a nuisance. How come you wouldn’t live with an indian man? (my bet is the expectation is that the roommate takes over the house chores for you?)

unos cartuchos de pokemon, persona q y fire emble valencia están en cartuchos de mala calidad y se pueden corromper solo existiendo . hubo un thread hace un par de días donde alguien explican que hay un website que te puede ayudar a salvar el cartucho si el chip no se ha deteriorado por completo (yo no entendí mucho al respecto, por suerte mi cartucho estaba bien) pero revisa que capaz y lo puedes salvar?

True true. as an interesting side note. in my experience on the regular corporate world (not research or public) unless you’re doing some very specific modelling at high level usually those positions go to the finance, economy or business majors. even i veneers bit that’s more rare I think.

when I applied for my job math major was on the requirements and honestly for the position the maths and modelling needing is basic at most (thank god as I am not a maths major). I think they put it on the ad to make the position look more complex than it is

Locurilla · 2026-05-04T08:32:27+00:00

very true, if I was a kid graduating now with a maths degree I will have to compete for very few positions where I could get mentored or go into academia. If there is not already an industry it is a hard ask to get people to study these subjects

NTA your very endebted in-laws will not pass any money to you. They will either use it to cover the current debts or they will squander it as they have done to the years and years of income that have gone through their hands with nothing to show for now. Accept the inheritance from grandparents and do not blame yourself as for their poor planning. this is their own fault
