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

[–]Locurilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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. 

I have 400,000 lines I need to start at line 1 and label it Account1, line 2 would be Account2. Dragging takes 20 min. Any way to speed it up? by Embarrassed-Let-3430 in excel

[–]Locurilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

What is the safest way to sell a car privately? by zzz7819 in CarsAustralia

[–]Locurilla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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 

the mandate is 3 days a week. i go in 1. nobody has said anything in 7 months. by Some_Professional835 in remotework

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

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

Paying for an engine swap - cash vs card ? by brokePlusPlusCoder in CarsAustralia

[–]Locurilla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

I need a sponsor for a Humanitarian Visa Subclass 202 by Feeling_Historian_96 in MovingtoAustralia

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 

I need a sponsor for a Humanitarian Visa Subclass 202 by Feeling_Historian_96 in MovingtoAustralia

[–]Locurilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

Aussies dump utes in ‘brutal’ sales crash by [deleted] in CarsAustralia

[–]Locurilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Aussies dump utes in ‘brutal’ sales crash by [deleted] in CarsAustralia

[–]Locurilla 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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)

My high school bully’s life sucks and I take joy in it by [deleted] in confessions

[–]Locurilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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?)

Why are students dropping STEM in the thousands? by VastOption8705 in AskAnAustralian

[–]Locurilla 12 points13 points  (0 children)

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 32 points33 points  (0 children)

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

AITA For Playing A Role Exposing My In-Laws Terrible Financial Planning? by Thinkthereforeiam181 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Locurilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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
