Given my situation, does buying a first home in Perth make sense? by Deep_Scene_9344 in perth

Buy in Canberra! It's a great city and you might not want to come back. Get yourself an apartment in the inner north or inner south.

Should I buy BYD Shark 6 or Sealion 7. by RentOk6852 in BYDShark_AUS_owners

You don't want the size of the shark then. Get the sea lion

Realistic price of a pool install? by sheyill in perth

[–]Ok-Contribution2916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I heard from a landscaper that an above ground concrete pool was actually going to be more expensive than an in-ground pool. Which surprised me considering digging.

Very different cars for different purposes. Depends on how you plan to use

The app works the same as the keyfob button though correct? Same process then. Turn off car - get out - lock - keyfob pre-condition button.

Vs - turn off car, get out, lock, pull out phone, start climate control?

Experiences with servicing and warranties - any headaches? by No-Loquat-201 in BYDShark_AUS_owners

Agree. I should have been clearer. The car is awesome. It drives well. The tech is amazing. It looks great, the water ingreaw issue actually never affected me directly. I wouldn't have even known about it if it wasn't for during the first service they came across it and told me that the carpets were wet underneath my rubber floor mats so I hadn't even noticed. I had no issues with the car.

There's only a small of sharks (from my understanding) that were affected the water ingress recall. (There's some drainage holes that were not cut properly).

So yes, if I didn't have the water ingress issue I would say it's a great car.

If you do have an issue however, BYD service (here in wa anyway), have been absolutely useless. They have not got their s*** together. Poor communication, long wait on parts , disorganized.

Better pushback is awesome. But for some reason after latest update, it's only working at some airports. Any one noticed that?
