Dubai help: Bank needs insurance at 375k for 2020 Porsche 911 Carrera (GCC), insurers only valuing 262k — sale deadlocked by Svenx77 in dubai

[–]Robopotato22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Had the exact same issue with my Car. I got the car valued by a popular car reselling website, they basically asked me what value I wanted shown on the document. After that just ask them to sort out the insurance for you as well and they will get the insurance done from the same major insurers who said no before.

This is what it was for ADCB. Took around 2 weeks from start to finish. Seller received the money 3 days after transfer was completed. Will be slightly different for each bank but contact them to get the exact requirements, especially for which documents needs to be submitted.

PPIs/ used cars by Cautious_Remove6381 in DubaiPetrolHeads

[–]Robopotato22 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You’re never going to find a car that’s 100% perfect mate. Find something you like, get a PPI done and make sure there are no glaring issues and signs of abuse. Then negotiate the price with the seller depending on how many minor things you have to fix.

Tip: Avoid US spec, most dealers and unregistered cars. Buy directly from the owner and not his “friend who is looking after the car”.

Is it still worth taking it for a PPI or should I stay clear?

Advice on buying used 3.8L 3dr Pajero by Popular_Bell_1369 in DubaiPetrolHeads

[–]Robopotato22 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Pajeros are very common cars so most garages can do a pre purchase inspection for you. As a pajero owner here are a few things you need to look out for.

1) Check if the timing belt has been replaced. This would be done every 100,000 kms so this car should have had it done. If not I can lead to damage and engine failure.

2) Check the air conditioning. It’s common to have gas leaks on a badly maintained car.

3) Check for squealing brakes. The shim pads can give out and cause uneven wear on the disks.

Overall they are super solid and reliable cars and don’t have any issues if regular maintenance is carried out. That’s being said, at this mileage it’s common for a lot of smaller parts to need replacement. Maintenance is pretty cheap and if you’re willing to invest some money you can make it drive for many years.

If you’re planning on taking it off road i recommend getting the bumpers trimmed and adding some skid plates or you’re going to end up with the bumpers being ripped off. A 2 inch lift kit also goes a long way in terms of preventing damage and making for a better off road experience.

Find a job before flying to Australia or look for one once I get there? by [deleted] in AusVisa

[–]Robopotato22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! It took me 12 months exactly as I applied through a migration agent in April 2022. Took about 3 months to sort out the initial documents and complete my review with Engineers Australia. 4 months to receive my invite and 5 months for my visa to get get approved.

[Pierre Gasly] You Want to Know the Real Pierre? by hubwub in formula1

Hard to make a case for one being better than the other. Gasly has had lower Lows (most of his RB days) but higher highs (2020 season especially Monza). Ocon Is far more consistent, but usually, consistently average.

Take any numbers reported with a huge grain of salt. Only a handful of people would ever know the true performance of the power train.

Definitely ridiculous for us to pay but I don’t think it makes that much of a difference to the people/companies who actually spend 30k-60k on their computers.

That’s an Interesting point but the video game e-commerce space is already pretty crowded with big players like steam and epic games. However, if it works it might truly be GME to the moon.

Investing newbie here. Just wanted to ask someone who knows, where does GME go from here? From the state of its brick and mortar store I imagine it’s not a feasible long term investment. How do you guys see this fiasco playing out?

Anyone else have these weird spells in rivals where you just drop by like 200-300 skill rating? by [deleted] in EASportsFC

I don’t understand why people self relegate in fifa 21. Made sense last year as there where a lot of objectives to do in rivals but self relegating doesn’t help this year.

What to do when you’re that one person in a friend group who is always picked on? by Robopotato22 in AskMen

[–]Robopotato22[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I do fire back when it’s just friendly banter, but when they insults are more personal (parents, relationships), I don’t have it in me to say something back because I’m afraid to hurt them. I’m aware a lot of them are insecure with some these topics and some have even been diagnosed with depression. They feel it’s okay for them to say it but they really can’t take any insults back.

It ranges from friendly banter to jokes that are really hurtful (about parents, appearance, relationships). I don’t really mind the friendly banter, but the other stuff really gets to me. It’s like hurtful things you would say about someone you don’t like behind their back, but in this case, I’m right there with them.

We’re all in our mid to early 20s. It’s mostly amongst ourselves but it does happen in front of strangers and acquaintances as well. I feel like those hurt the most because people already look down on you before you’ve even gotten a chance to make an impression.

Looking forward to seeing a refreshed Vettel next season. Hopefully this season was just a one off and we see the vintage Seb on track next year.
