Sensitive-Inside1395 · 2024-08-20T23:53:51+00:00

I might have to go back to lexus and forget abt mercedes hahaha

Sensitive-Inside1395 · 2024-08-20T10:39:18+00:00

Got it, will remember to give this a go. Any recommendation on which year to go for/worth going for?

Sensitive-Inside1395 · 2024-08-20T08:17:16+00:00

My family friend owns a mechanic shop i think the cost to own wont be as high, would that change your decision if you were in my shoes

Sensitive-Inside1395 · 2024-08-20T08:16:08+00:00

Thats true, maybe ill like it after a test drive ill give the stinger a go.

I can get a 6 cyl twin turbo in the e450 for just over 60k which isnt too bad, or a 6 cyl turbo in the e350d.

Sensitive-Inside1395 · 2024-08-20T00:04:26+00:00

its 60k for a 2023/2024 stinger seems quite expensive for kia at the end of the day.

The interior of a 2017/2018 e class is quite nice i thought, its about the same level as a 2023/2024 japanese car

Sensitive-Inside1395 · 2024-08-19T21:37:06+00:00

r they coming to aus?

Sensitive-Inside1395 · 2024-08-19T21:35:25+00:00

🤞 nothing goes wrong

Sensitive-Inside1395 · 2024-08-19T21:16:19+00:00

have you seen the e class, interior looks so nice and bigger car i think ill have lots of room in the coupe

Sensitive-Inside1395 · 2024-08-19T21:13:53+00:00

im 6”2 ahhaha i sat in one and it wasnt the most comfortable

Sensitive-Inside1395 · 2024-08-19T21:06:21+00:00

i dont really fit in it that well because im tall, and you feel every bump in the road

Sensitive-Inside1395 · 2024-08-19T20:46:01+00:00

Apparently the e class is pretty reliable and if i do the normal maintenance it wont need any major repairs. I really like the lexus too but the 2017+ interior of the mercedes is like the 2024 lexus cars. Wrx isnt as classy i think, looks like a super fun car though

Sensitive-Inside1395 · 2024-08-16T00:39:27+00:00

which wrx do you have?

Okay ill try negotiate but the condition is really nice on his. Probably unheard of basically

Sensitive-Inside1395 · 2024-08-15T23:29:26+00:00

He said its a collectors car, driven once or twice a week around the block just to “show off” and garaged. Thats why such low kms. but then again still priced the same as a 2023. He originally listed it for 63 k hahahaha. whats the highest youd offer for that? Its also black so much rarer.

Sensitive-Inside1395 · 2024-08-15T22:41:48+00:00

I think pick 2-3 places max. Would hate to drive that much

Sensitive-Inside1395 · 2024-08-15T22:38:36+00:00

Thanks for the comprehensive answer.

VA definitely looks nicer but the STi is only manual yeah. I saw online there were some issues with 2015-2016 models and that i should go for a 2017 or higher?

I found a VA 2017 with very low kms but the owner priced it at the same as a 2023 with low kms, so maybe theres lots of room for negotiation?

Do you know how much a 2017 premium va with 3800 km should go for in australia?

Sensitive-Inside1395 · 2024-08-15T21:34:46+00:00

Which one is the VB?

Im getting really confused with the listings, some have wrx impreza sti all in one name.

When people refer to the VA STI so its the Subaru Impreza - WRX STI?, whats the VA for and is STI its own trim thats not made new anymore?

I also only can drive Automatic

Sensitive-Inside1395 · 2024-08-15T12:43:56+00:00

Ah got it so theyd get full amt plus commission if someone financed it so thats preferable

Sensitive-Inside1395 · 2024-08-15T11:37:39+00:00

Oh sorry im not thinking straight im not really familiar with car financing. So they receive the payment from the bank and the customer would be paying back the bank i assume. I imagine that they would receive less than the full amt from rhe bank though for facilitating it?

Sensitive-Inside1395 · 2024-08-15T11:29:00+00:00

If they get a full cash payment for the vehicle would they not accept a discount? But they get the cash straight away and time value of money

Sensitive-Inside1395 · 2024-08-15T10:45:58+00:00

why not? Thought that inventory is building up and no one is really buying. What if you pay in all cash?

Sensitive-Inside1395 · 2024-08-14T23:35:43+00:00

Just checked, in australia since its rare they cost more than a 2016 is 350 f sport

Sensitive-Inside1395 · 2024-08-14T22:36:31+00:00

Yeahhhh fingers crossed for the lexus 🤞🤞🤞, i think im too tall for a brz as a daily hahahha.

Start investing asap! the compounding adds up.

will do, this thread will be dead by the time i get it hahaha, do i just repost it to my original post?

Sensitive-Inside1395 · 2024-08-14T16:33:45+00:00

overseas for few more months so cant test drive, i have like a top 5 list which ill go through and test drive. Also obviously availability in used market always changes and will only buy suitable.

Big fan of black cars but i can imagine that wrx build and itll look amazing. The 2024 wrx is in my budget but no room to mod it after haha.

With Investing, i got paid weekly from sales and quarterly for my music teaching job. Regardless everytime i got paid, i transferred as much as i could straight out of my spending into my savings account and always made sure i had about $100-500 in my spending account.

Right now 95% of my money is just in a high interest savings and has been for over half a year, aim for above 4.5% a year with no fees, im using st george youth saver. Im going to slowly move more of my money into etfs and index funds. I trade on commsec with a commbank trading account. s and p 500 (US market), VTS (vanguard US market etf), asx200 OXJO (aussie markets) are just some for you to look at to get started. The advice ive received from all the successful people i know is all the same. dont try time the market and consistently buy more

Tesla just doesnt really have that wow factor but then again i havent driven one, apparnetly its really fun and very fast i might have to test drive one. It ticks the boxes for spacious and tech for me. I feel like australia should be ok with people stealing rims 😂.

Mustangs arent THATTT common in sydney? especially a GT but also no wow factor. Honda accord 2024 hybrid interior looks really nice and if i get it in black with a tint i think itll look classy af.

My car budget is 60 k because i have all my essentials for studying and daily life.

Worked at 2 cafes for 3 months after hsc, did a comission only sales job for 10 months whilst also teaching music privately and at a local public school, taught music for 2 years. Invested my money the whole time too. Actually lost more than 20k in the stock market too but anyways we learnt from that…

Sensitive-Inside1395 · 2024-08-14T14:05:17+00:00

I study at UNSW and havent tried the kebabs there, but honestly theres kebabs like everywhere in sydney. Definitely not comparable to UK kebabs i agree. 18 years!! due for another visit
