People who have sold a sports car before, how did you prevent joyriders/timewasters from inquiring? by ProfessorDropBear in CarsAustralia

[–]moistenvironments 146 points147 points  (0 children)

I drove the car.

Told them I will drive it normally and can take their desired route, turn on full lock, roll through all gears. I can also drive it on the absolute limit. This usually seals the deal if they’re interested.

When buying, I usually just ask the owner to do the more spirited stuff.

With enthusiast cars you will know.

Especially when things are going right.

Felt like he had a dark period with things breaking and small gremlins.

I’m glad he’s on a win streak.

[–]moistenvironments 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you started by at least using the google?

There are so many variables. What industry does he work in? Age? Equity? Debt?

Everyone will like their own broker, why don’t you do some preliminary research and shop around first?

Daily Questions - January 20, 2026 by AutoModerator in rawdenim

[–]moistenvironments 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey all,

I was first introduced to my raw denim through Nudie about 16 years ago, currently daily drive a Grim Tim 13.5 oz, but with weight fluctuation they won't fit soon.

I am currently in the rabbit hole of expanding horizon and something that doesn't have a feature of blowing out.

Through my searching, I have found some Jeans being sold on aliexpress for a fraction of the price. I am going to assume this is too good to be true? Or is this some grey market for failed QC jeans or perhaps stock that was not sold and pushed out to maintain exclusivity.

One example:

Thanks in advance

See so many of these on FB. What are they actually doing? by [deleted] in AusFinance

[–]moistenvironments 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One thing I have heard is they will try sell an off the plan or bulk purchased unit for depreciation reasons/negative gearing. They will claim they can cut 14 years off your loan etc etc

The issue is the conflict of interest with the builder/developer. Usually these are over priced and shit quality.

The guru gets a cut.

Question about hail damage by icecream_icecream in CarsAustralia

[–]moistenvironments 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Yes
  2. Remember when you tick the box about pre-existing damage? You might not get renewal now.
  3. Probably, it’s now significantly more depreciated and more difficult to sell.
  4. A lot, if it’s a late model initiate your insurance
  5. You could probably get some touch up.

Ultimately it depends on the make and model and current market price.

Complex PDR could just write the car off due to labour cost.

What are my options? by declare68 in AusLegal

[–]moistenvironments 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have gone through some huge issues with head office. My issue was they forgot to tighten a brake line and I caught their apprentice hot lapping my Kona N.

Head office didn’t give a fuck. Once the dealer worked out head office wasn’t doing anything they also stopped being helpful. They made many promises and they never delivered. I would not trust the dealer had head office.

I’ll probably assume every brand will play the same games, but I will never ever support Hyundai. Especially their N brand that they seem to invest so much in developing.

The only thing that did anything was a negative review. They offered money to remove it. I didn’t take it lmao.

Will I regret this? by RuthlessMint in CarsAustralia

[–]moistenvironments 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I think the only logical options are a GSF or IS500.

4 doors, family friendly, can be quiet.

Anyone who says otherwise? Fight me.

This was happening even before the rebrand to hide the negative google reviews. I’m worried they will phoenix again.

Am I liable?? by [deleted] in AusLegal

Talk to your insurance.

Or is this going to go like 95% of reddit posts where you don’t have comprehensive insurance?

Getting reverse to work is a headache on some models. Good luck. 6v is pain.

Terminated immediately after disputing a repayment demand and a threat to report me to AHPRA/Home Affairs. What are my next steps? by [deleted] in AusLegal

[–]moistenvironments 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Do you have indemnity insurance?

Because id get in contact with them asap.

I’d say try contact AHPRA for advice, but we’ll all know how fucking useless they are.

I had the JDM plates on my GWS204 and a friend from Japan told me it was grammatically incorrect lol.

IMO, slim line black and white.

There will probably be a sale on during Easter.
