HAPPY NEW YEAR CUNTS! LET'S MAKE THIS A COPYPASTA!
~~~~~~

The victorian government is known for lying about statistics to further their agenda of revenue raising. Despite constant cries for more speed cameras and fines to make us "safer" the road toll has gone up year after year since 2013 even accounting for new drivers!

http://www.tac.vic.gov.au/road-safety/statistics/lives-lost-year-to-date

But it gets better. So they've been feeding us all this crap about how "speed cameras save lives" and they even have their own site with some fantastic sources! Let's take a look at those "sources" shall we?

http://www.camerassavelives.vic.gov.au/home/road+trauma/research+and+evidence/

The "independent" research arm they are getting their studies from is actually not that impartial at all!
That's right, it's the monash uni accident research center. A government funded center that is dependent on revenue raised by cameras to stay open. That's right, these researchers will lose their jobs if a steady revenue stream is not met.

The government cannot provide a single cited source from a truly independent source. Meanwhile....
http://www.drive.com.au/motor-news/140kmh-safer-in-australia-safety-expert-20101011-16fer.html

That's right, german researchers from Porsche and Mercedes have shown evidence our low speed limits on highways actually cause accidents. Surprise surprise, germans have the derestricted autobahn and have lower accidents per 100k than we do.

It gets better. We're constantly fed a stream of propaganda that young drivers are a menace in their "high powered hoonmobiles" and we should worry about them. Yet statistics tell a completely different story.

http://www.tac.vic.gov.au/road-safety/statistics/lives-lost-year-to-date

That's right, 40-49 and 70+ aged people are causing fatal accidents at TWICE the rate. Meanwhile in tasmania, where there are no restrictions on the type of car a young person can drive...

>>16411066
oh yeah i was reading that before thats fucked

NSW is just as cucked, qld more so

http://www.transport.tas.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0003/141474/Fatality_Calendar_Year_to_Date_30_September_2016.PDF

You guessed it, tasmania P plate drivers are actually quite safe in their modern high powered cars, making up a very small percent of accidents. Once again, it's boomers who are the menace on our roads, as shown by statistical evidence.

Now if this has not gotten your blood boiling, prepare to hate our government even more.

http://www.drive.com.au/motor-news/northern-territory-to-drop-open-speed-limits-20160830-gr4d5c.html

For a while, the NT had open speed limits in a portion of road. There was ZERO DEATHS. That's right, ZERO.
Recently they have removed the de-restriction by citing these BULLSHIT LYING VICTORIAN STATISTICS ON SPEED and now, we can expect deaths again.

See, due to the geography of the NT it is actually more dangerous to drive slow. More deaths happen due to fatigue and we can expect to see deaths again, now the speed limit is back to 110.

We had a period of years where it was PROVEN the derestricted zone worked, with not a single death....and they're now playing with people's lives for MUH FEELS and muh revenue.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PLEASE SAVE THIS FOR REPOSTING CUNTS

>>16411071
feel free to add more nsw cuckery in there if you can find cited sources to call them out

>>16411076
cited sources wont do shit

Besides speeding fines are the least of this countries problems since we're literally fucked as a country and essentially going into mad max territory, economically, government wise and culturally

nth for excel

>>16411090
I figure it will help redpill more anons who are on the fence about the government's lies.

I want them to see how it's not just a little white lie, they are actively bullshitting and manipulating statistics.

Old people are a fucking menace on the roads.

>>16411097
basically everyone on this site is redpilled to an extent aint they? If the're not what the fuck are they doing here ya kno?

>>16411106
Oh you would be surprised mate. Good job on putting the statistics together either way man, it's a nice read for anyone who like you said is on the fence.

>>16411116
oh that wasnt me thats some another anon

>>16411015
>can earn $70k
There's also no guarantees you'll be getting a job when you finish your degree. That $70k means fuck all unless you have the job

At least with an apprenticeship you get paid to learn

This.

Mate is a nurse and says they prefer hiring guys because it can be a bit physical and dont get into workplace politics as much. just do what they need to do and get the fuck out. I guess it's somewhat affirmative action in our favour too for once.

He said dude nurses tend to just go in and do what they are supposed to do properly too. Even small things like rolling fat fucks side to side every couple of hours so they don't bed sores.

Apparently female nurses can't be fucked with doing shit like that or properly washing patients and stuff. They're more about looking good infront of the family members so they don't get called out on it.

He also said other male nurses are real bro tier to work with since you can depend on them to do shit the right way and won't back stab you and report you for making non-pc jokes.

gay males are an exception though. apparently they are just as bad as female nurses

>>16412678

>40-60k a year from a degree
step up bro, i get 55k a year from my shitass metal foundry job that requires zero prior skill, set your sights for higher career

speaking of, my dream was to become an engineer before i found out that outsourcing was a thing. Now ive lost all passion and just want a comfy job

>>16412991
which foundry
states or abroad

>>16412678
is that a poo John Oliver?

>>16413159
Surman Metals in South Australia

i deal with all sorts of metals, but the point is im a shit tier labourer and i still get 49-55k a year without a university debt. Machine operator is where its at

>>16413304
How comfy is it? Work as a cellar hand at a winery in SA and sick of the place, thinking of a career change.

>>16413356
its ok, its actually hard work but i wear earplugs for 9 hours a day so while i work with people i rarely have to talk to anyone

I operate machinery mainly but i also pack the materials that i cut for deliveries. I dont mind physical work, i couldn't do maths well in uni so i flunked engineering pretty hard. Its basically working an assembly line so its long and monotonous days but i dont mind, i like telling people i work with raw material in a traditional job, people dont think im a neet anymore and im moving somewhere

>>16413304
i wasn't implying anything
i am also in the metal trade
broker though not real man work like you

>tfw earning 53k a year being a fucking general labourer
Sometimes it is hard but atleast I know that 457 pajeets will never take my job, no self entitled students want to work in my position and no females will ever want to be shitdiggers so I am safe from feminism too.
Also 100% of everyone else in the site is male and everyone is a real bro so no female drama.
God bless hard work and construction industry.

>>16411168
>>16411220

bullshit stats... unemployed and 'hidden' unemployed includes stay at home mothers, elderly, students, people between jobs and any dole bludger that isnt on a pension

Generally shit blokes. They make for terrible bros and creep out the girls with displays of the most autistic behaviour imaginable. There's no benefit whatsoever to associating with Pajeet. He drives worse than a Chinese woman, he'll stab you in the back for a promotion at a pizza joint and he'll unsuccessfully try creeping on your underage sister.

Weren't WRX and STis (and P-plate WRXes dressed up as STis) always more common? The Evo was always the more expensive vehicle.

>isnt it general knowledge that the subi is a bit more reliable and the evo is more exotic?
Not at all. The Subaru reliability meme comes from the States where lesbians buy Foresters and Outbacks and have good maintenance records. It does not extend to a secondhand WRX or STi owned by the snapback-wearing swaggot who peels out of Maccas drive-thrus and neglects to maintain it as he beats on it.

With cars like the WRX, STi and Evo you'll inevitably drive them hard and you're almost certainly going to modify it in some way. Stupid people wreck them with eBay parts and "a tune" and blame the manufacturer for their mistake. If you want them to last you've got to do two things;

>leave them stock or modify them properly
>consistent maintenance

It's an expensive thing in the long run, and insurance for them is pricey too. But the (un)reliability meme comes from the same poorfags and dumb niggers that'd blow up an SR20 with dumb mods and whine about how Nii-san makes bad engines.

are you paying for it? if not, you're going to get a great deal, very comfy cars and in my opinion one of the best australian cars made

At 100k, you need to do the timing chain, and have the gearbox serviced but other than that theyre pretty solid. I haven't heard anything else breaking.

>even on my VX it had a big a pillar compared to other cars.

My housemate had a VZ Crewman which I drove constantly. The pillar was big but it didn't bother me at all, let alone get in the way.

The VE is a very different story though.

One time we had use of my housemates uncles VE Calais because we had to drop him at the airport and got to use the car for a few weeks as a pay off.

I drove it occasionally, and holy fuck it was bad. The pillar is fucking massive and sits right where you need to look.You literally have to move your body to see around it. My housemate said the exact same thing too.

It single-handedly ruins the VE.

Somebody told me they are trading in their stock 2004 wrx, 95k

How much do you think a dealer would give them for it. so I know how much I should offer. to be the better deal

>>16415147

by 95k I mean kms

They've been wanting $14k for it. think I can get it for $10k? or will they have soon for lowballing

Hey fellas, going to be getting my first car soon, 2004 Manual Nissian X-Trail ST. Mum and dad are helping me get it because I'm a broke ass uni student and so I don't have much choice, but I'm not complaining either cause its better than no car.

I am thinking about changing out the stereo and speakers to something that doesn't sound like a tin can, not going to be blaring music for the next 2 blocks to hear though. What should I be looking for when changing out the stereo? Is it hard? I'm doing electrical engineering at uni so I've got a understanding of how wiring works etc.. but would like some advice if any is neccessary (or it might be straight forward, I've never done it before)

Also, it has got a very short clutch? I've grown up driving landcruisers around the property and they seem to have a nice spaceous clutch whereas the x-trail is a cunt and always stalls (family friend is selling it so I've driven it a bit before). Is there a way to make it 'deeper'? Or do I have to get used to it? Advice definitely needed on this one.

Also the thing is slow as shit, doesn't have much take-off at all, I'm not going to be hooning around corners or being a dickhead but I would like to get from 0-50 a bit quicker than a wet wig

I'm going to clean the thing up when I get it, a girl used to own it and she's fucking filthy. I'd also like to give it a service, I've got a bit of experience servicing things like bull dozers and motorbikes as we use them on the station, and that mainly consists of blowing out the filters, changing the oil, filling up the rad, and making sure the tires are pumped. Going to read the manual to get an idea of anything that is 'user servicable' but I'm not fucking useless so I'd like to know anything else that I can service myself that is worth it. Check the belts perhaps?

Any advice is helpful, thanks /o/

>when you have to go back to work tomorrow

>>16415862
>Also the thing is slow as shit, doesn't have much take-off at all, I'm not going to be hooning around corners or being a dickhead but I would like to get from 0-50 a bit quicker than a wet wig

What I meant by this, is that is there a way to make it a little faster? Mind you if I were hooning around corners in an X-Trail I would definitely fit the bill of a fuck head P-plater

>>16415862
HAAHHAAH

>>16415862

>>16415862
>Also, it has got a very short clutch?
If you're talking about the pedal feel, the clutch is blown.

Also x-trails are shit.

>What should I be looking for when changing out the stereo? Is it hard? I'm doing electrical engineering at uni so I've got a understanding of how wiring works etc.. but would like some advice if any is neccessary

To the head unit you'll have constant 12v, switched 12v, and earth.
Constant 12v keeps your settings, switched 12v turns it on when you turn the key.
If you lose your radio stations etc when you turn it off, you have the wiring backwards.

Other than that, just observe polarity when wiring the speakers.
Protip: You can use a AA battery on the speaker wires to figure out which speaker wire goes where. It will make the speaker make a small pop. If you're really good you can use it to figure out which wire is positive (cone will move out and pop slightly louder).

Disagree with that, I save up and get quality majority of the time

But we are getting the thing for 3 grand, desu if it were my decision I would get something better but they are stuck on the idea of buying it off my family friend. Idk why. I also have to throw my own money in, but its still better than no car, cause I wouldn't be able to afford shit after rego, insurance and the car itself

Never bought a used car before. How are you supposed to pay if it's a larger amount?

Cheque? bank transfer?

>>16416006
If your clutch pedal has little to no travel then its fucked. No point buying the car if its fucked because it's a cunt to replace on a shitbox that was never meant to be pulled apart. 3k is a waste, buy an excel or a corolla and be done with it. Your first car should be a bucket of shit (not spending 3k on a xtrail) so you can put dings and scratches in it without caring.

>>16416010
No, 20" Simmons on any car makes it look great XDDDDDDD. I'd rather keep an old car stock or use period correct rims, Putting 20" rims on an old car looks yuck. Anything past 18" for any car is getting into faggotory rice status.

Hey you poor cunts who have moved out, how much do you guys spend on rent vs how much you earn?

I wanna move out but I don't think I earn enough, I get back $560 a week after all the tax and bullshit, I also wanna live on my own without roomates because i'm a loner.

Would $350 a week be too much to spend on rent? How much would bills, food, etc factor in?

I don't really spend much on other shit week to week really.

Should I aim for something lower?

Who gets the papers to transfer the title and stuff? buyer or seller?

Also can you get screwed over with bank cheques and stuff? like say I give them the bank cheque. it appears to have cleared and that they have the money but then they refuse to give me the car and papers?

like how does the whole payment process work?

>>16416153

It varies a lot depending on state.
In QLD you don't even need a bill of sale anymore, you just fill out a stat dec when you rego it.

I did have an idea recently though:
When you're giving them the money etc, pull out your phone and make a video. Get them to say they're selling you the car for $$$$.

Better than any piece of paper if it ends in legal shit imo.

>>16416153
I haven't done one in a while but if I remember right, there's a transfer of ownership paper that they should have and you both sign two different halves of and take both into the rego office.

>>16416153
Transfer payers should be the sellers priority otherwise they're just being cunts.

Bank cheques are pretty much you go to the bank, give them your card and they print out the cheque for you. You wouldn't be able to get the cheque if there wasn't anything in your account. When you buy the car you give the seller the cheque and they give you the car. DO NOT give money or cheques to the seller without getting the car.

If there's any problems with money being cleared or whatever, they can contact you afterwards to sort it out.

what do you guys think of those seal rejuvenation additives you add to oil to stop leaks?
I've got a leak coming from a hose which connects to my oil filter.
I can't find the part online but found ads like this on ebay,
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/STOP-OIL-LEAKS-FOR-CHEAP-CARS-/181472806827?hash=item2a409f47ab:m:mzmz3f5zl_JRTWinCONK0_g

seems kinda gimmicky but the reviews are all positive.

>>16416202

They (usually) work by making gaskets swell up and expand, which plugs the leak.
Since you're leaking from a hose, not a gasket, it more than likely won't do shit.

>>16416202
just replace the hose m8, why would you even consider anything else?

How do you guys ask for a better price or negotiate price without sounding like an arrogant asshole and have them be more open to it?


Is it bad idea to ask for a price before hand over the phone/email/text?

Also is it better to say 'would you consider $x for it' or is it better to say something like

'how much would you be willing to let it go for?

>>16416202
Just replace the hose dingus.

>>16416213
I won't consider offers if they aren't in person. How do you know the car isn't worth what it's being listed for if you haven't even looked at it? I think you can safely ask 'are you negotiable?' but there's no way you'll be taken seriously if you just give them a number.

This on the other hand is a straight swap all i need is a torque converter 2500 stall or there abouts for around $800 on top

This is $2450 shipped

It's people like you that disgust me, falcunt.

>>16416369
still need driveshaft + other bits as well as im not sure if my high end dash cluster will work propertly since its a VX Auto cluster but im sure it would work.

i have a gut feeling the manual is going to end up more expensive and take alot longer AND i might regret getting rid of the auto but on the other hand i think the 4l60e will give me problems

any other tips with negotiation?

is it always expected that sellers put a price higher becuase they know people will negotiate

>>16416375
It doesnt HAVE to be manual.

thats why i am tossing up between the two dickhead help me out instead of hindering
>>16416378
i always ask them to knock $500+ off as soon as i drive it depending what else is wrong with it
>>16416347
Also look here mate dunno where in qld u are but theres alot to choose from 3k your budget right?

>>16416378
Pretty much. Whatever a listed price is, you can knock a few hundred off guaranteed.

>>16416383
Just do the fucking manual swap you girl. Automatic is a waste of money if you really like driving cars. Also it's a v8 commo so it's worth nothing as a drivers car, Excels turn better than a commo does.

>I give them the bank cheque. it appears to have cleared and that they have the money
As far as you're concerned, it's the same as cash.

The way it works is that the bank took your money and a fee for the service then issued a cheque drawn on the bank itself, not on your personal account. It's guaranteed to clear so there's no bullshit waiting, you just swap it for the keys (and transfer papers or whatever else is involved)

>In charge of turning

lol slow as piss waddly little cunts

>>16416387
>>16416383

So is only like $500 or rounding down to the nearest XX000 the most realistic negotiation price?

>>16416414
it depends post the cars you think you'll look at then go check them out and report back

>>16416414
It really depends on the car. I've personally managed to knock $1500 of a cars price but others I could just barely get $500 off.

$15k and $13k?

>>16416458
Anything more than $3k under the asking price.

>>16416458
there is no hard and fast rules

if there is something wrong with the car that needs repairing for it to be drivable walk away or offer him substantially less

What are you, a poofter?

Holdens have a bogan tax, ford doesn't.

You can get a BA Fairmont Ghia (nice leather interior, premium sound with a sub, 17" alloys) for $3000-$4000.

I bought mine 2 years ago for $3500 with 143,000KM.

>managed to knock $1500 off a cars price

What did you say to get that much off?

did you have to come up with seemly valid reasons?

Also if someone tells me that they are planning on trading their car in by the end of the week would that give me some leverage?

https://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Subaru-Impreza-2004/SSE-AD-4422650/?Cr=2

something like this supposedly stock and single owner

How much would a dealership give them for it

>>16416512
>did you have to come up with seemly valid reasons?
They were relatively naive but the car didn't have working AC, a loose headlight and a headlight that didn't work despite having a new globe in it. Ultimate it was just out of gas, I reattached the headlight and it turned out the non working headlight was just a fuse (since every light for the front of the car had an independent fuse). Since they didn't know how to fix these things I got $1500 off but to be honest I was surprised by the fuses, it was strange that it had individual fuses.

>>16416527
That is more common than not.

>>16416512

>What did you say to get that much off?

Not that guy, but you just note things that need to be fixed. Act like you want a car that is completely stock and any retarded modifications are a negative to the price.

Look at the tyres, if they are bald make note of it. Look at the service history, if it has missed services make note of it. Look at the glass for cracks. Look in the water tank for mixing of oil/water. Look for leaks.

Take the car for a 15 minute drive. Get up to 100KM and see if the car pulls to the left or the right. If it does it needs a wheel alignment. Do a brake check to see if the brakes shudder as well. If they do you need new front discs and pads.

Basically buying a car is a game trying to figure out what is wrong with it so you can jew the seller down on price.

Bring cash because people are more likely to sell you stuff for cheaper with cash.

fuck my goddamn retard strength for doing this, ive had to rebuild a portion of metal hose with goddamn flexible hose because the metal hose going into the carburetor decided to be a cunt while i was unscrewing it and it twisted and punctured the fuel line. Can't test it now while its pissing fuel

Also vacuumed the shit out of the interior, there was 5kg of cement, sand and mud under the rear seats and spare tyre well. I think the previous owner was a tiler

If only this country wanst cucked and i could drive this on the street

Am I supposed to bring money/bank cheque with me when I do my first inspection?

also is it a bad idea to give a bit in cash (the extra money that to am willing to go up to) then have the amount I am hoping for as a bank cheque?

can they screw me and say the check was dishonest and not what we agreed on after I give them the cash?

Anyone know where I can get a straight pipe for my mazda 121??

How do deposits work.

Is there a way so they don't just fuck off with the money and leave me with no car. and act like they never got a deposit

can I give a deposit that day if the car seems to check out then come back the next day with the rest of the money then pick it up?

or if they change their mind about the sale can I get it back

The problem now is they're degenerate savages. They can fuck right off.

>>16416617
Also what's a reaosn amount to leave as a deposit so that they don't sell it when you come back with the rest of the money

>abos in rural places live in deadens shitholes full of drugs/alcoholism and child sex abuse
>take kids away because they are literally being sexually abused and living in squalor and not being sent to school
>muh stolen generation 2.0 even though the same shit would be done if it was any other kid

>Leave em be, you get the shit hole abo rural towns you have now. Intervene and you get called racist and stolen generation?

Before all of the gimmedats starting in the 60s, Abbos actually worked for their food in the cattle stations in NT.

There is literally no productive purpose to being in the middle of nowhere doing nothing, which is what happens.

The amount of money we spend on their communities is staggering. Absolutely staggering.

>I'd rather daily the Auto
As much as I hate responding to droobs, do you honestly battle peak hour traffic on a daily basis?

>>16416743
I think it's more of an 'I can't admit that I can't drive a manual worth a damn' than a 'm-muh peak hour traffic I don't drive in because I live in the middle of nowhere and don't have a job'.

Cheaper than a turbo Barra usually but not as powerful unless you chuck a cam in it.

Just the engine itself idk 500-1000 or 2-4k for a drivable car

Tbh I wish I got a Barra don't get me wrong the ls is great but I want a Barra turbo as well before they get too expensive

The deposit gives legal consideration as does the receipt that should be written out confirming the deposit amount, purpose, date, interested parties and particulars of the sale (product, terms of delivery, total sale amount)

I.e you go and look at half a dozen models that suit your criteria, you contact the one that you like best and meet with them again. Offer them a price that youre willing to pay & meet them at an agreed price point.
Offer the deposit (10% is customary, less is usually fine if the car is of significant value ~ i wouldnt expect 7 grand deposit on a 70k car, 1 or 2 k would be sufficient consideration)

Then return at a later time with either cash or bank cheque and pick the car up, sign transfer papers etc
