Oh shoot. And to think that I've recently purchased a car when the rate was 2.8.

What car did you buy?

Mazda2 Neo.

no its closing nw..prolly will settle in at 2.5

tats a loss or gain?
Gain = a car
Loss = pay more

whoa..~~ rich

Haha. Both a gain and a loss I guess.
Got a cheap price from the dealer then, he said that the offer only lasts till end of September.

im looking at that car too.. small and nice.. how much u got it for?

Added on October 9, 2008, 2:14 pmhmm im not sure but usually they got this free on-roads offer so that usually saves u about 1k-2k right?? and from my experience usually the offers all hover around that figure....like they give u fleet price but no free on roads.....give u rebates but no free on roads n etc.....

but holden's current deal seems quite attractive....99cents fuel cap.....but now that the oil price is dropping....mayb its not that useful.....but still pump prices arent as low as the world crude oil prices....damn!

Can roaming other network right? I'm also under 3, usually my phone only 1 bar signal in my room, if really bad then changed to other telecom network automatically, i can still make phone call domestic and international plus sms without any surcharges. So far no complained regarding 3, good cap with extreme values.

It's a wonderful car, small and quiet.
I bought it for $20,000 with the safety pack included.
Added some tint and paint protection for another $995.

I know, but I'm just crossing fingers and hope that I've gotten a good deal. =P
Anyway, will be hoping to get a job here when I've graduated so that the car wouldn't go to waste.

yeah i like small cars, thats why im looking at it.. the 20k includes all those fees n registration? coz i see onsite its 15.7k only for the most basic one.. i dun really know about all this kinda stuff, not a car fan, never thought of having a car also.. just bought a bike a few months ago.. haihs.. can international students pay by installments?

Woaaaaa Rich ...

Anyways, I think the exchange rate is at 2.3 now ... And I heard it will end this year on par with USD.
What do you think ? Time to throw in some money into Australia?

well; always like such one. the best time to buy car is end of financial yr. not when the dealer sweet mouth BS all the goodies you get.

Not so good; inflation on your ps3, your camera; your EB games; your PC parts.what ever you import sure go up; You should asked your business friends; tu ...yang banyak kawan cantik dari clayton tu

Commerce people forecast that by the end of the year. AUD will equals to USD.

I just listen to what people are saying, so no solid statements here.

But I think it's going to go down even more. My lecturer said the Lehman Brothers case is just the beginning.
After learning how money comes into the banks, I have a bad feelings about what is going to happen next.

And Australian reserve banks are throwing huge sums of money EVERYDAY so that nobody go bankrupt. by the millions ...

NOTE: These are all I heard from my lecturer. True or not I have no idea. Sounds true. AND No legal advice here. You understand that you take whatever I am saying at your own risk.

I started off with the idea of getting a bike too, but parents were worried of my safety. So yeah, ended up with a car.
The $15,700 is the manual model while I went for the auto one. =)
I'm not sure about paying by installments, I guess you could go to Mazda's showrooms to do a test-drive as well as get more information about it.
My car along with the rego fee and all costed $18,990. Managed to negotiate with the dealer to offer a discount for the safety pack.

oooh damn.. haihs.. at first i tot i wouldnt stop cycling.. but after cycling to uni for a few months, i gave up.. rather take the bus again.. not a cheap bike too.. LOL.. at least i can cycle to work ..

whoa u should be happy ur parents can get u a car.. haihs.. too bad me no $$ .. i checked out suzuki swift too, around the $20k range.. sweeet! actually these are the two cars i have in mind.. hmmm.. probably ill decide next year, and hopefully the exchange rate drops again..

Yeah,it's roams to other network.

It just that sometimes it just disconnect half way in a call.

hahaha; yes doctor yes doctor. tu ..clayton, caulfield..banyak bah gang gang cantik tu dari msia dan sg

yea..well, different ppl know different thing.


AUD will equal with USD, so by mean it will rose back to 0.98?
this possible happen. but think again; australia is M1 currency.so you should know where it is in global market
not bcos resources n commodity; they are no where in the map now

How money come to bank; then u learned that the money go bust in bank with no return minimum right?
well; if RBA is pumping huge, the surplus is drying up.

ask your lecturer, today market went up is it a false alarm of relief or just a so called trying to be happy before we got 6 week downward shits to happen.

But who knows ... Nobody expect the Lehman brothers thing to come so early.
