Everything in Seattle is expensive, even for mainland USA prices, let alone factoring in the USD/AUD conversion.. So forget shopping and…

Firstly, congrats! I bought my now-wife's engagement ring from GS Diamonds at QVB back in 2015. It was a while ago now, but I was really…

Costco newbie question - can you call them to check stock on products like this?

Same for me... Then the website stopped responding.. The worst part is that I actually need one of these too :(

So here's my wild speculation based on reading news articles from many sources over the past few months (ie, I have no detailed or…

History says this to be true according to those who bought one in the past ~10 years. I think these inline 6 engines are a new design…

I've heard good things about the inline 6 diesel in the CX60! I did test drive the 'Pure' grade petrol CX60, which is a 2.5L NA 4…

I can't speak for the Chinese alternatives as I haven't driven them. Was going to test a BYD SL6 if I didn't find something soon though! A…

I very nearly bought a CX60 recently. Looked at new and used, test drove a bunch - all petrol versions, not the diesel or the PHEV. I think…

Watch bands for Apple watches too! Buy from Apple and they're $79+ Buy from an online retailer (Bandify, Strapify, etc) and they're $20-30+…

I've been considering a CX60 and have been test driving several, new and used. They say that from mid 2025 onwards Mazda have been making…

Not a fun situation OP, but kudos to you for recognising what isn't working for you! My advice to you is this: 1. stay enrolled but defer a…

@rawm - I hear you on this. Have been looking at Mazda's - CX5 and CX60. In the CX5 the G20 is really not great and feels underpowered.…

LOL - in one post you have acheived ultimate OZB Camry status, and simultaneously lost OZB cred :)

@GordonR - This is a really good explanation, thank you! I've not bought a car in a loooong time so I've never really thought about it, but…

Fair enough. I've been looking at a new or recent used car the past few weeks and all the dealers I've spoken with have asked about whether…

> Paying cash, not financing, and showing little interest in an extended warranty/paint protection, will weaken your negotiating position.…

Thanks Euphemistic. Agree that inspecting it is critical. I'd prefer to drive the thing myself first as well and make sure its ok. I guess…

Thanks everyone, seems the consensus is to not bother with the broker/agent. I'll make sure I do the usual PPSR checks and have anything…

Anyone used a buyer's agent or broker type service for buying a used car? I'm referring to the services like what Carexpert.com.au offers…

I agree with this when you're talking specs at new and bang-for-buck, but my feeling on this is that many of the newer brands and cars…

Assuming 5 seater SUV is the brief - X-trail or Mitsu Outlander? RAV4 is probably the pick of the mid-size SUV bunch, but they cost more…

Did you have to send a screenshot of the promo? I've contacted them via the app and they've asked for one. As it was used in my order its…

I’ve had the same thing happen.. lame uber..

Anyone else here done this for their Pixel phone? I'm eligible for a payment but I've never used Payoneer before. Feels kinda scammy when I…

So just an update to all who responded here. I switched from Woolworths Mobile over to Telstra Prepaid Mobile a few months ago now. So far…

Fair point re fuel economy. Though I’m not sure many of the manufacturer claims are all that reliable - including the Mazda ones..

Yep, I’ve been looking at a new(er) car recently - the RAV is the ‘go to’ for 5 seat SUV’s it seems but they’re a bore to drive..…

Hey I’m just providing OP with some alternative options for their consideration. No need to troll.

Yep, just in front of the transmishin. :p
