Expected /projected Cashflow

Simple example - I'm a geek and would love to buy a beast laptop straight up.

Cash flow means I can't afford to do this. So I may have to buy base model now and upgrade ram, hdd etal as more money comes in.

oh I see. But aunty can you work on this brand if I visit you?

No alternative options for financing.

Basically like housing loans and mortgages. You pay a lot more over time than if you do a one time payment. Because you do not have the resources for a one off payment

We have to make these decisions all the time. Eg a genuine Honda generator will can run for 5 to 10 years or more, but few have 800,000 to 1,000,000 to put down. So you buy a Chinko elepaq or elemax or thermocool for 150k, knowing it will last 2 years max.

I own an opel zafira 2006 1.8L and to be honest it has been quite a nice ride though its not my everyday car. but I hardly hear anyone say something about it.

His arguments are baseless and lacks merit.

As an American CEO, and a female to boot, I'm sure you can chew gum and walk at the same time

My Wife was in class on a Friday morning, had scheduled C section the same afternoon and was back for exams in school on the following Tuesday.

Good evening house,i live in Abuja and i am about getting a MB C300 "09. I also noticed the 4matic of C300 &C350 are more in nos on the streets and dealers. even cheaper,if maintanance is higher why is 9 out of every 10Mercedes in Abuja '4matic? Also a friend said the shaft costs about 150k and one could change it 3 times in a year,is this possible?

Goldrush123:
Thanks.. c300 has RWD and 4matic... I know the difference between the two. I want to ask if the maintenance is about the same? Or 4matic has more maintenance issues

captainking:

Some may be rigid in accepting a different view.

We took the land rover to Radautoworks so they can check the motor (engine) and they not only look at it but also got the land rover defender 110 that hadn't run in 2 years to start and run in a day! Watch this space!

Piyke:
I totally understand this not being done in the west by shops. It's like trying to use a cobbler in the UK to repair a shoe...most times the bill will buy another shoe (except if you have a really expensive one). That said, for the able DIYer it's a viable option especially since OEM pumps could be well over $300 (no shipping fees) and the other option being a toks PS pump you can't vouch for. From my experience with the Edelmann kit, they are quite good and are mostly around $20 or under. Will also consider rebuilding my steering gear if need be for the same reasons above.

Aunty Aunty Radu.... Congratulations in advance. We will be right here waiting.. Mwile I go need gate man? Oga Gazuzz dey vex say I let one... Erm... Straffboy Comot upper chime.

You don't necessarily need synthetic motor oil.

Use synthetic oil when the engine has been built for such close tolerances.

What did Toyota say about oil for this truck? Did they specify synthetic oil? I would guess not.

I've seen many race engines that use non synthetic oil.

This engine failed (by looking at the internals ) due to burnt oil, abused oil system, extended service change internal on subpar oil.

PS: I peaked inside my 4Runners engine via the oil cap and I quickly closed it so I didn't puke I just pray it makes it for 7 or so more visits then I'll yank it out.

Kits are actually available https://www.amazon.com/Edelmann-8934-Steering-Pump-Seal/dp/B0049MGBXA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1473847293&sr=8-1&keywords=edelmann+8934

Decent prices can't be a cheap as rekitting .. Some of us are very cheap we don't like to replace what can be repaired for fraction of the price for replacement.

I guess it's a DIY thingie, so big shops probably don't do it.
I think Piyke did something like that on his DIY blog
