Andyrob Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Hey all Quick one. Just got my 457 through, and start work this week. Had hoped to novate my car lease, but might struggle as apparently they don't like the fact that I have a probation period in my contract. Anyone know of any good (and also not rip-off merchant) car dealers or finance companies I can go to? Ive been hiring a car the last 9 weeks, but it's VERY expensive for a car I don't even like! And I need to get rid of it for my street cred, and bank balance!!!! Any ideas? Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rivera Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Don't worry about your street cred. Buy a reliable bunky and then you can sell it for pretty much what you bought it for when your novated lease comes through. I'm driving my daughter's bunky at the moment as I greatly prefer driving it to my Navarra and the running costs are miniscule compared to the Nissan.

Guest loujcharlet Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 Hi Rob, We're moving to Perth in November from London although neither my husband nor I (I'm an Aussie, he's English) will be looking to get a job until January. Will we be able to buy a car on finance or lease one when we arrive, or do we need to wait until we've got a job? I've been in London for 12 years so will have no credit history in Australia. Thanks, Lou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chardy Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 For a smart car owners they should know what is better if leasing or owning a car. Although both of them have advantages but also has disadvantages but most car owners do car buying than leasing. No offence Jenna, but your post is very hard to read or make sense of ?

Thanks, Lou You will probably have more chance of finance through a dealer than the bank and the dealers can be far more flexible on the interest rate they offer you and will undercut the banks almost every time.

nicolac34 Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Gumtree. We bought a crappy car for $1,500 (couldn't believe the cost, would be worth £100 in the UK) ran it around for six months and sold it for $1,500! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
