There are options to get a car, its insurance, a fuel card, all servicing, replacement tyres and more with it coming from your pre-tax salary. See novated-leasing for more information.
Note 1: Do detailed financial planning if considering a novated lease, fully understand any lease limitations and total costs over time. They can outweigh the tax saving benefits.
Note 2: Pressing for discounts and buying a brand-new car outright then paying for your overheads (fuel, insurance etc) as normal is often more cost-effective long term. You avoid mileage restrictions and final balloon payments.
Every June Australia blows up with discounts and offers. Car showrooms, major clothing outlets and big electrical business drop huge amounts off their old stock. And you can negotiate further still.
If you don’t need something urgently and it can wait, this may be worth waiting for. It’s a great time to barter for your kid’s 1st car or big electrical items.
