novated lease


Recommended Posts

anyone here working in I.T and leasing their car thru novated lease or a company like prosperion??

just wanted to know if it's worth it, any benefits or savings, any negative thoughts/opinions??... any recommendations..

i've scored a new job that requires me using my car to visit client sites and was advised that getting a car thru lease would be better due to the tax benefits you get.

would appreciate some insights/thoughts into this..

cheers

Jordan

I'm looking at getting a my99 or my00 wrx with prosperion soon.Basically with them .....

The car cannot be older then 8years at the end of the lease . running costs are paid with your pre tax income so you actually pay less tax. Among other great advantages of this system the main reason I'll be taking it up is becuase of the insurance benifits. How else can a 19year old living in a western suburb of sydney get insurance on a wrx for $1200 a year :P. Also it's great for the budget challanged people like myself. All the running costs including the payment on the car is taken out each week, for example when the rego comes they send you a new label so no need to be trying to put money away for things like that.

I'm leasing my GT-T through them. Talk to JimBo he'll take care of you.

7heavn has summed it up in a nut shell....great way for people who can't budget themselves!

Prosperion give you a shell card, so if you're VERY picky on fuel brand you might wanna take this into consideration.

EDIT: oh, good thing about shell card is u can use it to buy oils for your car like g/box oil, motor oil, diff oil :uh-huh:

Also service is bundled up...u call them, they come pick up your car and bring it back :)

Thanks Guys :)

Jardan, have a quick look at http://board.performanceforums.com/forums/...readid=67141620 if you havn't seen it as yet.

As most proabably know by now, I work at Prosperion. Not only that, but I also have my vehicle through the package that we offer, so you can be assured that I have answers for any questions you have or will have in the future as I've been there and done it all before.

Whether you use the vehicle for business or not, the package we offer is beneficial in any case, even if you travel 40,000 km p/a in the vehicle to and from the Hunter Valley for personal reasons.

Not a problem Jordan .... I think I actually took a message for Jeff from you the other day, he was going to ask me to give you a call (shoulda taken out the middle man :P) but I was out of the office at the time.

I'll keep an eye on things to see how they are going and make sure Chris does his best for you.

Jimbo: is that all thats left? damn!.. so what options do I have? should I go put a deposit on one? I don't start the new job till next Monday so I still don't know if they'd do it. I will try to maybe ask them sometime this week if they would do it. blue Spec R GT sounds nice minus the gay wing :D

Yeh, there's not too many round unfortunately. It's dissapointing as we we're the largest buyer of S15 200SX in the country, they were a great car and everyone wanted them .... trying to find a suitable replacement is a little hard :D

If you start your job next Monday I'd be trying to ask your employer now about inc as part of your package, if not, first thing on Monday get us to get in contact with your employer to get things sorted out.

Are you speaking with Chris or myself at the moment in regards to the vehicle ?

    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
