Help with car finance
When obtaining car finance, particularly for the first time, it can be quite daunting. There are a number of finance products available out there from a wide range of financiers. Each financier sets their own rate and fees, so it can be difficult to calculate the true interest rate you are paying. The best way to compare car finance products is by looking at the monthly repayments. However, this is not a foolproof way in determining you are obtaining the best car finance product. You may have locked into a car finance package with high fees or penalties for paying out your finance early.

Storm hails car bargains
The recent storm in Melbourne caused chaos within the car dealership industry. As massive hailstones came down so did the prices of the cars. Many dealerships were uninsured for hail damage and as a result have had to slash the prices of their cars to remove their damaged stock. Car dealerships all over Metropolitan Melbourne are having a “hail sale”. Dealerships want to remove their damaged stock this weekend and are willing to negotiate heavily on all new and used damaged stock.
If you are looking for a bargain on a car then this weekend is the best weekend to negotiate a price for you. Some cars are only slightly damaged so it is worthwhile looking at what the dealerships have to offer.

Salary package your vehicle
By salary packaging your vehicle you will be able to make your lease repayments from your pre-tax income. This is done by way of a novated lease. A novated lease is an agreement between yourself, the financier and your employer. Your employer makes finance repayments on your behalf from your pre-tax income. This is now a commonly used method of financing a vehicle.
As you can save thousands of dollars each year by using this method it is an attractive way to finance. You also have the option to take out a fully maintained novated lease whereby the running costs of the vehicle are also deducted from your pre-tax income. Running costs of a vehicle include fuel, servicing, registration and insurance. You may also wish to salary package your partner’s vehicle to take further advantage of tax savings.
By taking out a novated lease you are not only restricted to using your vehicle whilst in employment with your current employer. Should you cease working for your employer your novated lease can be carried over to your next place of employment. Employers are happy to offer this method of financing to their staff as they do not carry any risk. Employers no longer need to offer company vehicles to their staff and carry depreciating assets on their books. Employees can purchase the car that they wish, rather than adhere to strict company policies.
