Recently Car Expert produced this report to showcase cars that are selling at a discount, despite the disruptions currently in the supply chain. Of course, there are headline cars like the BMW M8 Competition which can be had with a near $80,000 discount, but lets be honest, most OzBargainers cannot afford a $350,000+ car, so the real headline is the Nissan Leaf, an electric car that

  • Built in Japan
  • Has a great build quality
  • Has a decent inner city\suburban range
  • Priced reasonably

Every state has different stamp duty charges, in Vic it would be $44,716 + $1,881.60 = $46,597.60 driveaway.

    Yeah i get it's cool not to like chinese cars at the moment but this really isn't a deal
    270 manufacturer rates KMs, no V2L/V2G (not officially anyway). i'd argue in an EV battery tech is the most important, trumps even build quality. and leaf battery is subpar
    it's also two classes smaller than a MG or BYD
    really not a deal
    i wish they would bring VW ID3 here

        With abandoning the conservative govt. it will improve dramatically.

    Unobtainable deal. Relies on buying a price report that even then would still require negotiation with a dealer. Negotiation is not a bargain. Maybe this should be moved to a forum post.

  • wtfnodeal on 26/08/2022 - 14:42

    Not that I can afford an EV but curious how do the EV owners charge their cars? At home or mainly where the public charging stations are located? If charged at the charging stations, won’t the charging cables be easily removed by anyone walks past and has nothing better to do?

    • ihfree on 26/08/2022 - 14:58

      A friend with no charger at home charges at his local shopping centre when he goes shopping.

      won’t the charging cables be easily removed by anyone walks past and has nothing better to do?

      Unlikely, we live in a society. Haven't heard of this yet.

      • wtfnodeal on 26/08/2022 - 15:27

        What kind of lock? Are you sure you can legally lock a public charging station cable to your car while using it?

        • pegaxs on 29/08/2022 - 10:43

          Some cars come with locks in the charging port. When you plug the cable in, the car will grab it and lock it in when you lock the car and can't be removed until you unlock the vehicle.

    I think you can have a perfectly valid aversion to Chinese car brands without being at all racist.

    I'm sure, over the next 5-10 years the leading Chinese brands will continue their transition from cheap/low quality to quite decent, desirable and respected cars. The same process has occurred with Japanese, and then South Korean cars.

    Think how far Hyundai has come from the Excel in the 1990's to the cars like the Ioniq 5, Tuscon, i30, Santa Fe etc, that are all towards the top of most car buyers lists in their respective categories. (Same with their sister brand Kia.)

    Because the process of designing and building a car takes several years or more, any automotive brand takes time to address feedback and implement improvements for their next models, so they can't suddenly become high quality overnight.

    It is my opinion (and that of most automotive journalists & enthusiasts) that Chinese cars are generally inferior to the leading brands across many metrics, and mainly compete on price. It is not a big quality gap, but it is there, even though they are rapidly improving.

    For many, their price advantage is enough to give them serious consideration. If you only want a car to get from A to B that has X Y features and you only have Z to spend, then perhaps a Chinese brand car is a great option for you!

    But for others, it can be a perfectly understandable non-racist approach to avoid them (for now), until they have reached a certain quality threshold. I also have issues with the Chinese automotive sector running foul of intellectual property law. (e.g. Landwind X7)

    I am certain that in 10 years time we will have exactly the same conversations about cheap Indian cars not being as good as those from China!

    • keepsake on 26/08/2022 - 15:42

      Totally agree with your comment. 30 years ago when I used to live in Europe, people were talking badly about Japanese cars being inferior quality and copycat of European version. Now they are very much sought after as quality car. There is no hiding though that some European model are really nice but if you can afford the 100k plus figure. Everything has their own niche market. Many purchases are driven by emotion and brand rather than quality or features

    • Stopback on 26/08/2022 - 16:42

      Chinese people don't want Chinese branded cars. I don't think it makes any sense for china to compete on the same level. But go for better. Price.

    • taki on 27/08/2022 - 01:33

      With so many cars on the road the speed is very limited. Safety is much less important in city driving & if the public transport gets necessary attention (hopefully with the new govt.) Look at the big picture not marketing. Road deaths drastically improved in the past 50 years.
      Most don't need expensive or 4WD cars (just bad fashion & they should be taxed with higher insurance).

      • SupeNintendoChalmers on 27/08/2022 - 16:00

        Any government that taxes 4WD or SUVs will never see the light of day in government. Ever.

        Best we can do is gst on fuel/electricity

      • Euphemistic on 28/08/2022 - 13:18

        They are already taxed (albeit lightly) with higher rego (by weight) more fuel etc.

    Reported as 'no deal' since its actually quite expensive..

    • ihfree on 26/08/2022 - 15:54

      It seems like a decent discount over RRP. There are issues with the deal but price isn't one of them.

      Don't let your emotions get in the way of other people's choices.

    This is why EVs are a joke when it comes to climate change. People aren't going to magically go out and buy a brand new EV when they're already in massive amounts of debt due to having a large mortgage (or maybe they will, if they're stupid). We're one of the most indebted nations on the planet.

    If anything, I'll expect older Australians who have multiple properties to buy EVs. I ain't gonna do it, sorry Mother Earth.

    • Nom on 27/08/2022 - 16:36

      Are you asking this question because you're worried about an eventual $8000 bill ?

      Ask your friend to find out the cost of a brand new engine for a modern BMW… It's way more than $8000.
      If you're unlucky enough to need a new powerplant in the car's life, $8000 won't get you anywhere with many cars.

  • LFO on 27/08/2022 - 16:11

    in Vic it would be $44,716 + $1,881.60 = $46,597.60 driveaway.

    Back in 2012 when the Nissan Leaf was originally released in Australia, the price was about $52,000 with the USD at about 0.60AUD=1USD

    Cheaper and a bigger batt now.

    I still haven't worked out in what scenario it makes sense to buy an EV. Certainly not for a general home car.
    On paper the savings on fuel costs may justify the price if you're a full time Uber driver. However, how much of your time would be spent waiting for your batteries to charge? Every ~300km (which would be maybe every 7 hours?) you have to go home and recharge for a couple hours.
    I suppose some businesses where cars are used often but no more than 300km per day would be an optimal economic scenario. Like pathology labs going around town picking up lab test samples.
