    • With your employer work with any NL company?

      If yes, then go with the bigger ones likes Sgfleet, Novated lease Australia etc. they tend to offer a lower rate

    • +13

      Thanks for the plug.

      The spreadsheet works best if you already get a quote from an NL provider. However, if you simply want to explore, you can simply simulate "what would happen if my NL interest rate is 9%" by following the instruction on that reddit page, under the section called "I Don't Have A Quote For A Car, Can I Still Use This Calculator?".

      • +1

        Great work on this comprehensive resource! Sorry, I completely missed that in the Reddit page… Looks like I should go back and look through that in detail as I’m sure there are other tips as well. Cheers!

      • +1

        Super handy, thanks

      • +1

        Your calculator is amazing changyang, thanks.

      I got a few quotes recently. SG Fleet was the best, around $300 per fortnight for a Model Y with no extras.

    • I should be only in the 30% tax bracket ($45,001 – $135,000) for now so might not be worth it…

      Consider a 6-month or 12-month 'subscription' EV,
      but ask your employer if they would deal with AGL:

    Make sure you factor in that you're paying $2-3k more for insurance on a Tesla so the saving might not be so good

    • +6

      Not really. My current Sportage came at 1300 and Tesla at 1600.

    • Novated leases include insurance, right?

      • Yes. I heard from a friend, whose insurance is about 3k for Y.

        • +2

          Probably young and/or has a claim history. 3K is very expensive.

      • +1

        yes by default, you can get ur own too..

      • The ones they will offer you would be double the market cost. They will try to tell you we offer this and that which others don't nah. Not worth it

        • Ahhh gotcha

        • +1

          You can choose your own insurance provider and get reimbursed later (tax free ofc). Smart Salary lets me do that.

        • But if you really just had an accident and your fault, go with them lol

      • +1

        You can get your own quotes and claim under a NL so you get the GST and pre-tax benefits.
        By default NL will put in a whole lot of crap you don't need.

        • Thanks, didn't know that

          • +1

            @theguyrules: BTW: If they budget too much and you don't use it, you get it back at the end. It's not wasted money so to speak.
            I had an EV quote and the maintenance \ service budget was stupidly high.
            I got my own insurance and then claimed it back via the NL.

            • @UltimateAI: Good to know. I am still finding this rather confusing - might need to talk to an accountant

    • +3

      not last I got a quote. Maybe $2-3k more if u upgrading from a bicycle.

    • The premium to insure my Tesla for the past 2 years would only total slightly over $2k.

    • +1

      every post on EV has this. you just need to look around and not stick to budgetdirect

    • +2

      Model Y on NL owner here. My insurance is only $1400 per year, I use NRMA and my lease provider reimburses me the money. Tesla insurance can be pretty normal, just need to shop around.

    • My insurance quote for a new Model Y was only like $20 a month more than I'm paying now for an almost 15 year old ICE car.

  • I was watching youtube videos yesterday trying to understand novated leases. Is this an extra $3k off the purchase price when bought using a novated lease?

    • Reading the terms and conditions it will a reduction on the final invoice. So yes, it will reduce the cost upfront.

      I think, BYD on the other hand is giving it back to the customer. I could be wrong.

      • I think, BYD on the other hand is giving it back to the customer. I

        If they are that's a worse offer as you are paying interest on the 'cash back'

        • Or you can use it to buy accessories for the car, tint it, get a dashcam which are useless to package in the NL anyway and a cost to the user

          Even better, invest it and get more return than the leasing cost, or or put it towards the residual amount.

    Model y at 50k and I'll buy one. Even though I hate the idea. Why buy a RAV4

    • +4

      Wouldn't buy a Model Y right now mate. Juniper facelift is on the horizon.

      • True. Let's hope it's a similar price to the highlander. LR rwd would be my pick

      • +1

        Not just a facelift, major range upgrades too apparently

    • +2

      Couldn't tell you how happy I am with my rav4 hybrid.
      The RRP sucks, but that's our new normal with government deficit spending
      That said, seems like everyone outsources their head units to Bangalore because the Android Auto was below expectations - literally the one tech item that new car buyers want, phone integration, is crap. UI is otherwise functional and aesthetic.

      • +2

        Ouch, it's crazy you can get a model y for less than a rav4 hybrid now.

      • I also got a RAV4. I had the enormous displeasure of driving a toyota C-HR overseas and seeing how it shits all over the Rav4. The lane assist can actually accommodate bends in the road, there is a speed limiter, and the option for a non-radar cruise control.

        • +2

          Nobody buys c-hr so Toyota is going to stop making them. Overpriced and unnecessary with the rav4 and Corolla cross.
          And on lane assist you should try Tesla autosteer as it destroys anything that any toyota does.

        • +1

          My Rav4 borderline is self driving on the freeway with active cruise control and lane keep assist.
          I don't like the lane keep assist on normal B roads that I travel with crappy shoulders and inconsistent lane marking - I can't see fully self driving cars on the roads anytime soon.

          I think the Rav4 price reflects demand.
          Model Y buyers are giddy about their tax and fuel savings, but the largest cost to a vehicle is generally depreciation, which they are hit hard with.
          Electricity isn't even cheap in Sydney, you'd need a solar set up AND the ability to charge during that day (when solar generates) to drive a benefit. I briefly considered a Y when Rav4 was unobtanium

          • +1

            @gfjh567gh3: Depreciation is only a cost consideration if you sell early. For those who buy cars for 10+ years it is a non issue really.
            The rav4 is a mile behind a Tesla in driving performance and technology.
            The horribly rough noisy petrol engine and the lack of performance are pretty disappointing at the price of a rav4.
            Mind you the Tesla is far too firm and not a great handling car but that rough ride around town is also disappointing at its price

            • @choofa: Just because a car is electric and has 100% torque at 1rpm, doesn't mean that it's fast and handles well - if 100% torque is only 20nm on a 3 tonne car, that's going to be slow (numbers for example purposes, only). Let's not pretend that a base model Y is a Plaid.

              Rav4 AWD hybrid has 2x battery packs to help get off the line. I am supremely impressed by the handling (though I'm still running the engine in). The kinetic recovery system also goes very easy on the brakes, which is a high running cost for larger cars.

              Tesla is not renowned for fit and finish and longevity of components, such as suspension and panels and connectors - that would be my long term concern.

              • @gfjh567gh3:

                Let's not pretend that a base model Y is a Plaid

                Definitely not - but even the base model has 350Nm from standstill, which is 50% more than the RAV4 can muster at 3500rpm, so it's a hell of a lot more zippy. The Tesla has far better handling too thanks to the very low centre of gravity.

                The kinetic recovery system also goes very easy on the brakes, which is a high running cost for larger cars.

                Full EVs have a much larger battery and regen capacity, so they're significantly more capable in this regard. Brake pads and discs lasting beyond 100,000km is super common on Tesla vehicles.

                Tesla is not renowned for fit and finish and longevity of components, such as suspension and panels and connectors - that would be my long term concern.

                Panel gaps are a US thing and irrelevant to the Shanghai-made vehicles delivered to Australia. I've heard of issues with Model S suspension, but not so much on the Model 3 or Model Y.

                There's no question that the RAV4 is a really nice vehicle, and it was actually driving a rental hybrid RAV4 in EV-only mode that motivated me to test-drive an EV in the first place. But for a vehicle that's only used for relatively short drives and can be easily charged at home, IMO the Model Y is just better. I will never ever buy another ICE vehicle of any kind if I can possibly avoid it.

          • +1

            @gfjh567gh3:

            Electricity isn't even cheap in Sydney

            You don't need solar. There are a number of electricity providers that offer very cheap overnight rates for charging. Charging a Model Y works out at roughly $1.25 per 100km if you can take advantage of those rates.

            A hybrid RAV would be about $9 per 100km (5L/100km x 1.82/L). If you do a lot of kilometres, it can really add up.

            • @klaw81: Thank you, yes that's an option. Rates do vary suburb to suburb. I did my calculations on a model 3 , and found that the fuel use discount on the rav4 hybrid was only 50%. I don't drive a lot, so I wouldn't meet a payback period any time soon.
              Plus, as above, these Ravs just don't depreciate! Not that I intend to sell, I want to make this into a family heirloom… lol

        • "I had the enormous displeasure of driving a toyota C-HR overseas and seeing how it shits all over the Rav4." I'm confused, my interpretation: 'shits all over' = better, 'displeasure' = worse? is the RAV4 better or worse than the C-HR?

          • @22slurpee: The European C-HR was a far better experience, which is a displeasure because I spent the best part of $60k (DINK) on a Rav4.

  • yep got the same email.

  • so I basically need to talk to Maxxia?

    • you need to talk to whichever novated lease provider your company has arrangements with.

      Spoiler alert - expect to be price gouged by maxxia if they have exclusivity with your employer

      • true story, better of with 0% interest IMO

      • well previously it was smart salary, worked out to be 10% interest rate pre covid, so can't be much worse

    • +3

      It did go up with highland. Juniper will definitely go up.

      • But then it went down to a lowland.

        • Yes, this. Within 3 months.

          Yes. To milk the Tesla fans. Then it drops back to normal price for normal people.

      • won't go up too much given Kia EV5 and the 20 or so new EVs arriving in 2025. Not if they want to sell anything anyway

  • Which translate into $14.42 week for 4yr, depending how long ur lease is it.

    The real question to the Novated Leasing company is what is the interest rate on the car loan component? They hate that question as it is always higher than what the banks are offering. You can usually get 5.99% or 6.99% on car loans at Police Credit Union. At the moment the rate is 6.24%. When I looked into one of these last year they said the loan interest rate was 13.99%

    • +2

      That’s how they get you.

    • +2

      The one my work uses is 8.9%

    • +13

      Do be aware that while the "interest rate" under the hood of NL is higher than typical car loans, because of the discount effect of funding it with pre-tax money, you can't simply compare NL interest rate and typical loan interest rate directly.

      For example, a 15% NL on top or second top tax bracket will still come in cheaper than a 6% car loan.

      My spreadsheet does all the above calculations in detail and you can verify all the numbers for yourself.

        Very true - some may not be aware what a game changer FBT-exemption for EV has been for NL.

    • Lease Plan (owned by SG Fleet) is currently around 7.6%. Not sure if it is employer negotiated rate.

    Can we get it together with $1000 referral code to order new Tesla?
    Not 100% sure how to order the new car with referral code and through novated lease…
    Will be $4000 off if that works.

    • +3

      If you click on a referral link and place an order, $700 referral is deducted off the drive away price.
      I'm guessing once you placed an order and go through the process of filling out the details, if you selected novated lease it will deduct $3000 off the final invoice for you to send to your NL company.

      Same. I wanted a model 3 but thought they were overpriced, but right as the price has hit reasonable his toxicity has surged.

      Shame there's no 3rd choice. If Mazda or Subaru was making proper electric cars I'd jump on that. Maybe even a Euro if they were competitive with Chinese EVs, the current price premium doesn't seem worth it.

      • That's why I like the options from Polestar and Volvo, Euro designs, built in China. Rather competitive with the Teslas after their price drops last year. They feel better, but seem to suffer from the same build quality issues as Tesla that result in issues that need fixing.
