We took it down Arthurs seat road in VIC and it was fun, the J5 was slowing to around 25km/hr on high regen, or you could have it on low…

All time low to previous deal Seems to have $20 codes PRIMEAPP20 or other buy from category and get $20 offers which would be cheaper by…

31/5 start for parking also no go for Value South

Oh and remove road side assistance if they offer it. Jaecoo offers it each year you service the car with them up to 8 years.

Depends on how many years lease and how much driving expected I think. Benefit of putting it in the lease is that it comes out of your…

I'm buying the 22kW 3 phase 5m EV charging cable, good price at $160 after discount. Hard to get them Australia compliant (RCM…

Previous Finder Optus offer still not paid yet - sitting on "Validated". Has been 4 months.

What's with the 20% Tax (supposedly GST) amount? Collecting it in the name of GST is illegal right?

It's a sub brand of Chery motors. They don't use this brand in the domestic Chinese market. Downside is we can't determine the track…

Check out thread from TEER3X on 08/03/2026 - 20:24. Residual % is pretty much set by ATO.

I believe it's blended braking as friction brakes feel a bit different but I don't know for sure. I believe it's regen on lighter taps,…

Regen is fine for me at low. Played around with medium, I can get car to coast at 0% power by gradually releasing accelerator, but it jumps…

We generally put toddler car seat left (isofix + top tether) and child booster in the middle (with seatbelt and top tether), adult on the…

I think there is confusion with the two offers: 1) $36,990 drive away, free premium paint, till 30/4/2026 (this was previously first 1000,…

I found that the car periodically would switch on to do things, like refresh the cabin air, in the process it would charge the 12V battery…

Just picked up the J5 on Wednesday 4 days ago, loving it. I'm new to EVs so perhaps it caters to my preferences well. Can fit the wife and…

We wanted dark interior, they had a ship load come in mid March, I think next one is May. It depends on the configuration, will need to ask…

Thanks Dave, that explains it. One less $1,977 payment brings everything in line.

These "refundable deposits" are less refundable than people think, if you are intending to rely on that, might be good to check the exact…

Thanks Nom - that's why the difference in indicative rate of 9.8% (1 year) vs 7.8% (5 years). It does not explain the gap between 12.35% vs…

I asked about audio update today, apparently it's a DAB firmware update, not a speaker firmware update per se. Fingers crossed.

NL provider was able to source the same pricing, I gave it to the dealer where I test drove the J5, so at least they can earn the…

BYD discounts the base price (as explained by Dave) MillarX offers the loan that is used to purchase the car, which the buyer would then…

5 years is a long time - what if I change jobs, can the lease change over? If new employer doesn't play ball, what are my options?

I thought charging is usually by the 4.2c / km statutory formula? If you charged by solar the funds are still rebated to you right,…

You can get new for old replacement for new cars with some insurers, such as [AAMI if car is less than 2 years old on accident…

Most of us are going through novated lease, perhaps try private messaging freeb1e4me above - they "managed to get it for $35k driveaway…

Hi tc423, I'm calculating a nominal rate of 14.1%, curious where I went wrong? Ex GST price = 35237.4/1.1 = $32,034 Total expenditure…

I'm having the same problem, out of stickers now but still have a spare 3M adhesive. How did you apply the spare adhesive? Did you use a…

Yeah I have been having heaps of problems: 1) Firmware update is buggy, it causes the unit to display a grey box on the top left of the…
