$50k is trade, and ~$700/m is pre tax, and on my tax braket, it works hard for me.
Yes it's lots of money, but you can't take it to the grave...

Don't forget we pay a lot more than you guys for cars here.
But we get paid a lot more too!

So you really think they have NFI?

Right, most dealerships here are as well. Which is part of my reasoning for saying they're even further from "the know" than official Toyota big wigs/engineers/etc. There is a strong possibility that they have discussed quantities, as far as which dealerships get what number of product, but again... I don't see Joe Schmoe salesman knowing any more than Johnny Googleuser in terms of definitive pricing/specs on a car that is 6-14 months from launch.

Depends on which NFI you're referring to? No Further Information? No Freaking Idea? I agree with the latter. lol

True, you can't take it with you, but I'm not going to drop even 60k USD on one here in the states. Much more exciting options, IMO, than the ISF @ 60k USD. Doesn't mean you can't though. :happy0180:
Also, how the hell do you get to pay your car payment PRE tax? I WANT THAT

isn't it like a salary sacrifice?

Wait are you paying $350 pw or $700 pm? As the 2 are different lol one is $1400* pm and the other is less than $200* pw respectively. What finance term is that 5 years?

Yeah, novated lease. Handy when you're spending this kind of money. Works out to about $200 a week (in the hand) better off than if I got a car loan and paid for everything myself.

Its ~$350/w take home money (on my wage).
Sorry for the confusion, others are changing my figures lol!
I get paid fortnightly, and it's about ~$700 less take home pay.

Got a meeting on friday to sort it out, but prob over 3 years with about ~$27k residual value (pay out figure at the end). Or do 2 years and cost a bit more, then another year to get lower residual value.

If you're interested, I'll pm you a quote if you really want.

[bc_106]

$350 x 52 x 3 = $54,600

Including the payout value so that you own the car

$54,600 + $27,000 = $81,600

Sounds like a good deal if you can get an ISF for that price.

Ahh okay, No im not really interested in the IS-F, LFA on the other hand I just remember when I was looking at a novated lease, it was quite a good deal, but I just couldnt afford it at the time as I was on trainee wages, and havent looked into it since.

I like the ISF...

I just can't stand the fake exhaust tips and heavy weight of the car...

No faker than bolt on tips? Exhaust still blows out there....
Heavy weight yeah I agree, but 1700 kg is still a lot lighter than the other V8's on the market here by 150kg - 200kg.

Just found out you can't put any capital into a lease? Spoils the party a bit. Just have to work out if I want to get a ~$70k loan.... I own everything else outright at the moment. Just the running costs to think about, but its about extra ~$200 rego, ~$400 insurance, maintenance costs are more but not scarey (15k intervals vs 10k), fuel costs are the same (if I put around lol!) - compared to the Prado now.

Just have to see how much the missus wants this car....

Should be able to, the lease calulator that my work used asked if I wanted to put a lump sum into the car before I started the lease, and that reduced the monthly payments and residual. Also let me come with you when to test drive the LFA or let me watch lol I just wanna hear that baby.
