Tank Time

Its all good and I am aware the taxable benefit will not be received until next year or in reality the following May when the tax bill is due (5/2011) - which is way down the track. I am only eligible for the 30% because I was over the 50% threshold, but its better than nothing. I bought some business equipment and had it installed prior to the 09 financial year so I got some benefit this year. If I wasn't knee deep in negotiations for equipment I would done the deal on the car earlier! Thanks for welcoming me onboard the forum. One of my best mates owns Jim Mock motorsport who have specialized in the ford inline 6 for as long as I can remember. He egging me on to flashtune the G6E turbo and believes there is no way ford can tell it has been tuned once its flashed back. I have chased around the forums but there seems to be major debate over this. Someone inside ford will know the truth and I cannot wait to find out.

Hi fellas, first post! I just ordered mine mid June and I was hoping for $52k buy but as was previously stated but there was none around. I heard there was better deals a couple of months ago prior to the April release (6% better fuel economy or something to that effect) Ford were offering $3800 discount for floor stock. I looked everywhere for floor stock in Melbourne with the colours I was after and had no luck. Anyway, I negotiated to $55k with 19s and safety pack in ego and cashmere. Price includes on roads etc. The car will be ready late next week which is extremely quick build time. The best part was most dealers only offered me 29k for the Navara and I ended up with 30.5k to match my payout figure. I spent 1 day negotiating with 5 dealers and told them the deal is happening today - I paid the deposit that afternoon and I was pleased with the outcome for a days work and have taken advantage of the tax benefit. I guess the best advice would be to wait until fy09 settles, negotiate to buy outright with a few dealers and then put pressure on for the trade in. After I test drove one I had to have it!
