A/C works great in e F6.But its had 2 HIM modules replaced and also it needed more gas from factory.

No it dosent add up!!!!!!!Someone is telling porky pies again.

Either HIM module or low on gas.I have replaced 2 HIM modules in 3000klms and also needed topping up with gas from factory.Its like an igloo now.

OMG it must be costing ford 10s of thousands of dollars in warranty with these modules.Left car in sun for 2hrs come back, bugger me dead air wouldnt come out of centre vents only directing onto feet and windscreen.Took it to ford come up with some drivers vent fault they cleared it then said car was ready.Went to start and what do you know no air coming from centre.Went and seen foreman he said its def the him module and they replaced it again with another new one. So we'll see how long this one lasts 2 him modules in 3500klms other then that the car is perfect and the a/c is probably one of the coldest I have ever felt that's after they topped the gas in it from factory.

Yes and I'd be starting of with a nissan GTR-35

I think your forgetting that hsv get there engines from usa also.That means they have the ls9 motors over there 6.2L supercharged to,the very same motor they run in there Z06 corvette.

I had a look at my insurance because it is on lease and its costing $765 per yr.I also rang up nrma and for top cover it would have been $922 per yr

Ok well all I know is that the company claims some sort of tax of it.That is what I said in the first place it is benifit to them aswell as to employee's otherwise why would big companies do it for.It somehow helps there tax thing or something. I think leaseplan australia is the only novated leasing company that allows you to put equity into the vehicle also, I tried orix because their the 2 we are allow to use but they wouldn't allow no such thing.

I know you dont claim the gst up front. I DONT PAY ANY GST ON ANYTHING ADDED TO THE VEHICLE OR ON THE COST.The company claims some gst componet otherwise what benifit do they get out of it.Mate I should know this is my 6th lease car and my 3rd vehicle that I've had to put money into to get under the lux tax bracket.Il scan my agreement if I have time and show you the breakdown (obviously crossing out my name and id number)

It is a lease mate.The company claims all the gst on the car.Im not sure how they structure it but it is to there advantage also employee's having lease cars.The only gst I pay is if I wanna purchase the vehicle outright at the end of 2yrs.I also have another lease car aswell a 2008 rav cruiser L.It finishes in dec though, the payout on it is 19k and it will have 50k klms on the clock,should get 30k + for a private sale. Do you know why they use ecm now?We use to be able to use all pre tax dollars once but they changed it 3 yrs ago,now the smaller amount which is the fbt running costs is post tax and the payment of lease is pre tax.My F6 is $365 pretax and FBT is $115 post tax per week.

well I thought I was in the 40% tax break, I earn anywhere between 140k a yr to 200k a yr.Your right about the equity thing,but with leaseplan australia your allowed to put 20% of the total price of vehicle towards as equity.I dont think any other lease company allows for that to happen(might be a bhp deal)Lux tax comes in at $57009 with bhp every cent over that you need to put in yourself to get below that figure.As I stated I put $8500 towards my FG F6,My total finance was $47857.I think for that car it is quiet cheap.But we get a huge discount and dont pay any gst up front because the company claims the gst componet.

after reading some replies I think most of you people are misled about novated leasing.The real benifit of leasing is if you are in the 40% tax bracket,the savings are from the discount that you get and the gst on vehicle which you pay at the end.I work in mines and I fall into this department.I have 2 lease cars 1 at 2008 rav 4 cruiser L and 2 a brand new FG F6 sedan.The benifit of lease is to reduce your tax.Im with leaseplan australia which are pretty good to deal with because you are allowed to put 20% equity into the vehicle to reduce the monthly repayment,Example is on my F6 I pay $1660 pretax pm and $457 pm post tax for the fbt side of things.The residual after 2 yrs is $25550 and it will have 50000klms on the clock.I also added some equity to the vehicle of $8500 to reduce the payments because I also have the rav4.The payments per month include all servicing,tyres,insurance,registration and fuel. If you look after your vehicle you can surely make money on them depending on what vehicle you purchase I guess.My previous 4 cars have been all hsv's the last being the ve r8 which I made 13k profit from it. If anyone wants to know a bit more feel free to ask.
