Terms range from min of 12 months to 45 months max and all you need to do is estimate your annual kmsThey say its more for a small bussiness or the self employed but I dont know so much.It just makes me wonder now my car is worth $6.000 and cost me $22.000 ←Don't kid yourself mate - lease includes factors for depreciation, servicing, reg, tyres etc etc. Unless you can make the use of the tax benefit - I can not see how you can be better off in the long run.

Are the 03 and 04 XR6 bodys the same and same body kit etc or are they a bit different I thought they were the same but the more I look at them the more I think the 04 is better maybe I am just seeing things or its just a colour illusion.Cheers...Jason.

Personally, I think if you change your oil, and let the car warm up/cool down - it will be fine.I wouldnt get the extended warranty - the benefit is all gone in the amount you have to pay to have your car serviced when you could do it yourself.

I think the modern cars (just about all of them) are more reliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
