Advice on a work car...

[QuickR33Melb]

For those of you that don't know me I have been working in the Finance area of Govt for the last two years while studying. This week I applied and successfully got a job in the Finance Dept of McDonalds Australia which I am estatic about!!

The package for my position includes a car either in a Novated or Operating lease arrangement.

I unfortunetly must buy new or close to new as I was reading the contract with an R34 in mind!

I have a budget of around 55k max and it looks like I wont be able to get an R34 with low enough km's to satify the conditions of the contract.

I have a few options in mind so if you know something about the following cars from personal experiance then let me know:

WRX Sti

XR6 Turbo (Mk2)

Maybe an Evo8 depending on availability and price.

The other thing is I just brought an R32 which I have been spending big $$$ on restoring to mint condition. I might have to sell up!! I really love driving the little bastard though but I really wont need it.

conrats on the job!

surely for 55k you could gt an R34GTT with low kms these days? how low do the kms have to be?

i like the idea of an XR6T but they are common as all hell these days...

if you like drifting then don't bother considering the rex. totally different car.

you should either keep the R32 as a weekend thrasher or sell me your turbo kit before you sell the car!

Stagea?

How old a car does a novated lease allow for?

[NS2500]

Go the scooby, I just novated an RS through work.

[QuickR33Melb]

The condition of the Maccas lease is no car more than 24 months FROM BUILD DATE and if so no more than 15,000km which pretty much rules out the R34.

To be honest a bright Yellow Mk2 XR6 or a black Sti are the two stand outs

What are the base line 350z's worth? have to go close?

WRX Sti, congrats on the job mate, nice perk!!

Congrats on the job mate.

I myself am getting a car through work too which is why my skyline is for sale... I dont get a budget and have the ability to pick any car like you... but the XR6T MKII is on my list and im getting one of them!

I like the idea of a Stagea....

Get a Forrester XT Luxury pack... about 44k on road.

Just tell them to swap the wheels with the current model WRX wheels cause the wheels and tyres on em are average.

My gf is thinking of getting one now she has a new job and a salary sacrifice
