What does the price include?

The $19,990 shown is an indicative price (drive-away), not a live offer. Your location, options and dealer quote can change the total. Confirm an itemised price before comparing finance.

How we compare prices and costs

How are my costs calculated?

The calculator above uses your salary and lease term. Savings are compared with a standard car loan; they are not a discount on the vehicle. Running costs are estimated until you enter your own budget.

Does my employer need to offer novated leasing?

Yes. Your employer needs to support salary packaging for the lease. You can use the calculator without entering contact details, then check with payroll which providers and arrangements your employer accepts.

What happens at the end of the lease?

The calculator shows an estimated final payment to keep the car. Your lease contract sets the actual amount and end-of-lease options. Check these with your provider before signing; refinancing or changing cars may require a new agreement.

What happens after I request a callback?

You review the contact form and consent before submitting. Your enquiry and estimate are sent to our leasing and finance partner, so they can discuss your needs and next steps. Requesting a callback does not commit you to a lease. You can also email yourself the estimate instead.
