Financially speaking this might be most sensible option, due to how much we are paying to rent cars... I love seeing my wife have huge smile on her face whenever we arrive at some forest or park.
That said, I also received another quote from another novated lease provider. First line of the email said 12 months wait lol.
Yeah Im not saying dont buy something, Im saying maybe look at other options if you want new. The Mazda 3 has a great reputation and I THINK has at least some stock. Personally Im looking at a Kia Sportage, but even thats like 6-8 months wait.
Yep. I've done some drives in various cars as well. But will continue to look around and do test drives.
I'm also looking at getting hybrid as their fuel economy is pretty much through the roof (and I heard it's less maintenance other than replacing the traction battery every once in a while).
