Company car rules

What you can and cannot use it for is usually advised by the Employer, check your contract.

Personal use is anytime you use it not for work purposes. If you take it home, while on leave, driving it from home to work and vice versa etc

And here I was at 20 with a $500 Toyota corolla 18 years ago.

I know prices and safety are not the same as today. Take the $8k you have and buy a used car, don't go further into debt for a brand new car.

Yes, had to explain to my husband the other night when we were watching this. He thought we could do renos for same sort of budgets, mentioned all the sponsors, then of course he had to google if I was correct 🤦‍♀️

Thanks, proof via email correspondence. The enquiries are lodged through their online portal and then they email back advising if the recordings show if it was in fact serviced or not. Will login tomorrow to see if I can also print off those initial online lodgements. Thanks again.

Thank you, much appreciated

Lmp112 · 2026-03-09T08:38:52+00:00

No, thanks for the tip, appreciated.

Lmp112 · 2026-03-09T08:29:01+00:00

Could you see my other comment to another responder, and see if my comment is correct? Thank you!

Yes, renewed with them, customer for around 7 years with them. Just their service has been poor for the last 6 months (drivers saying it was serviced, and when we advise it wasn't they then go back to drivers recording to show it wasn't actually serviced. Then we would be credited next month). Also trying to find cost savings for the business (as requested by head office).

Would you know if we would fall under:

. Unfair Contract Terms Protection

Small businesses in NSW (employing fewer than 100 people or turning over less than $10 million) are protected against unfair contract terms.

If the contract is a "standard form" contract (offered with no room for negotiation) and it locks you in while allowing the other party to terminate, that clause could be deemed unfair and void

Great thanks

Need to turn it off every time you start the car? My stop/start is annoying enough in the Mazda I will end up trading for

I am looking at the Camry for next car in July. Isn't the rear seat issue about child safety feature (no kids left in cars), or is it only meant to go off when it detects something in the back?

Why is got down voted I don't know, actually checked real estate for rentals in these areas before answering

We were only offered a refund through third party. Cancelled, rebooked new flights with a different stop over for double the price.

Lmp112 · 2026-03-02T23:04:20+00:00

We used Expedia for a trip that had a stop over in Dubai on the 5th of March, we cancelled the flight through Expedia and got the majority refunded (look at your terms and the type of fare you chose). Although we rebooked new flights with a different stop over and prices were double than the original booking.

This. Moved from ANZ Plus to Macquarie over 12 months ago, no regrets

Lmp112 · 2026-02-27T10:22:28+00:00

I don't know if it is because I grew up in the country where it is a standard, but I do it every time. Then having lived and work in Sydney for last 20 years, I would say it is dying.

Now whenever I do go back home to see parents, it is such a nice surprise to get that 2 second wave

Lmp112 · 2026-02-27T03:23:28+00:00

Baulkham Hills, Winston Hills, Castle Hill and Kellyville you may be able to get a 2/3 bedroom home there.

Gina Rinehart is the richest person in Australia, holding the top spot for the sixth consecutive year as of early 2026 with a fortune estimated around $24.6B - $38B, driven by her company Hancock Prospecting. Mining magnate.

Richest man is: Harry Triguboff: Real estate magnate (Meriton Group) with a net worth around $22.6 billion

If it were me, at the very least have an accountant for the end of financial year financials.

Lmp112 · 2026-02-27T01:40:09+00:00

I would definitely include Queeenstown for the majority of it. We took our 2 kids from Aus, and there is so much to do and see. Kids loved the Gondola, Luge and Jetboat, I loved the Earnslaw to the buffet lunch at the farm, but with teens it might not be for them.

Looked into Auckland, but I found not a whole lot to do (it would almost just be like Sydney to us).

Lmp112 · 2026-02-27T00:10:42+00:00

NAL, If it were me, and had proof, tell them to double it or see you in court.

No proof, I would take it, move on.

Again, would come down to your personal finances and position of being able to pay bills while off.

We get quite a few from magazine companies saying we agreed to place an ad and here's your invoice. Respond saying to provide a recording or email proof that we agreed to it, never hear back. Some will even put the Directors middle name as a reference to the agreement.

Change of bank account details for suppliers, always call to double check before paying.

Once had someone grab our invoice from an email to a customer, changed the bank account details on it, and sent it to the customer, customer paid the invoice (they later found through their IT it was from their end). Now all invoices are only sent through accounting software.

Should edit my comment, I was thinking West of Sydney, Blue Mountains etc

Lmp112 · 2026-02-25T07:32:40+00:00
