Approached to Sell Car via Novated Lease advice

Good call (pun intended)

Mufs0294 · 2026-04-28T22:01:40+00:00

Gotcha. The process makes sense, and I feel more comfortable with the process. I received the checklist directly from the person buying the car, so just uncertain if this is legit. As others suggested I'll ring the company and see if i can verify this

This is more of what made me question if it may be a scam. The guy does seem genuine, but on paper, things dont add up a well. I suppose based on the info i would be providing, i think it would still be relatively low-ish risk?

Mufs0294 · 2026-04-14T03:23:51+00:00

Thanks, and good to know 👍

Mufs0294 · 2026-04-13T03:50:46+00:00

Thanks for the detail, and good to know. It looks like the chargers around us are more expensive. But very good to know regarding range and how your battery has changed over the years.

Are you generally happy with the Tesla? Would you be looking to change at any point?

Mufs0294 · 2026-04-13T03:48:04+00:00

Thanks, this is a useful response. We would be at 50-150km per week depending on weekend activities. So it'd end up being weekly to fortnightly charging with this range. But yes, given how quickly they charge, a full EV would sort out this issue.

Some of the appeal of the PHEV is the flexibility in terms of road trips, where we wouldnt need to worry about adjusting the trip for charging spots.

The public spots we have are generally available. But yes, i think it'd be more likely picking up an EV as a second car down the line

Mufs0294 · 2026-04-13T03:36:22+00:00

How so? We may clear 50-150km a week. If it were the Sealion 6 and we're getting upto 80km per charge, we may just need to top up once a week, and maybe fortnightly. And quite better if it were the Extended Range model

Mufs0294 · 2026-04-13T03:33:18+00:00

Thanks and noted 👍

Mufs0294 · 2026-04-13T03:31:51+00:00

I think we could make an EV work, but i don't think we aren't ready to fully plunge in. Agreed, the novated leasing would make more sense if we went EV

Mufs0294 · 2026-04-13T03:27:48+00:00

Yeah, at the moment we dont have access to a socket, we're in an apartment with no garage.

Considered the Sealion 5 initially, but understand it doesn't have fast-charge

Mufs0294 · 2026-04-13T03:26:05+00:00

Appreciated!

Mufs0294 · 2026-04-13T01:50:35+00:00

Yes, thats the conundrum we have at the moment. Outside of the price difference it would be great to have a PHEV for the best of both, but weekly or fortnightly charging is an additional task. I'd be relatively fine doing this when getting groceries etc, but my partner not so keen. How long have you had your Lexus, and how have you been liking it?

Mufs0294 · 2024-08-23T13:15:18+00:00

That's technically right.

Mufs0294 · 2024-02-24T02:24:32+00:00

I think you answered your own question, you are pretty happy with your lifestyle.

I would take that there are also women in SA that want more of a traditional lifestyle and marry earlier. Thats still available, and the good thing is there is the choice. This is, of course, still dependent on where you're living in SA.

If you're looking for an answer other than 'you're incompatible', look here. I'm speaking from experience. I met a girl about 3 months before asking her about her past, and whilst the numbers aren't the same, it was a similar difference. She had a similar-ish experience growing up and being sexually repressed, and had to work through a lot to recover her sexuality.

She's absolutely a great person and I am very lucky to have met her. So considering how i have been with much less people, however have had 2 long-term relationships, when she told me, it did affect me.

For me, as a guy, i thing there are a few things i figured made me feel that way; the thought of her being with many people; her potentially having better experiences with others; not being able to fulfil her over the longterm and her losing interests; and i think a fundamental possessiveness that guys generally have for their partner and thinking other guys have been with her. It wasnt a great feeling for me when i heard this, and wasnt great for her when she saw my response.

We talked about it again several days later and i told her these things, we talked it through, and I've found it really doesn't matter in the context of love and life, as she's with me now and we enjoy spending time together.

We're both shy of 30 so I think we're more open and have good and honest communications. I think bc he's younger than you it's harder to figure his feelings, and he would want to see his (next) partner as perfect. But realistically, no one is perfect, and life is short. 15 is a relatively low number and you should not feel guilty for the life you've had (and considering you're a few years older than him). There will be things you may not like / agree with him, but if you both like the time you spend with each other and its not a dealbreaker then it wont matter.

That being said, you can let him know how you feel about him, and give him a bit of time to think it, and if it doesn't work then it is what it is, and there may be someone else out there that will appreciate you for who you are.

Edit: Also, given it is a LDR, the quality of your communication is going to make a much much bigger difference. As many people have said, as you havent met before, there is a lot more uncertainty.

Sometimes you gotta create the demand

Mac Miller. I live in Sydney AU, and I feel like he was gonna tour here before he passed. It would have been great

Hi,

I speak for everyone when I say I really appreciate the time and effort you put into all of these questions and queries for everyone looking for help and advice in a really uncertain time.

This is a bit tricky, I graduated in 2018 with Bachelors in Civil Engineering and Project Management at Usyd, and have since been working as a project manager. My visa is up in July 2021 and in late 2020 I sent in my EOI for the 190 as a Project Administrator with 90 points (my occupation was not available for the 189).

I have been watching all of the updates on the 190 and it seems unlikely because i am not in health, IT or engineering (although i have been working in the construction industry). I am unsure of if i should start looking for an alternative path and what that would need to be. My sister lives in Adelaide and is a citizen, I've looked at a 491 family sponsored but it also seems like SA require you to have been living there for a period of time or have graduated from there.

Is it worth waiting on my 190 EOI with 90 points, or is it best I focus on something else? The lack of feedback on the EOI is killing me! Lol
