Car inclusive of GST = 59,280 Dealer delivery = 4,000 (yay for only one stealership) Options inclusive of GST = 14,848 Car price before LCT + onroads = 78,148 Here in WA, our stamp duty is 6.5% flat on all cars over $45,001, as opposed to your 2% in Qld, a difference that works out to be $2,667 alone. So stamp duty = $3,853 LCT = $909 (33% x (78,148 - 75,375)) Rego = $590 - again, differs per state Bringing total on road to $83,480 So an on-road offer of $78,000 represents a saving of $5,480 here in the West, which is more exciting than your calculation! Edit: I read Noosa but didn't read the rest, I see you're now in Melbourne. In that case, your stamp duty is 5%, which is still 1.5% lower than ours and equates to $889.20 more saving.

Finally got a date today. My X1 will arrive in Australia mid August. So I can only assume 2 to 3 weeks after that I should hopefully have it.
I hope it has been worth the wait. |

Someone at work mentioned that since I'm salary sacrificing for my X1 then I should be entitled to a Fleet Discount that is most commonly offered (this is going through LeasePlan). Does anyone know whether BMW offers this? I know Nissan do and they knocked 10% of the price of the Dualis I was originally looking at. If they can lop just 5% off then I won't have to pay any LCT. It's the blooming LCT I don't want to pay (geez 33% is a bit rich don't you think?)

As to your leasing question, I know when you salary sacrifice, you don't pay GST so you instantly save 10% off the purchase price (something about your employer being able to use the tax credits). Other than that, I don't know much about other "fleet discounts".

Another way to achieve discounts and reduction in dealer delivery charges is if the organisation you work for is a member of the BMW corporate programme. You also get 2 years free servicing through this. This is not part of a lease though. |

Just picked up my new Space Grey beast a week ago - and what a car it is
But was wondering, does the Business sat nav have a hard drive I can save music files to and does the CD player read DVD's? (music files). Cheers |

Guys
Do the deal without Corporate Plan and get them down as low as you can. The dealers will load all of their profit into dealer delivery etc. Once you have them as low as you can, then state you are a corporate plan emmeber and you will then get the $4k or so off dealer delivery as wel as 2 years servicing etc. I got a great deal on mine doing it that way. |

I 100% agree but it worked for me. Got a firm quote from Sydney BMW then took it to Brisbane and got the price matched with the Corporate plan. I was pleased with myself to say the least!
