When Sue Buchanan first heard about novated leasing at her work, she went away and did some research – and came away impressed. “I discovered the benefits outweighed those of car finance, particularly in my circumstance where I drive frequently and travel long distances,” she says.

Sue, who is employed as a Senior Project Officer at the NSW Department of Family and Community Services and uses her leased 2015 BMW 218i to travel to various work venues across New South Wales, says having a novated lease removes the budgetary burden of vehicle ownership. “The best thing is worrying less about putting money aside for things like maintenance and registration. I find it much simpler to make a fortnightly payment that covers everything – and part of that payment is pre-tax.”

She adds that the process, from initial enquiry to collecting the keys, was “uncomplicated and stress-free”.

“It was a pleasure dealing with Maxxia. The staff were attentive without being overbearing, and extremely respectful.”
