- CHOOSE A CAR – This is one of the most important decisions to make. The car needs to fit your lifestyle and also be a vehicle that will hold its value to maximise its sale value at the end of the lease term. Each lease has a residual value, which is deemed to be the value of the vehicle at the end of the lease term. The ATO set stringent guidelines on residual values and sets these as percentages based on the lease term. For example if your lease is over 5 years your residual value must be between 25 to 35% of the vehicle cost at purchase. If you choose a vehicle that holds its value any money you receive over the residual value is your to keep, tax free. After choosing the vehicle getting the best price is just as important.
