Longest-owned FTO

Post by Supplanter »

I am just curious to know who has had their car the longest.

Only had mine for a year, less a month and a half for panel repairs :roll:

The base RX8 model is more then $57k on the road, but if you can get your company to do salary sacrifice instead of leasing, then you can pick up the RX8 at pre-tax dollar. So even the top of the range would be well within your budget.

If its leasing, don't max out the budget, cause theres FBT, & u might have to pay for it at the end of the finacial yr.
