They're left hand drive cars I'm pretty sure.

To pay for financing to get a “credit rating” is the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. But hey, each to their own.

Maybe, but having not had any debt for over a decade creates its own problems in a world that values a credit rating. If I have the excess cash to buy it outright, I could do that. Or, I finance half of it on 2.99% and while doing that, put the cash I then retain in an investment that with a higher return = credit rating being built while not costing me anything extra.

javataco can't have heard many stupid things, and also clearly has no idea about how credit scoring works... this is a sensible idea.

Stupid question perhaps, how do you guys see specific months rather than "6-9 months" etc?

Some people can see it in the app or website under your profile. My app doesn't show any date range, but I know it was 6-9 months when I placed my order.

This isn’t America. Lenders look at income and expenses/debts, how well you can service a loan.

Yes correct that this isn’t America, but Australian lenders most certainly look at your credit rating, credit history and serviceability. What are you implying, by referring to America?

I’m implying you don’t need to ‘build a credit score” here like in America, and the act of paying a fee to do it is insane.

If you don't have a credit history in Australia you are an unknown risk profile to lenders. Therefore banks will either not lend to you or will charge an interest rate higher than advertised. A secured loan like a car is a lower interest option to build this rating. So 'insane' is probably a bit mean.

In the context of Australia, this is true, but I think a car loan at 4% doesn't seem like an optimal choice. There are other leas costlier ways to build credit history.

Sure. Unless you want a Tesla anyway i guess.

Morning all, anyone order around the 23/4 trying to figure out if my order was in the 6 to 9 month or 9 to 12 month period, as mentioned previously I don’t see an EDD. Thanks

I ordered 21/4 and in the 6-9 month bucket.
