In case you didn't see it, there is a tracking spreadsheet you could add it to
Enter your details:
Spreadsheet:
Put an application in with the yesterday to get pre approval. They said if it's longer than 90 days which it probably it is they can extend the pre approval longer

Wow, thats decent. Definitely much better than the quote I got from Macquarie which was 6.19%, $990 establishment fee and a $950 early cancellation fee.
I might have to give them a call tomorrow!!
When I reapplied with Plenti a month or so ago they were 5.99% with no fees whatsoever: application, monthly or early payout.
I’m starting to come to the conclusion that “a watched pot never boils”. How about we all stop hitting refresh, and the Tesla machine will start assigning EDD’s?

Mine went from 4.99 to 6.49 currently with plenti.. interest rate now held for only 45d and there is a “credit assistance fee” of $299 built into the monthly repayments
Capricornus Leader currently docked at Shanghai is an interesting one. Has Port Kembla as it's arrival 1/11/22, fingers crossed!
We can only hope, mine still says 6-9 months tooOkay. You go first
For those financing their car, some options that may be open to you (obviously might not, and I'm not a financial advisor):
1. Increase your home loan. With property prices still high, I was able to increase my home loan by $70k (enough to pay for the car and associated costs) at currently 4.29%. No fees (at least for me), no early break charges if I pay it down quickly, and hopefully the interest rate will keep ahead of the non-home loan rates (apparently home loan interest rates tend to be 2-3% less than secured car loan rates).
2.Go back in time to February and tell your former self to put $2,000 a month into a savings account. By now you'll have $18,000 less to finance. By the time we have cars, you won't need a loan

the FBT exemption may pass next week. Although, I have done Option 2 and my 3.99% finance doesn't end til 22nd November.
Not to hopeful of seeing too many VINs this weekend. Looking at Wu Wa's latest video, most of the vehicles are RHD, that I could spot. Another giveaway is that the cars are predominantly black. Hope I'm wrong. Apologies, I meant LHD not RHD

The last few VIN releases (as noted in this thread) have happened at least a week after the cars were built, while they're already at sea.
So the latest videos of the port are no longer a good indication of incoming VIN storms.
