22.01.2022 Have you seen the recent car adverts promoting Guaranteed Future Value? It seems like a good idea, so what does it all mean? What should you be aware of? Simply put, this tactic attempts to leverage your fear that your new car will fall drastically in value, especially when your finance contract has a balloon payment (i.e. a large final repayment at the end of the finance contract). It also puts the dealership in a position to ‘control the second market’ by forcing you to co...me back to them for your next purchase, effectively giving you less choice and often under the guise of ‘supporting their brand’. If you are considering this type of guarantee, take time to review all your options and consider the following important points when making your decision: You may have less choice next time you want to trade this car as you must return to the same dealer. If you elect to go to another dealership, and your balloon payment is above the ‘real market value’, you may have a negative equity position and may need additional finance to assist paying the remaining debt. Dealers may seek to recover any shortfall in the ‘real value’ of the car by charging full retail price on your next purchase, accessories, finance etc. This means you may have fewer opportunities to negotiate on price as the money must come from somewhere! Generally all maintenance must be completed by the dealership’s workshop as a condition of the offer, often at a higher cost than competitors. There will be ‘return conditions’ on the contract capping kilometres travelled and allowing for only ‘fair wear and tear’ on the vehicle. Failure to comply will void the offer or may require you to pay a ‘make up payment’. There may be a ‘sunset clause’ - a date the guarantee offer must be taken up by or it will lapse. This may encourage you to consider upgrading your vehicle earlier than you would like to. Independent resources such as Red Book (www.redbook.com.au) can be used to see how specific car models depreciate over time and help ensure balloon values on finance contracts are realistic without locking into arrangements that may not suit you in the future. An experienced finance broker is well placed to assist you and will have access to a variety of finance options and structures that can be tailored to best suit your needs. So if you are considering upgrading or purchasing a car, contact us today!

02.01.2022 For many of us, COVID-19 has meant that parts of our lives have been put on pause. As restrictions are lifted, we face more changes to our daily routines and an opening back up of our worlds. There will be some who are champing at the bit, ready to spring back into more physical connections and broadening their environments. At the other end of the spectrum, there'll be people who are quite comfortable and safe in the four walls of their home and content with their grocery ...shop as their only outing. Then there are those who are somewhere in the middle. There is no right or wrong in our responses. We all have our own personal circumstances, which includes our own unique vulnerabilities, strengths and just ways of being in the world. We should not necessarily expect that we all have the same skills and abilities to cope with the mental load of COVID-19. We will all need different things and will find some aspects harder than others. This is all perfectly normal and understandable. Mental health clinicians frequently talk about the benefits of going slowly. What we mean by this is: slow yourself down enough so you are tuned in to how you are feeling. When we know how we feel, then we can also think about what we need to manage those feelings and to ultimately cope with more change. With my own recent return to work, I was reminded of these things. I expected to be jumping for joy and race out the door. However, come time to leave the house and break my current comfortable routine, my brain decided to try and rescue me from this by asking: Is this the right time?. I then reminded myself of some handy tips: 1. When things feel uncomfortable (change) it’s normal for our brains to find a reason to avoid them, thus eliminating the initial discomfort. 2. Remind your brain of the facts, such as helpful public health messages. 3. Discomfort is normal, but it doesn’t mean the action that I am taking is wrong. So, before you press play again, remind yourself of the things above. Remember kindness to yourself and others is the key. - Contributed by Caroline Thain, Occupational Therapist, headspace Launceston Source: https://www.stlukes.com.au//Before-you-press-play-again.as
