New Bf pursuit ?

snappy · 21-09-2009, 08:26 PM

Hew guys ,Im looking at taking advantage of the the tax scheme for commercials vechicles . What im unshore of do these commercials need to be 09 built vechicles . An if possible could i still buy a bf super pursuit or pursuit that is still considerded brand new .

09 is FG obviously, so you would be damn lucky to find a BF that has not had private rego now. Therefore next to no chance of finding one that could be considered brand new.

Do ex demo cars qualify as new for tax purposes?

Nah.. To get the 50% investment allowance the car must be new, or an undriven demo, that is one sitting in the yard with minimal kms. If the dealership has registered teh car and depreciated it themselves then you can't claim the 50% investment allowance.

The last of the BFII unregistered pursuits went about May this year, Bryan Byrt Ford had the last of them..

Get yourself a GS ute...

Maybe your right , i do like the interior and i have heard the drive well . But spending the best part of 60k on somthing i personally dont like the look of is just not a option. An it been almost 12 months plenty of time to grow on me and it just has not happend

Hey snappy

i bought a 09 caprice and 09 FG XR8, with this tax benefit in mind, demo's can be claimed on still, we're about to get all our reports back from our accountant next week, so i'll only then find out how much we really saved, although once all worked out, it's not as huge as some of the ads make it out to be, or thats my understanding anyway

Yes, dealership demos are eligible, but only if they've been used for up to 3 months (so a BF would be too old) and a few other conditions. Its all on the ATO site

Not good , so basically it would have to be unregisterd and there be slim to no chance of that .

Is the 50% really that important. It is a tax deduction not a discount and all it means is that you bring it forward.

I suspect a BF2 Pursuit or SP with the standard GST refund and depreciation will cost you less actual money than a FG Pursuit or SP with the 50%

yes it the deduction im after , i cant depicate my ba 2 ute anymore thats why ive been spending dollars on the tray . But with a bf 2 i could put my tray on it carry my mods over , and depriciate it the ute by 50% it would be a winner for me .
Yeah boys the fg's are great but not everyone's cup of tea . I probly would do it if the coyote was under the hood but by that time the tax deal will be done and dusted.

Do the rounds, as in let your fingers do the walking.

Ring every FPV/Ford dealer in Australia and ask, I know there is a brand new BF2 F6 sedan here in Hervey Vegas so you never know what is lurking at the smaller bush dealerships.

That was my thinking too. Perhaps there are people out there that believe they're getting $25k back on a $50k purchase.

I know a few guys I work with that went from company car to privately owned vehicle were shocked when their depreciation and running costs was a deduction and not a credit. They were expecting their running costs back in full instead of being claimed only as a tax deduction.

Its too old to get the 50% on it, and its only a Pursuit, not a super..

Plus the colour lets it down!
