Changing jobs - awkward timing...
Edit: I've since found out that the new employer also primarily uses SG Fleet, and are also willing to work with any provider, so that puts my mind at ease that it'll likely all be a non-issue.
In a bit of a predicament...
I was originally told to expect my new EV at the end of April, however due to some issue that didn't eventuate and I was then advised 31 Aug as the estimated delivery date. I made some modifications to the lease (removed dealer applied ceramic coat), and at some point during this process it seems like things have fallen over a bit on the SG Fleet side (can no longer see the car order on the online portal - and no response from the delivery coordinator.
Based on that information, I applied for another job - believing there would be enough time to sort novated lease for the new employer, or cancel the order if it was too difficult to arrange. As such, I recently took a screening call which went well, so I'm expecting to go through to an interview - to be confirmed early next week.
However... surprise, the car is apparently ready next week - with finance to be settled on Wed!
If it takes a couple more weeks for the interviews to go through, and I get the job and give my 6 weeks notice... what are my options? How can I best hedge against not getting the new job, while also weighing what it means if I do get the offer and want to accept it... while keeping the car, or ending up without it?
Discuss with dealer a delay to the Estimated Delivery Date on the order form (31 Aug), just cancel the order and re-attack once I have all the information? If I accept delivery of the car on novated lease with my current employer - have it for 2 months and then change jobs, what are my options in that situation? Roll it to regular finance, could it go back onto a novated lease in future?
Tough decision if this is enough to forget about the new job opportunity altogether, or forget about the car... go through the interviews and then potentially turn down the role?
