Beaver Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Have been tasked with finding a car for brother/sister in law. Have found one that ticks the boxes in New Plymouth and was hoping someone could go have a quick gander before I make the trek. Don't need to be a mechanic, just a general once over to make sure it is what it says it is and nothing that jumps out. It appears to have full service history etc. so shouldn't be a lemon. If you're happy to take it for a drive and press all the buttons that would be grand. No pressure, but wink wink nudge nudge @fletch @Bistro @anglia4 I promise I won't blame you if it turns out to be a POS later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea what area its in? Located in Hurworth. Historically famous for its cheeses before most of the village buildings were destroyed in the First Taranaki War of 1860 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePog Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Thread Hijack! My mother is looking for a Toyota Aqua and there is a likely candidate in NP. https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/toyota/aqua/listing/3325118924?bof=aSUtADha She is in Hawera but knows nothing about cars. It looks pretty good so its more to see if there are any glaring issues or if the seller is dodgy. I am sure @anglia4 owes me a gobby for something. It is right by the central NP countdown apparently. Churs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
