ThePog Posted January 31 Posted January 31 I have a nephew and his friend arriving for a NZ road trip in a couple of weeks, he is 20ish and has realised the cost of him hiring a car is going to be problematic. Do any of you chaps have something cheap but reliable to sell him? Or loan/rent if you dont mind it ending up in Queenstown? Or be prepared to help find something? Call it 3 to 5k, which I imagine would get something decent. He can drive a manual. Chur. Quote
Willdat? Posted January 31 Posted January 31 https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/toyota/camry/listing/5755477118 Ex-Taxi Hybrid Camry would be my pick, Toyota Aqua would be easier to flick on at the other end though https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/toyota/aqua/listing/5759100198 Quote

V8Pete Posted February 1 Posted February 1 I drove past a car dealer today that had a sign saying they do a 120 day buy back guarantee. It's probably dodgy, but https://carrentalalternative.co.nz/ Quote

It's probably dodgy, but https://carrentalalternative.co.nz/ Don't think the boys are going back to chch unfortunately. I think we have basically settled on the idea of buying something good for our girls to use and then getting it back to Nelson from Qtown. Most likely an Aqua or a Vitz. So if anyone can have a look at a couple that would be appreciated.. Quote
Willdat? Posted February 2 Posted February 2 Relevant I guess, could be quite plausible to spend more on insurance than fuel.
