If you are looking a good quality car on a longish
term basis but want to
keep the costs to a minimum, buying with a guaranteed buyback might be
your best option. I will sell you a
car and, if you want, when you are ready to leave you sell it back to
me at a pre-arranged price.
The only condition to the buyback is that the vehicle is in
approximately the same condition as when I sold it. You
are, however, free to sell it to anyone else if you can
get a better price.
See below for typical cars available right
now.
Vehicle
Preparation
Before a
vehicle is handed over it is given a complete mechanical
check. Any faults found that are critical to the safe and
reliable operation of the vehicle are fixed. It is then
given a complete service - oil change, new oil filter,
new spark plugs, new distributor points, new air filter,
etc. Finally it is tuned and set up to run efficiently
and reliably.
Premium class
vehicles. These
are a higher grade of car and they come with a higher quality
preparation. They are 1997 to 2000 models with less than 90,000km on the
odometer. They are often freshly imported - you will be the first
owner. If it's an automatic, the transmission system will
have been checked and serviced by Bakerfield Automatics. If it's a
diesel the engine will have been
checked and serviced by Morrison Diesels. Both are top-class experts in
their field. It is then given an
independent check by the AA and you will be able to see their report to
reassure yourself that the vehicle is in good mechanical condition.
Backpacker
vehicles.
1994-96 models with higher kms but still in good working order.
They will have been serviced and checked and you will be given a copy of
the checksheet to reassure yourself
that the vehicle is in good mechanical condition.
Economy backpacker
vehicles.
In addition to the above vehicles we
have a limited number of older (late 80s to early 90s)
vehicles.
Showing their age, but mechanically still sound and well
maintained. They have been thoroughly checked and
serviced in our workshop and are ready for the road.
Warranties
Premium vehicles: A 30 day
warranty is given with all vehicles sold. This covers all
mechanical breakdowns with the exception of damage caused
by negligence or misuse of the vehicle.
Backpacker vehicles: A 14 day
warranty is given with all vehicles sold. This covers all
mechanical breakdowns with the exception of damage caused
by negligence or misuse of the vehicle. This warranty also applies to
Economy Backpacker vehicles.
Extended warranty:
If you wish you can then
extend the above warranty for a further two months. If you are a member
of AA or a related overseas motoring organisation the extended
warranty will cost $2 a day. If you are not a member of a motoring
organisation like AA the cost is $3 a day.
On Backpacker vehicles there is
there an excess (deductible)
of $200 - in other words you must pay the first $200 of any
repair. The aim of this extended warranty is to protect you
against major expensive repairs. No excess applies on Premium grade
cars.
Breakdown Cover
If you do not have emergency breakdown cover
- for roadside assistance -
through membership of AA or a similar organisation at home, we can
provide cover for $1 a day.
Insurance
Insurance is not mandatory in this
country - you may drive without it. You may arrange for insurance cover
yourself - but we can arrange insurance cover for you. Cheapest
option is "third party only" which covers damage to
anything you hit. "Third party, fire, and theft" protects
you against damage to any other vehicle, or the theft or burning of your
car. Or you can have comprehensive insurance that protects your
vehicle and anything else you damage.

The excess in each case
is $500. You can also include cover against fire and theft on your
own vehicle for an additional $50. Please contact us for further
details.
Comprehensive
Insurance
In addition to
third-party only you can extend your insurance to cover damage to your
own vehicle. There are two options:
Buyback value: Under this
arrangement you are covered for up to the full amount of the agreed buyback
price where damage is the result of a collision with another vehicle. Single
vehicle crashes have an excess of $1500. Note: You are still liable for
the $500 excess on any third party claim.
Full purchase price value: Under
this arrangement you can claim up to the amount of the original purchase price.
Excess on multi-vehicle crashes $500. Excess on single vehicle crashes
$1500.
Costs are given in $NZ per day. Note:
These costs are in addition to the third party cover described above.

Warrant
of Fitness And Registration
For any
car to be street legal, it must have a Warrant of Fitness
(WOF) - a Government quality-assured safety test. It is
one of the most rigorous safety tests in the world and must be passed every six months. In addition all vehicles
must be registered - i.e. pay the government another
dollop of tax. All my vehicles are delivered with a
recent warrant of fitness and are registered.
The buyback
price
Here's how the pricing
works:
When you purchase a car I
will give you a guaranteed price at which I will buy the vehicle back
from you. Each month you keep the car the repurchase price reduces.
Premium vehicles: At the end of one month I will refund
70% of the purchase price to you. After two months the refund is
62.5% of the purchase price. At three months the refund is 50% of the
purchase price. For days in between full months the
refund price is pro rata per day.
The maximum period covered by the
buyback guarantee is six months. After that we would have to come
to a special arrangement. Enquire for details.
Backpacker vehicles: At the end of one month I will refund
65% of the purchase price to you. After two months the refund is
50% of the purchase price. For days in between full months the
refund price is pro rata per day.
Economy backpacker vehicles:
The buyback price is 50% of the purchase price. Prices
range from $1500 to $3000.
Seasonal rates: On premium vehicles In the off-season (1 May to 31 Aug)
your costs reduce by 35%. That means I either reduce the original
purchase price or increase the refund . . . or a bit of both.
Where the use of the vehicle crosses
the season boundaries you are charged only at the applicable seasonal
daily rate. In other words, I'll give you the best deal
possible depending on the season.
Finance
On Premium
class cars you do not
necessarily have to pay the whole purchase price on collecting the
car. We can arrange for you to buy on a deposit - usually about 60%
of the purchase price. There is a small charge to cover the
interest payment - 2.0% of the outstanding balance per month which
usually works out to somewhere between $60 and $100 a month. If
you subsequently sell the vehicle to another person the balance of the
original purchase price must be paid.
