If you are looking for a good quality car or van in
New Zealand but want to
keep costs to a minimum, buying with a guaranteed buyback might be
the best bet. I will sell
you a vehicle 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 we sold it. You
are, however, free to sell it to anyone else if you can
get a better price.
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.
Warranties
A 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.
Insurance
Insurance is not mandatory in this
country - you may drive without it. You may arrange for insurance cover
yourself - but I 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
vehicle. Or you can have comprehensive insurance that protects your
vehicle and anything else you damage.

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 that
must be passed every six months. In addition all vehicles
must be registered - i.e. pay the government another
dollop of tax. All our vehicles are delivered with a
recent warrant of fitness and are registered.
Distance
Limitations
Buybacks have a free km allowance of 6000km for the first
month, plus 70km per day for the second month, plus 50km per day
from then on - more than enough for 99% of travellers. Most visitors
will do 4500 to 6500km in two months. If you do manage to exceed the
distance allowance we reserve the right to reduce the buy-back price by
20c per extra km.
