1114741 2010-06-30 20:52:00 there is also a leak in brake fluid :rolleyes: Nomad (952)
1114742 2010-06-30 20:54:00 Buyers won't if you list it detailing it's faults and sell it accordingly.

It's only when you try to hide things they complain.

given the issues with it then, mind as well take it to the wreckers :D
the thing is if you took it to an average mechanic (not VTNZ), it "should" fail the wof unless substantial work is done outstripping the cost of the vehicle.

1114744 2010-07-01 05:14:00 If your scrapping your old car then couple of things

Cancel the insurance - You will get a refund of the unused portion or you can transfer it to another car and pay or be refunded any differance. Assuming you have a full No Claims then just cancelling it would be the way to go and getting a refund....BUT CHECK WITH THE INSURANCE COMPANY...Do Not take a 3rd party especially on heres advice.

Rego aka Road Licence - If you cancel the registration ie scrap the car then you will be able to claim a refund on the unused portion. I know I have done that on a diesel got my RUCs back as well.

What ever you do do not just hand over the vehicle to a scrappers without changing ownership if you do not cancel! It is quite possible those plates could end up on another vehicle and you could get stung for Speed camera etc fines. Proving you have permantly scrapped a vehicle is a nightmare unless you fill that paper work out.

1114745 2010-07-01 05:39:00 I'd personally list it as a parts only car, list the faults and stick it on trademe with a $1 res AIWI. Might as well make a few bucks out of it. Alex B (15479)
1114746 2010-07-01 22:19:00 1.3L or 1.5L :confused:
Just city driving, Wellington CBD and up the Ngauranga Gorge, 10-15km north of the CBD.

We're having a look at the weekend at Turners.
PS. To be used maybe 2 or 3x per week, which is just inter suburb driving, going thru the Gorge maybe 1x a week perhaps or less.

1114749 2010-07-03 10:56:00 Rather than dump your rusty car, why not do what they do all around the north, and park it on the lawn out in front of the house. Add a few more rusty cars and let the grass grow really tall around them.

We farm the things you know... gather them in herds and let them graze indefinitely.

1114750 2010-07-03 12:35:00 You could always chuck it on my website, FreeCarTrader.co.nz. Least you don't have to pay anything, and then I can have an extra car on there :D matty231 (15855)
