| 1114731 | 2010-06-30 05:36:00 | The folks had this car since I learnt to drive in 1995, it's a 1992 model . The WOF and rego just got renewed but last weekend we took to our mechanic for an assessment . The water pump needs repairing but given the value of the vehicle it was not worth it . So . . 1) They don't want to deal with a private sale (or Trademe) so how do they dispose it? They thought about the wreckers or Turners if they try their luck b/c they have a $50 enrolment fee and $250 for commission (a sum of $300) . They don't want to be home and liase with maybe widging buyers . They only know the basics of automobile, know how to jump start, change oil and filter . Shut up, test it out and buy it if you want, is their view :D 2) Dad has his car, so this other car they don't use it for long distance travelling . 1 . 3L vs 1 . 5L then :confused: It is a Mazda 323 Familia auto 1 . 3L the only issue is that up the Ngauranga Gorge can be a bit hard unless you crank it up at the bottom . 3) Is the rego and insurance transferable to another car? For the insurance if need be they would pay a top up . Cheers . . . |

Depending on your insurance company, if you sell the car or otherwise dispose of the car, you should get credited / refunded for un-used portion of insurance. I beleive that personal rego plates are transferrible between vehicles but standard plates may not be / probably are not. TradeMe is a option but then people know where you live if 2 weeks later they find *fault* and want to get a refund or something. We have just off loaded our station wagon, high mileage, low value to a needy family at Kindy. |

The insurance, you ring them and cancel it on that one and add the new car . They adjust your premium . 1) Pathetic . Maybe they could just give it to you then and you sell it on Trademe . A waterpump is nothing anyway . And 1992, hell I just bought one thats 1992 . Gave the 1989 one to my son - also which has bugger all wrong with it . Some people have more money than . |

| 1114735 | 2010-06-30 07:04:00 | If you want to dump it, just take it to a wreckers. It won't cost you anything, and in some cases they'll pay you (e.g. pickapart.co.nz). | somebody (208) | ||
| 1114736 | 2010-06-30 08:14:00 | And if you do dump it, the balance of the registration is refundable if you are taking a car off the road. | ryanjames.powell (13554) | ||
| 1114737 | 2010-06-30 12:03:00 | There is also rust in the boot hinge behind the rear seat belt chassis. We spent over a grand on panelbeating cos the guy give us a incorrect quote, could of been two grands worth, car was a week away. The whole rear windscreen had to be taken out, which was the 2nd panelbeating job done at the same spot..... Inside the boot and the rear passengers seat also gets wet after a heavy rain. So when you get a sunshine day you get the gym "sweat" smell in the car. |

We don't wanna be bothered when buyers agree to pay and then come back afterwards unhappy when work has to be done on it. But seriously you can take quite a new car to VTNZ for WOF - it v well could fail. Depends where you take any good car to even. But then again this car you need to know where to take it in to get a pass. Water pump ok .. but it is the chassis rust. Mechanic said it might be worth $500, hence they are unsure if selling thru Turners given the high cost or just to the wreckers. Assuming one gets $100-150 ... |
