Free Car in NZ

I own a car in a foreign country. Mitsubishi Magna about 1994 vintage. A lovely car, goes well. We bought it for our daughter when she was staying in Pukehina, which is where it is now, being used occasionally by relatives, who are moving away soon. We drove it to and from Auckland and down to Napier and back, and it didn't miss a beat.

Is anybody interested in taking it off our hands? No charge, or for whatever it costs to transfer it.

What an amazingly kind offer! My m-i-l lives in Pukehina and could be interested - I'll get P to send her a txt and ask :)

Hmmmmm, manual or automatic? :o)

Automatic. It's currently in use now and for a few weeks more, but I doubt very much that the rels will want to ship it down to Riverton near Invercargill where they are moving to.

*jumps up and down*

I think I'm interested! (I'm learning on a manual, but have heard automatic is easier). And even though I'm only on a learners I'm still planning on getting a car when I get a job...

Dammit and the steering wheel is on the correct side and all. But I think shipping it to Ireland is a little prohibitive. Think we'll keep looking at 1 litre volkwagen polos for her

How cute! Your daughter looks so much like you.


Wahhhhh! I need a younger car.....the shipping would probably exceed what I am saving up to spend on a frugal upgrade.

Bless you for donating it to someone though.
