If your coming through Palmy then have a look at Memorial park. heaps and heaps of cheap deals! bought a few commies from there. my personal favourite so far was a dirty old vn commie calais for $600 with wof and rego! If you know napier rd in palmy just keep going until you see the big line of cars

There's a park and sell on wairau road on north shore. Heaps of cars but i wouldn't touch any of the cars that the guy running it is selling. He seems to buy pieces of shit and trys to flog em off as good and just the usual etc etc.

Good luck with your hunting.

Staying not far from there ... went had a look .

Ill be back to look there to look again on my next trip.

Car markets was a big thumbs up .. although I didnt buy anything .. Looks a good place for me to come in the future ..
seemed to have a few dodgy Traders in there probs buying from turners and onselling ...
unfortunatly I cant check out turners This trip .
My conclusion is
cars here seem to take longer to sell , guessing as there is much more selection and Its hard to get around with distance and traffic , so not as many ppl rushing to Look .
a Good deal comes up in wellington ... BAM !! its gone .
cars seem to be generaly slightly Lower k's here and better price more selection , But then finding the right vehicle right price , good body work and mechanicals ,accounting for advertising , transporting , the trip up here ect will always be tricky.
But wellington Market is limited , so its been a good learning trip for me .. only picked up one vehicle so far .




If I come up here On trips Its looking like
$350 To have a vehicle tranported to Wellington and that is door to door .
Doesnt sound too much ,If 2 or 3 are bought it adds up ,
anyone have any suggestions on another way to transport .


thanks for the help

Get to know a company that moves machinery and stuff like that up to auckland and goes back to welly empty. Bound to be a few companies that do it. Or could try train?

Yeh, I know a chap from done your way, John Key is his name, he is always looking for a way to raise some coin, last I heard he was offering very cheap rates as deck cargo on his submarine, "HMS Sinking Ship". Give him a call, he needing more coin for his next Copenhagen trip!
