Real Kiwi Reviews

Sold my old Corolla the same day. The driver was on time and the payout was exactly what they quoted. Too easy.
Aroha
Te Awamutu
Had a dead Hilux sitting on the farm for years. They came out the same arvo, paid fair money and towed it away. Chur

Called in the morning, car was gone by lunchtime. Good price, friendly team, no hassle at all.
Leilani

I didn’t think my van was worth anything after the engine blew. These guys still paid cash and sorted the paperwork.
