Driving the Kaimai and the Bay
The Kaimai Range road is steep, winding and often wet or foggy, with heavy trucks. A car with good tyres, good brakes and enough power for the hills makes that drive safer and more relaxed.
Around Tauranga and the Mount, the coast and boat ramps mean towing and salt air. Check underneath for rust on any car that's lived near the sea.
Buying without making the trip
Every listing shows a detailed condition report and the full CIN, so you can shortlist from home. We ship anywhere in New Zealand, so if you can't get to Hamilton, ask us about shipping.
