I need to buy a car around $5000 - $6000

Helena from Morningside

I am probably opening a hornets nest here but I am looking for a great deal on a car. Some muppet ran into my Toyota Bb last Friday and the insurance company has written it off.

Some muppet ran into my Toyota Bb last Friday and the insurance company has written it off. Unfortunately it was very under-insured so I am not getting much for it and this has left me with not a lot to buy a new car. (I do a lot of charity work so dont earn much either)
I am thinking a Toyota Prius or similar.
DONT message me with your sedan... I need a hatchback or wagon that is big enough to fit two very large boxes and a dog into it every month for my work trips up north, and for my trips to prisons where I do laser tattoo removal. It also needs to be economical to run.
Also DONT message me if your car has done 200,000+KM I dont plan to buy someone else's problems. If you have a great car that you are wanting to sell then please message me on helena@tattooremovalauckland.com

Fireworks are a ton of fun but carry real risks that need to be taken seriously. If you plan on lighting some here's some tips to keep everyone in your community safe and happy.

❌ 1. Never light fireworks in dry or windy conditions.

🔥 2. Only use fireworks in wide open areas, away from flammable items such as trees, grasses, gas tanks, and wood.

💦 3. Keep a bucket of water or hose nearby.

👧 4. Children should never light fireworks themselves and need to be supervised closely at all times.

🧰 5. Keep all unlit fireworks in a secure bag or container away from any source of fire until they are ready to be used.

📞 6. Be considerate and let neighbours know if you're planning to set off fireworks. Aim to finish at a reasonable time.

🐱 7. Keep pets comfortable and secure inside. The loud booms and flashing lights can easily scare them off.

🐮 8. Avoid lighting off fireworks around farm animals and be aware of any newborns or elderly neighbours who may also be affected. If possible, change locations to somewhere that minimises any disturbances.

🌿 9. Be a tidy Kiwi and let's work together to keep New Zealand beautiful! Clean up any any rubbish and leave your spot better than you found it.
