$500 off for Neighbourly Users + THANKS for the support!

Chris Wastney from Cars That Go

Hi all,

This is just a quick message to say hello and thanks! We've appreciated all the support for our business over the past two years as we've grown from my father's home garage to the present - where we have over 50 cars in stock.

We've been directly importing great quality cars from Japan, servicing them, adding a warranty and then putting them on the lot at a fair & reasonable price.

Japanese cars have great build quality & prices have come way down. With shipping being reasonably cheap we should theoretically see cheaper prices across the board in the used car market.

For some reason, Nelson prices have stayed inflated - which is where we step in! This has to change. Sometimes we are up to $1,500 cheaper than our nearest competitor. Not always - but we do price them down as often as we can!

We know it's not all about price BUT who doesn't want a good quality car AND have some money in their back pocket left over?

To that end, if you see this post as a member of Neighbourly, we are offering $500 off your next car purchase through us. This excludes cars that are already on sale.

A HUGE THANKS to all of you who have already supported us over the past two years. It's been a great ride so far and we are looking forward to helping you solve your transport needs.

Cheers,
Chris Wastney

Hi Everyone,
My grandson, Jordie (11), as part of a school project at Hampden Street School, has committed to raising enough money to install an Automated Electronic Defibrillator (AED) at Tahunaui Beach in time for Summer.
He decided on this after doing some research and realising that there wasn't adequate coverage for the tens of thousands of visitors the Beach has over Summer. This initiative will inevitably save lives.
Here is Jordie's Givealittle page:

givealittle.co.nz...

This is a 6 month project and he's in it for the long haul. Every little donation helps so if you can manage a fiver that's awesome. If you can manage more then that's a massive help.

If you need to know anything more then just hit the link above and watch Jordie's video. I hope you'll be inspired as much as I was.

So much written about Lake Rotoiti and so very little written about Lake Rotoroa. We would like to change this.
If you could please get in touch with me. Thank you.
We would like to get in touch with any of the families who are decendants of the settlers of this area. We know some of their names. We know some of the stories but we want to know ALOT more. We know about the history and are proud of the families who survived and tried so hard to make a go of it. We want to celebrate them.

The Poole Family. The Bagust family. The Willetts family. The Gibson Family. The Booth family. The Fittus family.
The old diggers from the area.....Rudy Lublow, Peter Johansen, and so many others.
We want to preserve the history and the stories and talk to people who have them to tell.
Please get in touch....we are hoping in January 2019 to hold a gathering of interested people to gather with our extended family and CELEBRATE our love for this place.
