Tucked along SH35 on the East Coast, Torere doesn't have a dealership on the corner. We bring the quote, the truck, and the cash to you instead.
No need to arrange a trip into Opotiki first our truck comes along SH35 to you.
Salt-air rust doesn't catch us off guard or quietly tank the offer once our driver arrives.
We're happy to coordinate with whoever in the family is arranging the sale, including shared properties.
Torere sits on the East Coast Road between Opotiki and Te Kaha, close to Torere Marae and right on the water. It's a small, close community, and like a lot of the coast along SH35, the nearest car dealership or wrecking yard is a genuine drive away in Opotiki or Whakatane. For a lot of whānau, that turns selling an old car into a bigger job than it should be hence most people out this way either keep a car parked up far longer than they'd like, or end up towing it a long way at their own cost.
Salt air off the coast is also genuinely hard on vehicles here. We regularly see rust around wheel arches, sills, and exhaust systems well ahead of what the same model would show further inland, especially on older fishing utes and family cars that spend their life a stone's throw from the water.
We come to Torere directly rather than asking you to bring the car anywhere. If access is through a shared driveway near the marae or a family property, just let us know who to ask for and we'll call ahead before arriving.
We also keep an eye on SH35 for slips or road works, since the coast road can close without much warning after heavy rain. If that affects your pickup day, we'll simply reschedule at no cost to you.
