Before you buy a second hand vehicle, text us to check if money could be owing on the vehicle.  There are three basic steps to completing a TXTB4UBUY search.  First you send us an SMS text.  Next you will receive a reply containing information that you then use to complete your search online.

It costs NZ$1 per submitted search (the fee is charged to your mobile phone).
