I need to buy a car around $5000 - $6000
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. 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
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.5% ... It is complicated
