Helen Humphries was well into her 90’s and had been a member of WACS for around 16 years. She was very independent, very sharp and rattled off the cryptic crossword every morning.

The problem is she has a job in Karori,and drives to work .... bit awkward not actually having a car 😬
So .... shes looking for a "new" set of wheels to make life so much easier for her.
Open minded re makes etc, but has a budget of around $2000 ... and needs to be an automatic 🙄
Her dad is a mechanic so will be able to run a ready eye 👁 over it for her
Thank you in anticipation 🙏
