GUMTREE vs NZRELO & CRICKS

Alright Kiwis, when you first land in Australia and start looking for a car, there are plenty of options to choose from—especially when it comes to online marketplaces like Gumtree.  

It’s tempting, right? Cars for sale everywhere, often at bargain prices. But before you jump on a deal that seems too good to be true, let’s dive into the pros and cons of buying from Gumtree versus going with NZRelo, in partnership with Cricks Highway.  

Gumtree: The Tempting Marketplace      

Gumtree is one of Australia’s most popular online classifieds platforms, and it’s full of private sellers eager to shift their second-hand cars. It’s like the Wild West out there—there’s a ton of choice, and if you’re willing to do a little legwork, you might get a bargain. But there’s a reason it’s called the Wild West… 

Pros of Buying from Gumtree:

Variety of Listings: From old bangers to near-new cars, you’ll find something for almost every budget. 

Potential Bargains: Because you’re dealing directly with private sellers, there’s room for negotiating the price.  

Instant Access: No need to wait for dealership hours—browse listings, message sellers, and even arrange viewings whenever you like.

Cons of Buying from Gumtree:

No Warranty: Private sellers aren’t offering warranties, so you’re on your own if the car breaks down a week after you buy it.  

No Guarantee of Condition: While some sellers are honest, there’s no way of knowing if the car’s been in an accident or if it’s been poorly maintained unless you get a full inspection.  

Scams and Dodgy Deals: The anonymity of private sales means there’s a risk of scammers trying to offload damaged cars, stolen vehicles, or just outright fakes.  

Time Consuming: You’ll need to arrange your own inspections, verify the car’s history, and make sure all the paperwork’s in order. If something goes wrong, it’s a lot harder to resolve.
