Making it easier to buy and sell

Driven continues to develop its companion website Driven.co.nz, where 37,000 vehicles are listed for sale.

And now it is even easier to buy or sell a vehicle on the site with the introduction of three unique new tools.

The Cost to Run, Car Value Calculator, and Best Time to Sell tools are operating live on Driven.co.nz, better equipping buyers and sellers to do the deal.

The Cost to Run tool helps you to understand the total cost of ownership of a vehicle, and makes it clear that spending more on a car upfront can save money in the longer run.

The information also helps buyers to compare vehicles before they decide what to buy.

The Car Value Calculator gives a high, medium and low estimate of vehicles sold at retail, helping give consumers a more accurate idea of how much their vehicle is worth.

The Best Time to Sell tool gives potential sellers a good idea of how the value of their vehicle is changing over time.

Meanwhile one brand dominates this week’s issue of Driven this week.

It is something of a MercedesBenz fest, with the end-of-the-year launch of the GLE SUV and the B-Class compact tourer, not to mention the pristine 280 SL featured in Me & My Car on p12.

And watch out for the AA Driven New Zealand Car of the Year 2018 award winner to be announced on Wednesday night, along with the People’s Choice Award. Almost 54,000 people have cast their vote on which of the 10 finalists they think should win the award.

All of which is even more reason to keep a regular eye on Driven.co.nz.
