Who we are
Steeped in a narrative that began back 2018, we proudly trace our roots as a rental car company that evolved seamlessly into a unique car sales yard.
Born from the ethos of selling used stock with charm and spirit, we defy the norms of standard car dealerships. At Affordable Cars, our story is a testament to transformation, and our journey reflects a commitment to redefining the automotive experience.
Meet the Team
Cade
Having spent the last 5 years working in car sales & finance, Cade’s wealth of knowledge and resources has truely put him in a position to best help his customers. His start to the industry begun with purely sales and Cade has been with Affordable Car Sales for over 5 years now, providing the ins and outs with car sales, importing and finance.
Along with running the finance department, Cade has spent the last year going on buying trips to Japan buying quality cars to send back over to New Zealand. Cade has since mastered the inspection process & the expected standard of vehicles to ensure all cars on the yard meet the highest of standards.
Away from the office, you’ll find Cade spending time with him and his partner’s Golden Retriever, Maple (who makes an appearance at the yard often)! Cade also enjoys motorsport where he races Grass Karts and a Mazda RX8.
