Why we deliver our cars nationwide

At Affordable Car Sales, we believe your next car shouldn’t be limited by your postcode. Whether you’re in Auckland, Queenstown, Wellington, or anywhere in between, we make it possible to buy your car online with confidence – and have it delivered right to your door.
Why do we deliver our cars nationwide?
You’re not just a number.
Many of our customers are outside Christchurch. Maybe you spotted your dream car on Trade Me, our website or our Facebook page, but you’re too far to visit. We don’t think distance should stop you. Our team offer a full walk-around video of ANY vehicle you have an interest in. These videos are in-depth, and can focus on any part of the car (any cosmetic blemishes, a zoom in on the engine running, or a full close up on interior condition.
Our stock is unique.
We handpick every car we import from Japan, and every car we source locally. That means you might not find the same quality or model in your town. Whether it’s a low-KM hybrid, an affordable EV, or a tidy hatchback that would be perfect for your daughter’s first car- our cars are worth the look.
We make it easy.
From the finance application process to the final paperwork completed – this can all be completed online and over the phone. We’ve built a process that gives you peace of mind, no matter where you live.

Real feedback from our recent out-of-town buyers
“I bought a Honda car from Affordable Car Sales through online communication 1 month ago. At that time, I was worried that my English was not good enough and I would not understand the car collection process. Paul completed all the formalities and processes very efficiently with his enthusiastic service and familiarity with the business! Now I drive this Honda car around the South Island and drive it back to Hamilton smoothly. I have driven a total of 4,000 kilometers, and the car has no problems at all. It is so reliable! This Affordable Car Sales is really trustworthy. Paul is the best. The service is really amazing. I have to give a big thumbs up!” – Wei L, Google Review
“Paul was brilliant to deal with. We live in Auckland and the vehicle we purchased was in Christchurch. He went out of his way to send extensive you tube clips of the vehicle, was very effective at communicating and follow up was flawless, needless to say the car arrived in mint condition. Would happily deal with the team again.” – Ash B, Google Review
“Cade at Affordable cars was great. I live in Nelson and noticed that they had a VW GTI I was interested in. he got it off for a pre inspection, helped me get to CHCH and even picked me up from the airport, these guys are great” – Tyler F, Google Review
