Hi there,
I am thinking of buying Mitsubishi i-car on Trademe. I will get pre-purchase inspection done from AA before buying the car.
As you may know that it is a small car with only 658cc engine. So, if everything turns out to be okay with the car, what would be your advise on driving down that car from Auckland to Palmerston North in a day?
Your response will be appreciated.
Kind regards

Hi there,
It is a big drive for such a small car, it can be carried out in a day. It might be good to have a window of two days for "just in cases" as you may not know 100% what the vehicle is capable of. Maybe take a break early in the trip and double check everything looks ok with the car before carrying on. Make sure it has a new wof, recent service, and the tyre pressures have been checked.
