BUYBACK PRICE FOR UP TO 6 MONTHS IS 40% OF SALE I.E. $2500 = $1000 BUYBACK …."NO FUSS AND AVAILABLE SAME DAY IN CASH"

Even if you travel longer than 6 months or buy a car without a "written buyback" we will still make you a very sensible "CASH OFFER" or ask for a written "LONG-TERM" Buyback Agreement ...We are very flexible and here to H.E.L.P.

THE FINE PRINT :
Any damage or wear to car which renders it unroadworthy must be repaired or deducted from buyback price. This includes Windscreen, Tyres and Lights etc. Any dents, scratches or damage to bodywork will be assessed by us taking into consideration its resale value .We hold the right to deduct payment for anything we deam to be serious damage. Any deterioration of pre-existing rust is not considered damage and won't be deducted.

We feel the conditions we impose are as much to your advantage as ours being based mainly on safety and reliability, and after all you may very well have bought a car that has come back into our stock as a buyback and would like to rest easy knowing it has been maintained by its former owner. Add to this the fact you may choose to sell your car privately to fellow travellers who will be well impressed with your service records and the fantastic way you have kept up all the maintenance required and you will be definately laughing all the way home !!!
Your buyback is also transferable so should you decide to drive to Cairns or Darwin and sell your car on their, the next owner only has to notify us of the transfer of buyback and we will be happy to take it back providing they follow the same conditions of buyback as specified.

And remember you are free to sell the car to anyone you like and are by no means contracted to sell back to us. We maintain that the Buyback Price is only there as a safety net should you have trouble selling on, or would like to utilize your car right up to the last day of your stay here. Most of our customers have no problems selling on for just as much, or very close to what they paid in the start !!!

This is definately your answer to trouble free touring and has to make our cars even better value for money and the only conditions are you change oil every 5,000 km's or 3 months, as required by our buyback policy. The Warranty Company has a network of Mechanics Australia-wide (within a 50 km radius in most parts) who will take care of the entire process for you and not charge you at all *. They send the invoice directly to the warranty company for payment.......

So what happens if we experience any problems with our new car??

GOOD QUESTION ...... At Travellers Mate we "stand behind" all our cars we sell and have a 5 day trial offer * after you buy. We always advise you to take a day/weekend trip to the Blue Mountains or Royal National Park as a "test drive" for you and your car before setting out on any long distance or interstate travels .If you should experience any problems at all that we may have missed or that occur we will (A) gladly rectify to your satisfaction. Further to this if you are still unhappy we will (B) find you an alternate car or (C) refund your money in full providing the damage or problem caused wasn't through abuse or neglect on your part. At the same time you should remember you are buying an "old car" and should not expect it to be totally perfect. Our policy is that if the problem is "life threatening or trip ending " we will go out of our way to fix it. This we feel gives you great peace of mind no matter what budget you are on and is really an unbeatable offer when compared with buying privately or from notice boards. We are totally dependant on word of mouth referrals from happy customers to keep us in business and would never sacrifice our good name over bad service or not standing behind our product .......IT'S JUST NOT HOW WE DO BUSINESS !!!! *Cars over $2000 * Conditions apply

We can also help organise.....

* N.R.M.A. ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE (Australia-wide breakdown service, free maps of Australia & H.E.L.P. when you need it)

* Help you with all the paper work involved in the purchase of your car.

* Arrange Third Party Property Damage Insurance (this is NON COMPULSORY and any car that is registered is automatically covered for third party personal injury insurance)

* Help to find you accommodation and the beginning or end of your trip to Australia.

* Just about anything to get you 'on the road - stress free' and on a budget to suit you!!

Cheers & Good Luck - Murray & Dianne Temple.
