Hi,
The information in the posts is correct but we are not certain whether price or time is your main driver.
I have bought and sold a vehicle in London (UK) and while the price was ok the time it took to get a reasonable price was not. It is ok if you can to stay longer and your accommodation costs are low otherwise it becomes an asset liquidation.
Some recent experience from when I was in New Zealand - I spent some time with a rider from UK who sought a buy back from several motorcycle dealers in NZ(via email) . He chose a near new bike, told the dealer the distance he thought he would travel and used it for several months. I kept in contact when he went back to UK. The purchase/buy back worked out at just over half the rental cost of a similar bike. No time was spent haggling and he was happy.
A previous time in in NZ I spoke to a number of dealers in Auckland (Takapuna) and got a similar response - ,,"get in touch with us by email, we will tell you the bikes we have, you tell us the mileage you will do + how long you want the bike and we will give you a buy back price. Use our address for your registration and insurance". The consensus was that the cost would be about half the rental cost.
Hope this helps.
