Spider-Man: Home Rebuilt, Chapter 33: Guy In The Chair

The call turned out to be a session in and of itself. It wasn’t anything major. It was an introductory session of sorts. But, still, I felt like I was already feeling progress. It wasn’t a lot of progress per se. I guess it was like… a baby learning to stand up.

“Well, let’s start with a bit of an introduction,” Jericho began over the phone. “I know some therapists tend to charge for the intake session, but I tend to give those free of charge for people in a certain line of work.” I had a feeling that the line of work in question was being a costumed hero. “With that said, allow me to introduce myself formally. As you already know, I’m Jericho Drumm. I live New Orleans, Louisiana, but I’m originally from Haiti – Port-au-Prince, to be exact. I still go there pretty regularly. Anyway, I have a bachelor’s degree from Xavier University of Louisiana and a master’s degree and doctorate from Tulane University – all in Psychology. I’m certified by the Louisiana State Board of Examiners of Psychologists. I’ve been in this field for about 13 years now – and yes, that includes the Blip Years. As you can probably guess, business was, for unfortunate reasons, very plentiful.”

I raised my eyebrows briefly. “Yeah,” I commented.

“How about yourself?”

“Well… as you know, I’m Peter Parker. I’m… currently working on my GED. Scott Summers is actually my teacher. I do plan on going to college. MIT is my goal. I’m currently living in Manhattan, but I was born in and spent most of my life in Queens, so I consider that my home borough. Beyond that… I’m a freelance photographer for The Daily Bugle… which is ironic since I’m in a certain line of work, where I work with Scott.” I chuckled. “But, yeah, I think that’s about all I can say for now.”

Jericho made a noncommittal sound. “Okay. And why are you seeking therapy?”

“My girlfriend thinks I need professional help and I agree. I’m… I went through a lot these last few years – especially during the last several months. So… yeah.”

“I see. Have you ever been in therapy before?”

“No.”

“And what are you looking for? What do you expect?”

I was given a bit of pause for a moment. I then sighed. “…I don’t know about expectations. What I do hope for is that… maybe I can get to a point where I don’t feel like everything good in my life isn’t going always to slip away or be taken away from me. …Am I making sense?”

“You are,” Jericho said reassuringly. “Since I think we hit the point where we can’t talk much more without revealing certain details, allow me to tell you how things are going to go. Making appointments will be on you. I understand that life is likely extremely busy for you, so I won’t take it personal if you take a lot of time between appointments – I have clients who have had years between appointments. Anyway, once I get your e-mail, I’ll send you a link so we can video chat. Said link is extremely secure, so feel free to be rather open when we do chat. But, for the sake of safety, I’m heavily encouraging you to use a VPN and make sure you’re in a secure place. Also, confidentiality is a two way street with us. Understood?”

“Yes,” I replied.

“Good. Now, let’s talk risks and benefits…”

The rest of the day went by as normal. After I made by daily trip to Peter Pan, I went home and gathered my supplies for the study night. Not wanting to risk another encounter with Scorpion, I decided to take an Uber over to MJ’s place.

During the car ride, I sat in the back seat of a yellow Ford Taurus. The driver was listening to a news report on the radio regarding my fight with Scorpion.

“…while no civilians were hurt in the clash, the fight resulted in sizeable property damage, including wrecked cars and a damaged fire hydrant. For better or for worse, the fight between Spider-Man and Scorpion was put to an end when Frictor, another masked vigilante and a member of the group known as the X-Men – which also includes Spider-Man – arrived on the scene and drove Scorpion off with an automatic rifle. Reaction towards the skirmish has been rather polarized on social media. While a lot of people pointed to this fight as another example for the need of The Accords, there has been a lot of pushback from those who believe that Justin Hammer created a problem by making a solution for an issue that didn’t need fixing in the first place…”

The driver sighed as she turned off the radio.

“Serves Scorpion right,” the driver commented, her voice colored with a Jamaican accent.

“I take it you’re not a fan of Scorpion,” I inquired, wanting to make small talk. At that, she scoffed.

“Nah, not even a little bit.” She shook her head. “All Scorpion did was make more trouble. They want to crack down on all of the vigilantes in New York, but they’re the ones helping out in this city. If the government was able to do their job, they would have done so already.” She chuckled. “Besides, Spider-Man has been nothing but good for us. A video ‘proving’ he killed Mysterio is not going to make me think any different.”

I smiled as I looked out the window. “I agree, Miss…”

“Mousie,” she said. I looked up at the rearview mirror to see her gazing back at me. I could tell she was smiling. "Good to see another Spider-Man fan.”

After I was dropped off, I took a moment to give Mousie five stars before I headed up. Once I reached MJ’s door, I knocked on it five times. I lowered my hand and waited. A few moments later, the door opened, revealing MJ on the other side, who was dressed in a black t-shirt with matching sweatpants.

“Hey Dork,” she greeted as she stepped aside.

“Hey Em,” I replied as I walked in. The two of us shared a brief kiss before I started taking off my shoes. “Is Ned here?”

“Yeah, he’s just using the bathroom. We’re set up in the living room, so have a seat.”

I made my way over to the living room. I took a seat on the sofa. On the coffee table was a bowl of nachos, a bowl of queso dip, and two cans of Coca-Cola, along with a couple of textbooks and notebooks. I heard the sound of a fridge opening and closing. I looked over my shoulder to see MJ walking towards me with a can of Coke. She handed the can towards me. I took it graciously.

“Thanks, Em,” I said in earnest.

“Anytime, Loser,” she replied as she took a seat next to me. “So, how was your day?”

“It was… interesting,” I told her. “…There’s a chance I might be in California this upcoming weekend.”

At that this, MJ smiled wryly. “Are you going Hollywood on me?”

I scoffed and shook my head. “No. It’s just… Scott, Craig, and Kitty got a text way early in the morning. There’s a good chance that said text came from Carmilla.”

MJ’s eyebrows furrowed up as she tilted her head. “Who?”

“Carmilla Black. She’s a former X-Men and was actually living with the others about six months before we all met them. And… she’s also Craig’s ex. They had a bit of a falling out. But, the text was written in this code that only Scott, Carmilla, Kitty and Craig know. Craig really wanted to get out there as soon as possible. Problem is the coordinates were in the middle of California’s part of the Sonoran Desert. So, Scott wants to make sure the text is legit before he decides to go out there.”

“Is Craig okay?” MJ asked.

“He will be, I think,” I replied. “He really wants to make sure she’s okay.” I sighed sadly as I remembered the talk Craig and I had on the roof. I then smiled slightly. “On a lighter note, though… I finally found a therapist to talk to.”

“That’s awesome, Loser!” MJ turned in her seat and wrapped her arms around my neck. She pulled me into a tight embrace, which I returned. “Seriously, I’ve been afraid that you’d burn yourself out, with what has been happening recently between you and Scorpion.”

“So was I.” I pulled away a bit, just enough so I could look MJ in the eye. “Fortunately, I had some people save me from my own stupidity.”

At that, MJ scoffed. “We’ll be doing that a lot,” she jested.

“I know you’re joking… but you’re right,” I replied.

“I usually am.” MJ leaned forward and pressed her lips against mine for a brief kiss.

“I’m grateful for that.”

We kissed again. This kiss wasn’t brief. As our lips moved against each other, we both ended up leaning against the backrest and headrest of the sofa. I turned by body, bringing my left knee on the cushion to get more comfortable. Right after that, I got lost in the kiss. I no longer cared about studying. The only thing I cared about at that moment was MJ. The only other thing I was still aware of was the sofa we were on – it could have been picked up by a tornado, and I would neither know nor care.

Unfortunately, we were interrupted by the sound of a throat clearing. We both parted and looked towards Ned, who gave us a halfhearted glare.

“I leave you alone for one minute, and you decided to start a make out session with Peter?” he chided MJ. “We’re here to study Trigonometry, not Anatomy!”

From the corner of my eye, I saw MJ pout. “You and Betty make out around me all the time, but I never say anything!” she shot back.

Ned raised his eyebrows as he leaned forward. “Yes you do! You always do! Just yesterday, you asked Betty what my vocal cords taste like! People were around us! They were grossed out!”

“Well maybe next time, you and Betty won’t start a make out session in the middle of the lunch line! The one time I decide to just get lunch from school, I have to see you and Betty trading spit like Pokémon cards!”

“You’re just mad because Peter’s not on campus with you!”

As the two went back and forth, I just watched them. It was a hilarious sight. But it was also relieving and poignant for me. Once again, I was reminded that I had Ned and MJ back in my life. And that made me happy.

Eventually, we did get to studying. We went over Sum and Difference formulas. We spent about three hours on it, not including the snack breaks we took. I made sure to take great notes – I wanted to be able to test into Calculus when I go to college. After the study session, the three of us got settled in for a movie. MJ wanted something dark and broody. Ned wanted something with action. I decided to split the difference by suggesting New Police Story. After we agreed on it, we all sat on the couch. Well, that wasn’t quite true. Ned was leaned up against my right arm. Meanwhile, MJ was curled up on my lap. It was just like the old days, during the time between MJ and I kissing in London and when The Daily Bugle helped Mysterio posthumously expose me.

It was a beautiful time.

However, things came to an end when the phone vibrated in my pocket. I used the remote to pause the movie before I looked down at MJ.

“Sorry, Sweetie, but I need you to move,” I told her apologetically. She moaned in disappointment, but she moved, sitting up and crossing her arms.

“Someone better be dying,” she deadpanned. I chuckled. I reached into my pocket and pulled out my phone. I looked at the cracked screen.

It was Kitty.

I answered the phone and put it to my ear.

“Hello,” I greeted.

“Hey Peter,” she replied. “…Are you alone?”

“No. I’m with Ned and MJ at the moment. Is everything okay?”

“…Sort of. Well, not really. I hit a snag on our group project. I was trying to track down the message we got this morning, but it turns out, the text was sent via e-mail.”

“…Wait, you can do that?” From the corner of my eye, I saw Ned look at me.

“As a matter of fact you can. It’ll take a bit of time, but we’ll figure it out. I just wanted to give you a bit of an update, and…”

“I can help with that,” Ned said aloud.

Kitty was given pause. “Excuse me?”

“Hold on, I’m putting you on speaker,” I stated before I put the cellphone on speaker and placed it on the coffee table.

“I was saying I can help with that,” Ned continued. “I have some programs in my laptop, and I have it with me. If you want, we can come over to where you guys are at, and I can track down where the email is from.”

“Ned… I know your hacking skills are quite impressive. But I don’t want you or MJ involved in this. The last thing I want you to do is unwittingly do something that’ll put a target on your back.”

“I can handle that, Kitty,” Ned assured. “You know, I hacked Peter’s suit – the one using Stark tech. So, tracking down a text via email shouldn’t be too much of a problem.”

“And besides, the more help you get, the quicker you guys can find out what’s going on with Carmilla,” MJ added. I didn’t say anything. I low key agreed with Kitty. I didn’t want Ned and MJ to get hurt. But, Ned is Guy In The Chair, and MJ was… MJ. We were a trio – half the time, wherever one went, we all went.

“…Okay, give me your location – Craig is picking you guys up.”

About thirty minutes later, Craig arrived. We made our way down and piled into his SUV. As he drove, we all remained silent. Craig was listening to music. I would later find out that he was listening to Delusional by Tech N9ne. We knew he was in a certain mood and that it was best that we didn’t try to talk to him, no matter how much I wanted to.

Eventually, we arrived at the garage where the X-Men kept their vehicles. After we exited Craig’s SUV, he beckoned us to follow him with his right hand. He walked over to a set of five light switches that were on a wall. They were all in the off position. Craig flipped them on and off in a certain sequence. After that, I heard the sound of a lock disengaging before a part of the floor opened up.

“A trapdoor?” MJ said.

“Yup,” Craig replied. He walked up to it. We followed him and watched as he made his way down a set of stairs. We descended after him. He stopped briefly at a red button and pressed it. Behind us, the trapdoor closed and locked. He then walked forward. As we followed him, we ended up in somewhat large room. There was a roundtable with chairs, a small counter with a Keurig machine, a fridge, a wooden cabinet, and a computer with three monitors on top of a large desk. Kitty was sitting at the desk, and Scott was at the table, sipping a cup of coffee.

“I got them,” Craig called out, getting the attention of Scott and Kitty.

“Hey guys,” Kitty replied as she turned in her seat. “Welcome to the underground.”

“Do your best to help us,” Scott said to Ned. “But there’ll be no hard feelings if you can’t. Tell us what we need to do.”

“I’m going to need one of your cellphones and a cord,” Ned stated. Craig pulled out his cellphone and walked up to Ned. He handed the device over. After that, he reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out his charger. He pulled the cord out of the charging box and handed it over to Ned. “Thank you." Craig nodded quietly.

Ned walked over to the round table and took a seat. During this, Scott and Kitty stood up from their seats and joined Craig, MJ, and I behind Ned. Ned took a couple of minutes to boot up his laptop. After that, he booted up a couple of programs. One was a custom VPN he often used when he talked with me during my Spider-Man activities prior to The Spell. He took a moment to set the location for Antarctica. After that, he ran another program. This one showed a black and white map of the world covered in red dots.

“What is that?” MJ asked.

“It’s a map of every cell tower on Earth,” Ned replied. “It can also show every server on Earth, too.” After he connected the charging cord to his laptop, Ned connected Craig’s phone to the cord. As the screen on the phone lit up, Craig reached over for it. He tapped in a code, unlocking it. He then went through the settings to allow data transfer for the phone. He backed off after that, letting Ned continue his work. Ned went through Craig’s phone via his laptop before he found the file for Craig’s texts. “Which text are we looking for?”

“It should be the most recent one,” Craig replied.

Ned nodded before he switched programs. Using the program, he went through Craig’s phone again. After pulling up the message, he tapped at the keyboard of his computer a few times before the map was pulled up again. Several of the dots flashed yellow until there were two yellows dots. There was one in California – in the Sonoran Desert region – and one in New York.

“So the text originated from California,” Ned explained. “It reached a cell tower in New York – probably the one closest to where you guys live at.” He looked at Scott, Craig, and Kitty as he did so. “However, you did say it was sent by e-mail. So…” He typed a command into the computer before a green dot lit up. It was also in New York, practically right on top of the yellow dot. “…It looks like the e-mail went through a server in New York.” He typed in a few commands. “…The e-mail originated from the server at these coordinates.”

“Let me see them,” MJ said as she pulled out her phone. She opened up her browser. She then looked back and forth between the screen of the laptop and phone as she typed away at the phone’s screen.

“What are you doing?” I asked.

“Googling the coordinates,” she replied. After she was done typing, she looked at the screen of her phone. Her eyes went wide for a bit. She then took in a breath and closed eyes. There was a look of annoyance on her face.

“…Everything okay?” Scott said as everyone looked at her.

“…So, there was a hit on the coordinates.” MJ opened her eyes. “But you guys are not going to like this – at all.”

She placed her phone on the counter. We all looked down at it. My mouth went ajar as I read the Google result.

How Good Are Vehicle Selections With Car Dealerships In Nebraska?

When you’re looking to buy a car, the options available can make a big difference in finding the right vehicle for your needs and budget. For those shopping in Nebraska, car dealerships provide a wide selection that can cater to diverse tastes and requirements. From fuel-efficient sedans to rugged trucks, Nebraska's dealerships have become popular for both variety and accessibility. In this article, we’ll take a closer look at the vehicle selection at car dealerships in Nebraska, the types of vehicles they offer, and how the car-buying experience is enhanced by professional car transporters.

Wide Range of Vehicles Available

Car dealerships in Nebraska offer a broad selection of vehicles. Whether you're looking for a new or used car, you’ll likely find multiple makes and models in Nebraska. This state is known for dealerships that stock an impressive variety of cars, trucks, SUVs, and specialty vehicles. According to data from the Nebraska Department of Motor Vehicles, nearly 2 million registered vehicles exist in the state, showing that there is high demand and an active market. This demand has pushed dealerships to keep a robust inventory, helping customers find options that suit their individual needs and lifestyles.

New Cars: Options Across All Major Brands

If you’re interested in a brand-new car, Nebraska’s car dealerships provide vehicles from almost every major car manufacturer. This includes popular brands like Ford, Chevrolet, Toyota, Honda, and more luxury options like BMW and Mercedes-Benz. The variety is impressive, making it easier for Nebraskans to compare features, prices, and financing options all in one place.

For instance, if you're searching for an efficient compact car, you can choose among popular models like the Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, and Hyundai Elantra. Nebraska’s dealers frequently carry these models, allowing you to compare the vehicles side by side. Additionally, many dealerships have demo models or test-drive events, so you can experience the car before making a purchase.

Used Cars: Affordable Choices with Great Value

A significant part of Nebraska's dealership offerings includes a wide range of pre-owned vehicles. For budget-conscious buyers, used cars provide an excellent way to get a reliable vehicle without the higher price tag of a brand-new car. According to Kelley Blue Book, the average price of a used car in the U.S. was around $27,000 in 2023, a more affordable option compared to new car prices, which averaged around $48,000. This trend is also evident in Nebraska, where the cost of living and median income can make used cars a more attractive option.

Nebraska’s dealerships are known for their rigorous inspection processes on used vehicles, providing peace of mind for buyers. Many dealerships also offer certified pre-owned (CPO) programs. Cars in these programs are thoroughly inspected, refurbished, and often come with limited warranties, which can be a huge benefit for someone who wants the assurance of a quality vehicle without paying full price.

Trucks and SUVs: High Demand and High Supply

Nebraska is a state where trucks and SUVs are particularly popular due to the rural areas, agricultural industry, and challenging weather conditions. Pickup trucks like the Ford F-150, Chevrolet Silverado, and RAM 1500 are some of the most common vehicles you’ll find at Nebraska dealerships. In fact, trucks make up about 20% of the total vehicles sold in the state, reflecting their utility and appeal among Nebraskans.

SUVs are also in high demand, especially mid-size and full-size options like the Toyota Highlander, Honda Pilot, and Ford Explorer. These vehicles offer ample passenger and cargo space, making them ideal for families and those who frequently travel. Nebraska's car dealerships stock these vehicles because they are reliable, handle well in all weather conditions, and meet the needs of Nebraskan drivers.

Electric and Hybrid Vehicles: A Growing Selection

Electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrids are becoming more common across the U.S., and Nebraska is no exception. Although EV infrastructure is still developing in the state, several dealerships offer popular electric models like the Tesla Model 3, Ford Mustang Mach-E, and Chevrolet Bolt. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, Nebraska currently has over 50 public EV charging stations, and this number is expected to grow as more people turn to eco-friendly transportation options.

Hybrid vehicles are also widely available, providing a balance between fuel efficiency and affordability. Cars like the Toyota Prius, Honda CR-V Hybrid, and Ford Escape Hybrid are available at many Nebraska dealerships, appealing to buyers interested in reducing fuel costs while still having a traditional fuel tank as backup.

Specialty and Luxury Vehicles: More Options Than Expected

For those in the market for a luxury or specialty vehicle, car dealerships in Nebraska may surprise you. High-end vehicles like BMWs, Mercedes-Benz, and Audis can be found in specific dealerships, often in urban areas like Omaha and Lincoln. There are also sports cars and specialty models for car enthusiasts, such as the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Corvette, and Dodge Challenger.

While the selection may not be as extensive as in larger metro areas, Nebraska still offers enough options for buyers to find luxury and performance vehicles without traveling out of state. For instance, some dealerships can arrange a car transfer if the model you’re looking for isn’t in stock, allowing Nebraskans to access an even wider selection with ease.

How Car Transporters Make It Easier to Access More Options

For Nebraskans looking to expand their vehicle search beyond local dealerships, car transporters provide a convenient solution. With the help of a reliable car transport company, customers can purchase vehicles from out-of-state dealerships or sellers and have them delivered directly to Nebraska. This option opens up a wider market, especially for buyers looking for unique models or specific vehicle features.

Car transporters also benefit customers who live in rural areas or small towns far from larger dealerships. With the option to have a vehicle transported, buyers can shop confidently, knowing they’re not limited by distance or location. Transporting a car across state lines might cost between $700 and $1,200 on average, depending on distance, but it often provides more flexibility and access to a wider range of choices.

Car dealerships in Nebraska offer a substantial selection of vehicles, from economical sedans to powerful trucks, along with growing options for electric and hybrid cars. Whether you’re looking for a new or used car, or something more luxurious, Nebraska dealerships have options that cater to all preferences and budgets. Plus, with the help of car transporters, you’re not restricted by location—you can find the vehicle you want and have it brought to you.

In a state where varied weather and diverse landscapes call for a range of vehicles, Nebraska’s car dealerships are well-equipped to meet these needs. With thousands of vehicles available and car transporters standing by, Nebraskans have the freedom to choose the perfect vehicle with ease and confidence.

Second Hand Cars: Choosing the Right Model for You

Shopping for a car should be exciting, but choosing the right model can be overwhelming—especially when exploring second hand cars. With countless options, from budget-friendly compact cars to robust SUVs, finding the perfect fit depends on knowing what to look for. Let’s break down how to make the best choice and feel confident in your purchase.

Why Choose Second Hand Cars?

Many prefer Second Hand Cars for their affordability and variety. They offer quality models at a fraction of the new-car price, making features and models more accessible. Additionally, used cars depreciate slower than new vehicles, meaning they retain their value longer.

Key Benefits of Second-Hand Cars

Cost Savings: Buying usually translates into significant savings, making luxury and high-end models more accessible.

Slower Depreciation: New cars lose value rapidly, while Second Hand Cars depreciate more slowly, allowing you to recoup a better resale value.

Certified Pre-Owned Options: Many dealerships now offer certified pre-owned programs, giving peace of mind with extended warranties and inspections.

Step 1: Define Your Needs and Budget

The first step to choosing the right model is identifying your needs and setting a clear budget. Are you looking for a city commuter, a family SUV, or an adventure-ready off-roader? Here’s a quick guide to get started:

Commuters and Small Families: Sedans or compact SUVs like the Toyota Corolla or Honda CR-V offer excellent mileage, easy handling, and affordable pricing.

Large Families or Cargo Needs: SUVs like the Ford Explorer or Toyota Highlander offer extra space and added safety features.

Adventure Seekers: Look into used Jeep Wrangler or Subaru Outback models for their robust handling and off-road capabilities.

Once you have your requirements clear, calculate a budget. When you shop for Second Hand Cars, aim to account for the initial cost and taxes, registration, and potential repairs.

Step 2: Research and Compare Models

Second Hand Cars offer a variety of features, mileage, and conditions. Research different makes and models to ensure they meet your specific needs.

Key Factors to Research

Fuel Efficiency: With rising gas prices, fuel-efficient models like the Honda Civic or Toyota Prius could save significantly in the long run.

Reliability: Brands like Toyota, Honda, and Subaru are known for their long-lasting reliability, even in used conditions.

Safety Features: If safety is a priority, look for models with high safety ratings from organisations like the NHTSA and IIHS.

Step 3: Check the Vehicle History Report

The history report can reveal critical information like:

Accident Records: Ensure the car wasn’t involved in any serious collisions.

Maintenance History: Cars with regular maintenance records are typically more reliable.

Title Status: Confirm that the car has a clean title and is free from liens or salvage status.

Step 4: Inspect and Test Drive the Car

Look for Rust and Leaks: Check the undercarriage and under the hood for signs of rust or leaks.

Examine the Interior and Exterior: Assess the car’s condition, including the seats, dashboard, and exterior paint.

Test Drive: Pay attention to how the car feels, including steering response, braking, and any unusual sounds from the engine or suspension.

Step 5: Negotiate the Price

One of the best parts about buying a second-hand car is the ability to negotiate. With a thorough understanding of the car’s condition, mileage, and market value, you can negotiate a fair price. 

Conclusion

Purchasing Second Hand Cars is an affordable and rewarding way to drive away in a vehicle that meets your needs without stretching your budget. From defining what you need to researching models, checking the car's history, and negotiating a fair price, every step brings you closer to finding a car you'll love. By following these guidelines, you’ll make a smart financial decision and enjoy the car you choose for years to come.

Common Misconceptions About Buying Used Trucks for Sale

When it comes to purchasing a vehicle, the choice between new and used can be a significant decision. Trucks for Sale in NZ offers a fantastic balance between quality and affordability for many. However, several misconceptions surround buying used trucks that can lead potential buyers astray. Let’s dive into some of these myths and set the record straight!

Myth 1: Used Trucks Are Always in Poor Condition

One of the most common misconceptions about Trucks for Sale is that they’re always in less-than-stellar condition. While it's true that some used trucks may have been through a lot, many are well-maintained and in excellent shape. A thorough inspection and a little research can uncover trucks that have been cared for properly.

What to Look For:

Service History: A truck with a documented service history is often a sign of reasonable care.

Condition Reports: Ask for detailed reports that outline any repairs or maintenance.

Pre-Purchase Inspection: Always consider getting an independent mechanic to inspect the truck before purchase.

Myth 2: You’ll Have to Compromise on Features

Another myth is that buying used means sacrificing essential features. While older models may lack the latest tech, many used trucks have features that meet current standards.

Benefits of Used Trucks:

Value for Money: A used truck with desirable features can often be found for a fraction of the cost of a new one.

Model Variety: With a wide selection of trucks for sale in NZ, you can find various models that may include all the bells and whistles you want.

Myth 3: Financing a Used Truck Is Difficult

Many believe financing a used truck is more complicated than funding a new one. However, financial institutions often offer competitive rates for Trucks for Sale NZ, and numerous financing options are available.

Tips for Financing:

Shop Around: Don’t settle for the first offer; compare rates from various lenders.

Check Your Credit: A good credit score can significantly improve financing options.

Consider Credit Unions: They often have better rates and terms for used vehicle loans.

Myth 4: You Can’t Trust Used Truck Sellers

It’s common to hear stories of unscrupulous sellers regarding used vehicles, which can lead to distrust. However, many reputable dealers and private sellers are committed to transparency and quality.

How to Find Trustworthy Sellers:

Research Online: Look for reviews and ratings of dealers before making a decision.

Ask for Recommendations: Friends or family purchasing used trucks can be a valuable resource.

Check Certifications: Many dealers offer certified pre-owned vehicles that have been thoroughly inspected and have warranties. These are used cars inspected, refurbished, and approved by the manufacturer or other certifying authority, ensuring their quality and reliability.

Myth 5: You’ll Lose Value Quickly

While it’s true that new vehicles depreciate quickly, used trucks often maintain their value better over time. Many models have already gone through the steepest part of depreciation, allowing you to enjoy your purchase without fearing losing value rapidly. This should give you a sense of security about your investment.

Understanding Depreciation:

Choose Popular Models: Trucks from brands like Ford, Toyota, and Isuzu tend to hold their value better over time. For instance, a used Ford Ranger or a Toyota Hilux can be a reliable and cost-effective choice.

Regular Maintenance: This includes regular servicing, timely repairs, and keeping the truck clean, all of which help retain its resale value.

Conclusion

In conclusion, by debunking these common misconceptions, you can confidently approach the trucks for sale in NZ, feeling empowered in your decision-making process. This sense of empowerment is a crucial advantage of buying used trucks and has numerous other benefits.

So, whether you're looking for a workhorse to handle heavy loads or a reliable vehicle for your weekend adventures, remember that plenty of quality options are available. Don’t let misconceptions keep you from finding the perfect used truck that meets your needs and budget.

Growth Drivers

Affordability and the Need for Private Conveyance

According to the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA), the automotive industry contributes about 4% to the global GDP, which is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 20.78% by 2028. This highlights the increasing global car ownership, with a substantial share attributed to used car ownership. The launch of new entry-level cars also boosts demand, impacting used vehicle sales.

Despite the shorter ownership duration of new cars, the used car segment offers a wealth of options for first-time car buyers who find it safe to buy second-hand cars until they become proficient daily drivers.

Franchise Dealers Aim to Offer Better Financial Schemes

Competitive pricing has been a significant advantage for companies in the used vehicle market. This market benefits from substantial investments by key industry participants who are setting up new dealership networks. Online sales of pre-owned cars are a critical growth factor for the global used vehicle market. However, financing options for used vehicles are relatively expensive compared to new cars, posing a potential challenge to market growth.

The used vehicle market is expected to benefit significantly from certified used vehicle programs. Franchise dealers offering better financial schemes have created favorable conditions for used car sales. Several online platforms, such as Vroom and Fair, have partnered with OEMs to ensure the reliability of their certified used vehicle programs.

Compact Passenger Cars Segment to Lead, SUVs to Follow

Compact or entry-level cars are expected to account for the largest volume share in the used vehicle market. This aligns with growing consumer preferences for economical and compact passenger cars. From the supply side, high production rates and significant inventories favor franchise owners, leading to better supply chain management.

Conversely, SUVs are on a profitable growth trajectory, offering both spacious and compact attributes compared to premium vehicles. Their high distribution network and residual value drive the rising demand for SUVs.

Key Market Players Engaging in Used Car Dealerships

Historically, automotive industry operators focused on new vehicles, but the potential and market worth of used vehicles are now recognized. Global auto giants are actively involved in used vehicle dealerships, responding to intense competition and shifting consumer behavior. New entrants, often unorganized local companies, are likely to form strategic partnerships, adding to the market's fragmented nature.

Luxury car brands, such as Mercedes and Audi, have established used car dealerships, contributing significantly to their revenue. Used passenger cars enjoy a larger share in the global market, prompting several brands to launch specific networks for used cars, like Toyota’s U Trust and Maruti Suzuki’s True Value. Mainstream companies are also investing in strategic expansions through collaborations.

Growth Challenges

Adoption of Ride Sharing Trend

While ride sharing offers economical transportation, it poses challenges for used car dealers and financers. Fewer car owners over a vehicle's lifespan reduce transaction volumes in the used vehicle market. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has shifted attitudes towards private conveyance, boosting demand for used vehicles, especially in developing economies, due to their affordability. The temporary negative impact on new vehicle sales could benefit the used vehicle market.

Growth Opportunities Across Regions

Used Car Market to Gain Traction in Asia Pacific

North America is expected to hold a significant share of the global used vehicle market over the forecast period, driven by an extensive presence of used vehicle dealers, favorable economic growth, financing availability, and the popularity of SUVs and trucks. In contrast, the Asia Pacific region is projected to experience significant growth, supported by higher disposable incomes, booming populations, urbanization, and increasing car popularity.
