🚗💚 A GREAT CAR FOR A GREAT CAUSE! 💚🚗

We're doing something a little different at Franklin Hospice… we're auctioning one of our fleet vehicles to help raise funds for our new hospice building!

And it's a beauty!

🚙 2023 Mazda CX-5 AWD GSX

✅ Just 40,597 kilometres

✅ 2.5L petrol, automatic

✅ Full service history

✅ WOF and registration through to 2027

This fantastic vehicle has been part of our hospice fleet since new, and now it's time for it to find a new home! We're hoping someone in our wonderful community might see this as an opportunity to get themselves a great car while helping us build something pretty special.

Every bid brings us closer to our new hospice building in Pukekohe, where we'll continue caring for local patients and their families for generations to come. So, if you're in the market for a car, get bidding! And if you're not, we'd absolutely love you to share this post.

🔨 BID HERE: https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/mazda/cx-5/listing/6189703225

A great car. A great cause. One very special auction.

Thank you for getting behind Franklin Hospice! 💚
