Looking at a car for sale and this is what it said. "Lastly, I will not sell this vehicle to a Christchurch buyer. This vehicle has sentimental value and prefer it sold out of my home town."

Most people reading that would understand they have said that becasue the vehicle means to much to thm they do not wish to see it around town after its sold.
Sounds like they are needing to sell it rather than 'wanting' too

I have seen listings where sellers said they would not seller to Aucklanders before. Could it be that people in Christchurch are becoming like people in Auckland, whatever that is? Pretentious yuppie types I guess.

Its got nothing to do with WHO is buying it, its about not wanting to see the car again and be reminded about it. You don't know for what reasons.

It may have been owned by a loved one, and may not want to be reminded

you got lucky, as did I, I recently bought a car in Geraldine which I considered to be a good buy, especially compared to prices in the main centres.

LOL. I love cars but have never had sentimental value for one. As long as you pay me for it, you are welcome to take a sledge hammer and do as you wish for all I care.

There are many 'sentimental' reasons why he doesn't want to see the car again eg he might have had a family member Who has passed away and seeing the car may reminds him of his passed loved one. just saying. calling him a drop kick is a bit harsh when you don't know the circumstances.

For the life of me, I can't see what difference a Christchurch buyer or not could possible make.

Maybe it's because he doesn't think it can handle the Christchurch roads, and would rather it has a nice life.

I like the H2's personally. H1 - ugly. H3 - too small.

I thought the same when considering selling the Jailbar, Id hate it to drive past regularly & not be in it, I see my old T-bucket around occasionally & thats pretty tough (sold it when I didn't really want to but had to)

I've sold multiple cars in Christchurch in twelve years of living here. I've only ever seen one of them once again.

I like the H1 personally.
H1 = the real thing, like the ones the US army uses to impose American political policy on poor people in deserts worldwide.
H2 = a modified Chev ute with a chrome HUMMER grille for insecure people who want to pretend they're American rappers.
H3 = Holden Colorado / Rodeo / Isuzu D-Max platform with a chrome HUMMER grille for insecure people who want to pretend they're American rappers.

I have to ask now --what is the importance of the sellers specific statement to YOU? You are based in Tauranga so in no way does this affect you. The seller doesn't want the car to stay in the city. Their car their call.

I'd be more interested in knowing the REAL reason they want the car to leave town. An H3 Hummer just doesn't seem like the kind of car you fall in love with?
Does the vendor have a crazy ex who might attack or vandalise the car - creating a local paper scandal that will embarrass the vendor?
Any other guesses?

Perhaps he doesn't want 'come backs' too close to home. The further away the better?

Phew, I am only one of these.

Nothing really. I just find it really strange. He might as well put. If you buy this car you must wear red undies on Sunday's and Monday's.
