    Money owing and write-offs on the Jazz

    1% had money owing
    21% were recorded as written off

    Of about 490 used Honda Jazz checked on Carify since November 2023. Every car checked: 9% had money owing and 13% were written off.

    These are cars people chose to check before buying, so they are not a share of every Jazz on the road. Money owing is what was registered against the car on the day it was checked.

    Older cars also carry a compliance plate, usually under the bonnet or on a door pillar. A car supplied new since mid 2021 may have none: it is entered on the Register of Approved Vehicles instead.

Most 2015 Jazz are advertised at $10,500 to $15,500, with 70,000 to 155,000 km on the odometer. Prices depend on the year, the kilometres, the badge and the condition.
