Duncan7 Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 Hey all, thought id ask.. Heading up to auckland to look for a new car, likely import, euro accord wagon or atenza or similar. Was heading to botany/pakuranga area and probably the manukau end of great south road... I realise there are dealers all over the place, time is of the essence, so cant be going all over the place, so are there any real good spots where a number of larger dealers have yards with good stock? TIA Duncan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophia Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 There is Great South Rd Greenlane West, quite a few dealers there. Where Broadway meets Manukau Rd, Great South Rd and Alpers Ave there is a big Honda dealership and a a couple of european places like Continental cars within about 50m of that. Further away I think there are a few at the Papatoetoe end of Great South Rd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#!CrunchBang Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 I reckon, shop around for cars you like off trademe and then get a bunch of dog and lemon guides on those cars. It'll help you cut down the well known bad cars like the Mazda cappella. The dog and lemon guides I have from earlier this year are Here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#!CrunchBang Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 Get a Toyota, like I did, The only 'issue' was the power steering made a noise after sitting a day or two, turned out it need power steering fluid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan7 Posted December 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 Pretty much decided on a 2.4L Euro accord wagon, They have got a decent boot without being a ford/holden with the bigger engines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
