Car Dealers Information

Car Dealers can be found in almost every town in New Zealand. Dealers can stock both used and new cars, some stock both. They offer a big selection of cars in one central place for viewing. Also car dealers offer their knowledge and expertise when looking for a new (or used) car.

When you buy from a car dealer you are covered under the Consumer Guarantees Act. This act ensures you receive a car in its advertised state, with no hidden defects or problems that hadnt been discussed prior to the purchase of the vehicle. Don’t rely solely on the Consumer Guarantees Act, ensure you complete steps so you lessen your chances of getting a damaged car. The steps that are essential when looking at any car, whether from a dealer or not, are to take the car for a test drive, a mechanical inspection and research into the cars history. A test drive is important as you can pick up on faults as you are driving what could potentially be your next car.

A mechanical inspection should be carried out by a mechanic that you trust. AA check stations can be found in most major cities. All problems can be found this way, and you can find out fast whether the car could give you trouble in the future.

Finally research into the cars history is important to ensure there are no owing debts , as well as past owners and general information. This information should be readily available to you, if not from the dealer (or seller) themselves, then check out some online sites such as CarJam.
