Thread: Buying a used car from a dealership

Never bought 2nd hand vehicle from dealership so I cant help with your question.

But here is my 2 cent if any good, I would stay away from dealer or turner auction.

Find the vehicle car model that you need or want and if you are not in the hurry
I often see decent vehicle going for lot less on trademe, no 8, thornton or mayhem
A couple of week ago, 1 seller sold his car at much less than what I offered him a year ago.

The catch with private sale is money security,
This is what I did in the past, I made $1 payment to seller bank account and make sure they received it at the same time
if all ok, then make the full payment at the same time as I checked the car security (carjam but cheaper thru NZ company govt office)

I have had a few private bike seller not accommodating this method and that tell me something.
