Who do you report undisclosed dealers to? I had MVTA in my mind but doesn't seem to be that. I have reported to TradeMe, but want to go up a level, as I have reported others from this seller previously but don't think they did much, if anything. PS I would be cool to find a 2004 Hyund |

Negotiating with car dealers You are required to give an offer on paper. The salesman will then discuss with his boss whether or not your offer is accepted. Anyone have a rough idea what margins are in used cars these days? The listed price for Toyota Corolla 2017 is $17400. Wh |

Q for dealers on here. If you sell a car to someone in another a part of nz (you're in Auckland and they are in Christchurch), what's the deal if the car needs repair during its warranty period? Obviously I'm asking as I'm looking at a car in Auckland. |

Claim PPI cost from dealers if car fails Do you think it is fair to put as a condition that if a car fails PPI, then the dealer should bear the cost of the PPI? That would discourage dealers from trying to sell vehicles with non-obvious issues that only show up in a PPI. |

Dollar dives-lots of "dealers' puckering. The dollar has just dived to a 6 year low.I wonder how many of the backyard type dealers suddenly find its time to find easier work elsewhere. Petrol has to skyrocket again so that means another mass drop of "gas guzzlers" Time will tell I guess. |

Are dealers obliged to use genuine parts? Let's say during PPI it was discovered that right rear wheel bearing need to be replaced. The dealer agrees to replace it.
