Havn't dealt with Millers myself but the word goes that he has goes out of his way to make sure the customer is happy, above all else and it would seem that includes profit margins! Would happily deal with him, or any dealer like him.

Learn the main indian words: " What price"!, "how much discount for cash"! and " what discount if I buy it today"!.Buy in the weekdays esp wed/ thurs when they're keen to do a deal.Start of a month is no good, end of the month is great esp if they're missing their sales targets!

Try to catch him before he starts drinking. He's usually sober till at least 10.am

He also employs child labour - I've seen a photo to prove it!

ahem, just kidding of course. He does have a good rep. Thought I had better clarify that before i was ostracized.

I cover all of Auckland inspecting cars, south/west Auckland i do a quick check before i inspect, indian / european / chinese / russian / middle eastern all cut corners so where ever you buy get a independant inspection regardless of a vehicles looks or value

Hey Op. The Corolla is a fairly diverse beastie now. The 5 door hatch is calleda corolla runx or allex, The sedan is still called corolla,The wagon is now called a feilder. -all good solid reliable cars. The mazda 3 is a good car too,There is a jap import variation on it which is called the Verissa. But you might find you fall in love with something totallydifferent. Whatever you do decide on I reccomend getting a pre purchase inspection carried out. I can vouch for Car Inspection services
