Don't believe that for an instant .so obviously a publicity stunt !Strange how it was a vehicle only worth $3000 (their valuation), probably closer to $1500.

They'll be hoping there's no warranty issues at that price.

They are opening soon in Tauranga on the Jacobsen site Jazz. I expect you to visit them and give them the advice they need to be a success. They need to focus on VW and Fiat and this will work well on that site as it was for many years a successfull Euro site. On top of this nobody else in Tauranga is specialising in these products (used). Go on mate, there's an oportunity to work there too.

it was all a have, the trader and dealer are one, that is why the trader is now deleted

All the dealer had to do was admit to a mistake on the pricing & it would have probably gone no further, if this was genuine.
I recall a few years ago HERE on TM I bought a Porsche 911 with a buy now of $1. The seller realised he'd made a mistake & it was meant to be a $1 reserve, not 'buy now'. We had a laugh & let it go. I'm sure it happens all the time without the 'media' getting involved.

By clicking buy now at $1, that is an offer and sale agreement between the buyer and a dealer, so the consumer guarantees act applies to this particular sale. The fact it sold for $1 is irrelevant in law, although the price would be taken into consideration if it went to the disputes tribunal. That would be quite funny wouldn't it!

And anyone would have to be a prize %^$#@ to try to enforce a sale based on an honest mistake.

Obviously you are not familiar with the contractual mistakes act 1977. If a mistake is made it is unlikely to be enforced by the courts. http://www.legislation.govt.nz/act/public/1977/0054/latest/DLM443652.html (b)the mistake or mistakes, as the case may be, resulted at the time of the contract??

Phill Weston has the goods : they are the words from the buyers "mouth" so to speak, I'm going with publicity stunt theory
