Just been dealing with a bloke in Wanganui try to pass a suzuki swift off as mint nick when according to MTF it has been classed as a write off due to a serious smash recently. He swore black n blue 'mint condition' inside and out etc only too find its a dud. Hopefully prior to purchase. According to MTF he has been busted doing this before and investigated. And he has his business name up and all.ballsy or what! According to his message back (verbatim) "I don't care!" Top bloke. They should be booted off! Thoughts!

It is a LEGAL requirement to state on the CIN card if the car has been deregistered in NZ (or not). It is that simple. Failing to do so is breaking the law. I do question on thing though.What has Motor Trade FINANCE (ie a finance company) got to do with this conversation! How do they have the slightest idea why the car was written off! It might have been a stolen/recovered wright off or an uneconomic to repair wrightoff.--Not siding with the guy just asking out of interest. (NO I do not knowingly ever sell ex wrightoffs)

Many cars, if repaired properly end up better than factory condition.
Especially cars as simple as a Suzuki Swift.

Yeah he selling it privately.has relisted it now and adjusted his ad accordingly. Spraypainter/panelman by trade. Yeah the MTF bloke thought it to good too be true the price for the model and delved a little deeper. Had all the details, was in a serious crash with a Dihatsu and classed as a wite off. Deregistered since January and only recently registered again.

Didn't a whole lot of Swifts get written off because of minor damage to the front! Small dings killed the bumpers and they couldn't get replacements or something!

A car can be in mint condition even if it has been in a major crash if the repair is done to a high standard.
