From auck to palmy!

you better dont buy a car unseen.

splinter67, Nov 20, 7:56pm
talk to palmy tow should be 1 or 2 days only

springchicken6, Nov 20, 7:58pm
going to see if we can have someone look at it for us. Plus its been aa appraised through a dealer

AA aprised . you would better ask a 5 year old to aprise it for you then the AA as a 5 year old kid would do a better job then the AA

AA appraised dont mean shit

ya better off getting a reputable mechanic to look it over. AA are more interested in looking at the cosmetic side rather than the mechanical

Springchicken-First of all count on a few days for shipping.That is reasonable allowing they may not travel to palmy daily.
Second. PLEASE do not for a second concider an AA appraisal to in any way be a Pre purchase inspection because it is NOT.Its no more than is required to be done for compliance and is pure advertising.
You will get a better inspection getting a WOF check done and asking them to tell you how it feels. -Im NOT suggesting that either but its just to give an idea.
I STRONGLYrecommend asking if its ok to have an AA FULL pre purchase inspection done. The cost to YOU will be $145 if an AA member.
Not that the AA is my suggestion but the dealers reaction will tell you everything.
The preference is to have an inspection done by a decent mechanic as a second option Car Inspection Services or Incar services do a reasonable job. -All should cost about the AA price.
I usually recommend getting the car inspected by a freind first then if it seems good get it propperly mechanically inspected.

bought a car from Chch sight unseen, shipped by train overnight to AKL, no problems, Geez, it's only a car. It was a RSK B4 Subby too.

Buy what you like its your money would have thought one of these nice helpful people from Auckland might have gone and checked it out for you if I was there I would maybe we are more helpful in hawkes bay

LMFAO, quote of the year.

There's only maybe 4 people in HB i'd trust to "check" something out for me, 3 of those are family and the other is someone who used to be a regular poster here.

splinter67, Nov 22, 10:26am

attitudedesignz, Nov 22, 5:44pm

splinter67, Nov 22, 5:49pm
