Went in to sai to have a look at a Toyota Blade, the dealer hovered around a bit much as I was trying to look under the car etc but I can get over that, overall I liked the car and was ready to purchase - I just needed to show a few photos to our panelbeaters as the bonnet had bad acid staining we would have repaired upon purchase. As I said to the dealer he told me 'That doesnt need it, to spray bonnet is $100-150' - I thought funny thing to say, I wasnt trying to bargain with the fact I would have repainted a bonnet, I had not mentioned a price, so I informed him I too was in the automotive trade and a bonnet spray to a good standard would realistically be closer to $400, the dealer then snarkily reaponded 'then you are not in the trade'. Who the hell are these guys to tell me who I am or what I do/dont do. Your smart assed little comment lost you a near guaranteed sale, attitude is everything in this life and this place certainly has it wrong. I will most definately be avoiding in future. I feel like we dodged a bullet.

I looked at 2 cars online in Otahuhu. According to photos online they were near identical but when I went to see them they were nothing like the photos. Then I found one on Trade Me at Sai NZ Cars in Penrose. Not being from Auckland I was using Google Maps to get me there. However the Google map put us wrong so I rang up to ask where they were. They were kind enough to send someone to where I was so I could follow them there. That was just the start. When I got there I asked to see the AA report which had been done the day before. The car passed inspection but had shown the tires were at 3mm. They replaced the tires anyway. I was surprised they could get new registration plates straight away on a Sunday. The car is excellent quality for the price because I have been looking at the same model for 2 weeks and it was the best! I highly recommend this family business and will definitely be going back there next time I am looking. Thank you for all your help. I love my new car.

Have known the dealer for 8 years now since i got my SUV from him and i always recommend this dealer to friends who are looking to buy imported cars, so far no bad feedback from the people i recommended, all are happy, and always come back to him. He is a straight forward person to deal with and cars are always good quality. Highly recommended dealer.++++++
