RE: Goodbye Zoom Zoom
We bought a new car, so the dealer doesn't actually hold the vehicle in stock. It is held in storage in Auckland.
So it will come down on the back of a truck and then go through a testing and grooming process before they hand it over.
It's my first time doing this :-)
The previous car was also new but it was a demo so we just bought it off the lot and got it a bit cheaper.
Here, cars are available on the lot already. Pay (or more likely fill out the loan paperwork and get approval) and drive off the lot with a temporary license that's good until the DMV issues a permanent plate.
We can do that for a car that has already been registered. So for a second hand car, or a demo car you can do that.
But for new cars here, because a lot of the car yards are quite small, they don't actually hold the stock on the premises.
It would have been really nice to drive away in it on the day though. :-)
