Well the missus is pregnant with our first kid so we needed to buy a new baby friendly car. Being the tight-ass I am and also self-proclaimed master mechanic, I decided to buy a car off trademe. Narrowed down my list of suitable models so was just a matter utilizing car yards to test drive them and confirm the choices before slinking off to trademe for the right one.
While searching for victims, "Millars Car Centre" popped up on my list, I instantly recognized it as Frosty's car yard and since he owed me a favour for helping him move once (and the time I let him pass me on the racetrack) I thought sweet here I come!!
To cut a long story short, not only did Frosty show me around heaps of suitable choices I soon found the perfect car on his lot. He offered me an absolute amazing deal on it. Still not convinced I looked on trademe for an equivalent but couldn't beat his price. Then I had my master master mechanic check it out and he was thoroughly impressed with it's condition, clean fluids and total absence of crash repairs which is rare for an import so all doubts erased it is now sitting in my driveway.
Cheers Frosty and great work, the missus loves her new car. From a very "skeptical, anti-car dealer" person you've convinced me that they aren't all dodgy :).
