The Car Fair is great and well organised with heaps of cars to look at if you are interested in buying. The owners usually stay with their cars so that the buyer can thoroughly check the car inside and out and ask any questions that they might have. I hate buying a car, it's always such a dreaded thing and you never know whether you're going to get a shitter or not. I'm not saying that the Ellerslie Car Fair contains no shitters, but at least you have a bunch of cars in one place, which are all being sold individually. You can check the cars out properly and even take them for a test drives.

Ellerslie Car Fair is instantly gratifying. Second hand car shopping can be quite the ordeal,…read moreparticularly as most of its done over the internet these days. But at the Ellerslie Car Fair you can see the car for yourself, right in front of you and instantly form an opinion. You can take a thorough look inside and out, you can touch it, smell it (and even taste it if you really wanted). You can speak to the owner face to face, ask questions and set up a test drive. If you want the car you can negotiate a price then and there (no trying to guess reserves or battling an auto-bid). I've bought my last two cars at the Ellerslie Car fair and have been stoked with both of them. If you've just started the car hunt it's also a good way to gauge what is available in your price range. For both buyers and sellers I would recommend the Car Fair; it's for people that want action and can't be bothered stuffing around

Absolutely horrible experience and customer service!…read more We went to CMG and test drove three Volkwagens and all needed jump starts (which is ok seeing that these cars don't get driven much) and we got good service up to the point of us deciding to buy a 2009 VW Golf. Can't remember the name of the sales rep but he was nice and not pushy at all. But after purchasing my VW Golf I had several issues, such as: while picking up the car and arranging with Robbie to pick it up at 12:30pm, who then was not even on sight because he got himself lunch. And therefore made us wait so we were late for our work, knowing that this transaction was urgent was simply disappointing. Also, after 5 days the battery gave out, therefore I called Robbie to see whether they can pay for a new battery (Consumers Guarantees Act is the best base for this reasoning) or help facilitate any solutions for this issue but instead of offering help I got told that it must have been my fault because I must have had my car keys close to the car (wtf) or left the lights on over night (which I did not as my car lights are switched on "automatic" meaning it senses if the car needs lights on or off). So basically I got fed up that I did not get help so I drove to them and demanded for a new battery to be placed in my car. Even then I got looked at strangely and no one was offering help or any kind of apology. Until one CMG sales person called Robbie (who did not talk to us at all but went straight to the mechanic so he can deal with us instead). Unfortunately, even after getting a "new" battery fitted (couldn't tell if it was new as they drove it into the workshop) we got told that it had 0 CCA (cold cranking performance) meaning the starting power of the battery was gone and is close to failure as well. This is based on the AA Roadservice officer that I called for a jump start and battery test. Now I had to spend additional $327 for a PROPER battery to the already piling cost of $15k which includes the car and warranty. Additionally, the "new" replacement battery that was fitted in my Golf is not meant for a Golfs as it is under powered and made by Hyundai. The Hyuandai battery has 530CCA but a VW needs a battery with at least 740CCA. All in all guys be careful when you buy a car from City Motor Groups. The jingle might be catchy but the service was sketchy. Get your own AA inspection as these seem to be outdated!

Avoid Armstrong's Auckland - Dishonest Sales Tactics & Hidden Costs…read moreIf I could give zero stars, I would. My experience with this dealership has been a year-long nightmare. I purchased a brand new Leapmotor C10, and the lack of integrity from the sales team is staggering. First, I was gaslighted about basic accessories; the car was delivered without mats, and I was told they 'would come later'--I chased for months - they are very good at making excuses. I was only given one key, and the dealership acted like they were doing me a 'favour' by ordering a second one that should have been standard. Most shockingly, they charged me $499 + GST for a 'Wall Charger.' Every Leapmotor C10 comes with factory charging cables standard; I just noticed on an unsigned agreement they sent which means that - they essentially forced me to pay extra for equipment the car cannot function without. I brand new car had faulty battery and they took weeks to repair, then scratched my car and I had to fight so hard against gas lighting me that it again was my fault. Despite being promised a service plan at the time of sale, they are denying it exists and trying to charge me for my first annual service. Check your contracts carefully--or better yet, go to a dealer that values honesty. Terrible customer service and a complete lack of after-sales support. Do not buy from here.stay away.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! People only seem to write reviews for extreme service - well, these guys are…read moreextremely good! Firstly, my car is perfect - brought online/phone without a test drive, yet 100% what they said it was. But you care about the business: I'm only buying from them from now on because the prices are very fair, they are honest about the cars, and provide great service (including delivery anywhere in NZ!). I dealt with Dean mainly (also Richard) but the whole place is professional business - focused on high turnover and getting repeat customers. All/most cars are AA tested - better than any test drive, so far as I am concerned. Their starting prices are fair market rate and don't have hidden extras. I check NZ wide and their cars are around the same price as auction/private sales - plus you get consumer protection. They do knock the prices down further, but don't expect too much unless it hasn't sold for a while. The best thing was the service - it was just like a new car dealers - for example, Dean organised a towbar to be added (only $550 including the safety inspection) and delivery (Au to PN overnight for just $330!).
