  30/08/2022 Tuesday Cruiseday. A new study is out to discover what turns people off and on when it comes to getting behind the wheel. https://www.stuff.co.nz/.../study-finds-bmw-drivers-are-icky Note: Autoport.nz is an equal opportunities car vendor who doesn't mind which car you drive! Study finds BMW drivers are 'icky' A new study from the UK has found that a BMW is the top brand for vehicle-related turn-offs. Scrap Car Comparison  talked to 2000 people to discover what turns them off and on when it comes to getting behind the wheel. BMW came out as the car brand that puts people off a potential partner the most, followed by Fiats and Skodas, while Mercedes proved the biggest turn-on. According to the study, 8% find the brand has stereotypes of dangerous and selfish driving, a turn-off. Fiat, Skoda and Smart all followed on 7%, while Audi, another German manufacturer stereotypically seen to be favoured by aggressive drivers, also featured in the top 10. Meanwhil...

  26/08/2022 Q. Is now a good time to buy a car? A. Probably? Lets work it out. Are prices good right now? 1) Car shortages means prices are still going up. 2) There are new Government fees coming in on 1 January 2023. 3) Inflation isn't finished yet. The answer is YES for at least 12 months. The good news is our exchange rate is holding up OK against the Japanese Yen (don't worry we manage that). What is good value? No extra charges! Traditional dealers charge extra for On Road Charges, 12 months warranty (MBI), 12 months rego, 12 months WOF and $100 fuel. We set up Autoport to give Kiwis a "no surprises" car buying experience. That is especially so with price. We'll let you know every single step of the way. Can I get a good deal on finance? We work with finance providers to get you the best deal. New lending rules have made finance difficult. As the OCR goes up, so do finance rates. N...

  05/07/2022 I like Lamborghini. I’ve been lucky enough to have driven a Gallardo (temperamental), a Murcielago (wants to kill you), a Huracan (great handling) and an Aventador (so fast), but not a Urus. I really like the look of the Urus. Must be a buzz to drive. Have you or do you know anyone who has? https://www.autoport.nz/.../lamborghini/urus/listing/550487 #replaceyourcar #newcar #autoport #onlinecarbuying #inbetweencar #nohasslecarbuying #moneybackguarantee #usedcars #usedcarsforsale #carfinance #tradein #carsforsale #signupandsave #kiwiowned #findmeacar #caranswers #certifiedusedcars #cartradein #carfinance #luxuryusedcars #safefamilycar #onlinecardealer #usedsuv #autoportcars #importcars #carsfromjapan #carsfromuk #carauction #carauctions #cars

  05/05/2022 BEV? HYBRID? PHEV? A Brief Explanation. A basic understanding (including clean car rebates). A BEV (Battery Electric Vehicle) must be charged to get from A to B. This can be done by plugging in to a standard wall plug at home (although that method may take quite a while) or with a fast-charger. A Hybrid vehicle has an electric motor plus a petrol or diesel engine. Fill up at a fuel station and the petrol or diesel engine charges the battery. When there's enough charge, the car runs off the electric motor. A PHEV vehicle (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle) has an electric motor plus a petrol or diesel engine. Fill up at a fuel station. To charge the battery, plug in like an EV. When it runs out of battery power it automatically switches to the petrol or diesel engine. Examples below. Prices include All ORCs, 12 months registration, 12 months WOF, 12 months warranty (MBI) & $100 fuel. Cars under $50k come ...
