    Anyone bought from Turners?

    They look to have a bunch of decent cars for sale outside the usual auctions

    Nearly 3,000 used cars across NZ at Turners Cars. Over 1,000 used cars on sale at any time. | Turners

    Nearly 3,000 used cars across NZ at Turners Cars.  Over 1,000 used cars on sale at any time. | Turners

    Find a used car from a huge range of nearly 3,000 cars for sale. New Zealand's largest used car network.

    Bargains? Maybe but they are all in Palmy. Just not worth it.
    Oh - right. Sorry. Move along.

    Got to admit to having a laugh whenever I see a Pajero and thinking "Mitsubishi Piston Wristed Gibbon" would be one hell of a name for a car.

    I bought a car from them maybe 14 years ago, ex Ministry of something car, got a great deal and I gave it to my cousin when I moved to the West Island and she's still using it now.

    Looks alright. Wouldn’t pay advertised price though. Should be able to make a fair deal.

    For short term use 270k is fine. They will do 500k easy.

    I like those wagons and they are roomy enough for family

    That looks awesome. Not sure if it's worth going to the bloody Hutt for though!

    @voodoo you could combine it with a trip to EB to get some black pudding at the butcher and a feed of f&c's.

    We should close the Hutt off to foreigners anyway. Only 20 covid cases and all cleared. Would be easy to do. Only 4 roads and a ferry.

    I went to the Plaza in PN this avo. To be fair, they probably should have closed it off also, and maybe set fire to it.

    Happy to start with Plaza and go from there. The Esplanade still has value.

    Btw, in all seriousness , there is a restaurant here called Beijing Hotpot, and it is fucking outstanding. They do a shallow fried sliced chicken in spicy bean paste and a beef in mung bean spicy soup that are both outrageously good. In 2 weeks, we have ordered the same 2 dishes 3 times.

    It's a fair assertion, but the missus absolutely tops me on demand for spicy Asian food. Where I'm happy to mix it up with home cooked lamb shoulders and pork bellies, she would eat 100% Asian takeaway food everyday of the week!
