J McK had take us on Friday afternoon to look at some cars but we set out to Hamilton on Saturday to tour the car lots and find our new car. The Ford garage had a good selection of 1 year old hire cars. We picked a gold Mondeo with 32k kilometers on the clock and seemed to be running well.
The insurance was sorted out with a phonecall to the NZ AA.
Our money was not yet in our NZ bank account but the car dealer took us on trust and let us drive off without paying! We had the car a week before the money actually got into the account and we were able to pay. I could not see any large car dealer in the UK being so generous!!!!
So we were mobile on day 2 and getting our first steps towards independence and the start of a search for our new home.
