Protect Yourself When Buying a Vehicle Privately

Hira Siddiqui from Citizens Advice Bureau Pakuranga/Eastern Manukau

If you buy a vehicle privately, you are not protected by the Consumer Guarantees Act or the Fair-Trading Act.

If you buy a vehicle privately, you are not protected by the Consumer Guarantees Act or the Fair-Trading Act.

👉Some simple things you can do to reduce your risk when you buy a used vehicle in a private sale are to check:
🚗whether the vehicle is subject to a safety related recall
🚗that the vehicle has a current Warrant of Fitness
🚗that the vehicle registration is up to date
🚗whether the vehicle is stolen or has any money owing on it

It’s also a good idea to get a thorough mechanical check of the vehicle. Most garages provide a pre-purchase inspection service.

For more details on how you can protect yourself as a consumer and reduce your risk as a private buyer, visit: cab.org.nz/article/KB00001527

After 50 years without a sighting, the rare and quirky sailback houndshark has finally been spotted again in Papua New Guinea!

Because it’s been seen so rarely, scientists still know very little about it. But its striking features are already sparking debate about whether it should be given special protection, and some have even argued it could become an icon species for Papua New Guinea.

At a time when we so often hear about species disappearing, the return of this little shark is a reminder that nature can surprise us ... and that there’s always reason to hope.

You can read more about the sailback shark here

We hope this brings a smile!

Thought you were past your prime to become a rockstar? Don't sell yourself - or your health - short.

Research published this year has demonstrated that playing music helps keep dementia at bay - no matter how late in life the skill is picked up.

The basic idea behind this research is not new - we know that 'cognitive reserve' (learning new things) plays a big role in delaying mental slowdown. But the reminder that "it is never too late" is welcome ...

We hope this news brings a smile!
