Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:07):
You're listening to the Marcus lush Night's podcast from News Talks.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
I'd be.

Speaker 3 (00:16):
Eight o seven greetings, good evening. What do you think
the first complaint will get about Coldplay will be when
the people leave the concert tonight at ten? Will they
be complaining about the trains not arriving, or that their
cars have been towed, all that it was too loud,
all that it was too quiet, all that the people

(00:40):
in front of them were dancing. That's where it's a
great one for the concerts, when appearing to the fifties
up the ground that people dance and they can't see.
I'm sure that's going to be it. Sit down, sit down,
that's probably what it'll be. I don't know if it's
seated or standing or quite what happens on the flat
of there. This is a cold play that Eden park tonight.

(01:01):
There'll be three nights they have tomorrow off. They've got
a yhiki I suppose to a vineyard. It's what they
see to do on those sorts of places. But anyway,
this is coldplay. If you got involved with the traffic
going there was a smooth What do you think the
first thing they'll complain about will be, I reckon it
will be that people were dancing in front of them,
that they weren't sitting down. We're in the marcus, we're
in the seated stands. We hardly ever go to a concert.

(01:23):
I said to Belle, I said, let's go. We'll fly
from christ Church. We'll make a week end of it.
We don't have a lot of money, but we did
what we could. We've bought tickets, we sold some shares
and the power companies we brought tickets and we're really
looking forward to what we got there. And straight away
they came on and the people in front of us
were standing and we couldn't see anything, and we can't

(01:44):
stand up because we don't feel good in that way?

Speaker 2 (01:48):
Is there?

Speaker 3 (01:49):
You think what's going to be about? By the way,
the song yellow was originally called yellow Pages. Not many
people know that. In fact I didn't know then about
two minutes ago. But anyway, what do you think they'll
be complaining about after the concert? Normally it's about the trains,
or their cars have been towed, or traffic's gridlocked, or
the concert's too loud. I don't think they'll be complaining

(02:11):
about people fighting in front of them, like in Travis
because they probably won't be doing that unless they're fighting
about people dancing in front of them. Anyway, if you
think you know what they'll be complainingbout let us know.
Oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty nine to nine
two to text. Yeah, get in touch Marcus till twelve.
Looking forward to hearing from the other stuff. And there's

(02:33):
a lot. We're off here tonight, yay, not straight away,
tonight and tomorrow night off here between midnight and five
and Southland on eight four six am. I would tell
you to go to FM, but we haven't got one,
so just be aware of that. So you got to

(02:55):
iHeart or I hag, I call it if you want
to do that. So that's that. So we're off here.
Also tonight we've got cricket that starts. I'll keep you
up to date with the one day match srilangivest the
black Caps that kicks off ten pm tonight. I will
keep you update with that. It is roast dinner Day
comes around from time to time. I see there's a

(03:17):
takeaway in Scotland that will totally deep fry your Christmas roast.
I thought that was a good idea fifteen pounds. I
thought it seemed quite reasonable because it's winter at Christmas there,
so you kind of want the fat in the middle
of the Anyway, eight hundred and eighty eight Taty had
nineteen nine two to text two Marcus till twelve This

(03:39):
Day and in History nineteen ninety was that terrible situation
at Aramauana. From a broadcasting point of view, I was
on are that night, and it was surprising because right
throughout the night, Yeah, there was not much knowledge of

(04:04):
what has gone on until the morning that things had
become apparent. I remember that quite clear. That was thirty
four years ago. So anyway, there's that also. But oh,
eight hundred and eighty said, if you've got any talk
about the traffic as far as Coldplay goes or anything
about that, do let me know. Be good to hear
from you. Keep those texts coming through, as I say,
wellk you, I'm updated with cricket and that'll be from

(04:26):
ten o'clock tonight. You won't miss out anything if you're
at work or doing whatever. Marcus went to Shania Twain
with a girlfriend at Spark Arena. We're really thirty's got
it a dance to man, I feel like a woman
only song. We got up to have a real Goez

(04:47):
was being respectful to the always find us. The sixty
up behind us threw a drink on us and got
kicked out. Wow, Marcus. I think they'll be complained about
the sound system, Christine Marcus. If you want to sit down,
you should go to the movies. Nick. Yes, but I
understand these people. If you're on the flat at a
rugby stadium and people are dancing in front of you

(05:08):
and you don't want to stand up yourself, it becomes problematic.
I don't like the stress of concerts, these big stadium ones,
Marcus might be as I'll complain about the queue for
the women's toilets. Yeah, fair cool. Oh they'll also complain
about they couldn't get something into the stadium, an umbrella

(05:28):
or their diet coke or a chicken kebab or something
that often happens. People complain about that as well. But yes,
the tear of concerts. You go and then of course
what happens is you sit down in your seat and
then someone else is in your seat and such a drama.
So only once a band comes on you think you
can relax anyway, if you want to talk about what

(05:51):
you think they'll be complaining about. At ten o'clock. That's
when they get let out. Let me know. In the meantime,
get in touch. Someone thinks the crowd of we can
plain about how boring they are. Well the hour of it,
say me saying people like that same he say me
the thing about coldplay. They kind of read the mood perfectly.

(06:13):
People want samey, say me. They don't want that anyway.
The other thing too, we talked about last night. Here's
a question too. I want to breach this topic open
a bit more right. We've never talked about this before,
not entirely sure how to phrase the topic? What's the
key to buying a second hand car? Like they reckon?

(06:37):
If you're in because an in the cargo, A lot
of people go to christ Juts to buy their second
hand car. They get them on trade Mere. They're always
flying up to pick them up or getting driven up.
So if you're in the second hand car market using
trade me or something like that, where are the second
hand cars the cheapest or where's the key place to
going to get a second car? Because I'll tell you

(06:59):
the other thing too. If people in an invY Cargo
or Bluff want to sell their cars, they drive them
to Queen Town and sell them on the side of
the road because people think they'll be good cars because
they've been so far away from the sea. There's all
sorts of tricks with selling used cars, and there's good
towns and there's bad towns. So I won't know from

(07:21):
you what you think is the key to selling a
secondhand car. We've sold a couple. It's always been trade me.
We've sold a car and they've brought the car back
that we've sold it again. One of the great things
you can ever do is buy your old car back
because you know it and the person you'll have sold
it to will have put a new sound system and
stuff like that. It's exciting. Ah, I remember like manual.

(07:44):
Of course, you've change gears and snugs into new gear.
Gently beautiful Marcus. Pe'lll be asking where's the roof. It's raining,
drizzling all contact. Oh, there will be. They wouldn't let
me take in the umbrella, That's what they'll be saying about.
We've got soaked walking to the train. The train didn't arrive.
We queued too long for the women's toilets. The people

(08:05):
in front of us dance. The whole way in big
sombreros is that the hat, the hats, the sombrero is
poncho and ponchos on sombreros getting touched. You on to
start the whole malarkey tonight. My name is Marcus welcome
hereill twelve who I would imagine that pretty well the

(08:32):
entire staff of ZB will be there at Cold Plate
tonight from Barry Soapound. Even someone's text me even say
it said to me that romances going so yes, we
know storage of people are pining about it because it's
kind of appeals to them anyway. Selling a used car

(08:52):
the keys to it. I'm not talking about putting the
stocking in the muffler, or the banana and the diff
or the egg and the radiator. But where's the place
to do it. There must be towns where it's not
good to sell a car in towns where it is
good to sell a car. So if you're going to
sell it, you can't up the way to sell it

(09:13):
because they go for more all these tricks. Get in touch.
By name is Marcus welcome head on midnight complaints What
will there be the complaints after our coldplay, And where
do you go to sell a car and using and
what's the key to do it? Because the car fees
are no longer. I don't even know if you can
sell cars on marketplace too scared to look. Well, I'm

(09:38):
not in the market for a car, but yes the keys,
A lot of you will be selling it on the
selling car used cars on the sly. You've got to
be careful because how many you can sell yourself? Too
many years you treat it as a dealer. You got
to pay text or something. I know about that. I've
known car dealers. You're an interesting breed, particularly those ones
that sell cars from home. And what sort of breed

(10:01):
are they? Well, they get hooked on it. They're away
telling you how many cars if sold for the month.
But get in touch? By name is Marcus good? Good?
Start to quick start? Is that what I say? Oh,
you can buy cars on marketplace cash only, though I
reckon we want to cancel the payment, not get it.

(10:21):
Oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty get in touch
selling cars and us in the key to it? And
what are they complaining about? After coldplay? I've got no
idea tell you what I'm always amazed how far people
fly around the country for concerts these days. Every time

(10:44):
there's a concert on, I'll always see a lot of
Facebook friends from South and they've gone to them. People
spend a fortunate on that sort of experiential stuff these days.
Ben Ats Marcus, welcome, thanks for calling. Good evening.

Speaker 4 (10:56):
Yeah, thank you. So I've been a car dealer, no
longer a car dealer in a provincial city, and had
an interest in cars all my life. And without a doubt,
if you just want the cheapest second hand car available
ither ten to twenty thousand dollars, mark it's where the

(11:18):
competition is, which is the big city. Without a doubt, Well, okay,
they're prepared to take much lower margins. So where I
was on a car twelve to thirteen thousand dollars, I
was making a three thousand dollar margin in the nearest
big city, they'd be happy if they made a thousand

(11:39):
dollar margin.

Speaker 3 (11:42):
Okay, So you're telling me, if you're in a provincial town,
you go to a big city, that car should be
two thousand cheaper.

Speaker 4 (11:49):
But potentially like for like, and that's a big thing,
like for light, you know, it's got to be exactly
the same car, But that was my experience some years ago.
If you're in a provincial city, it's like anything. If
you go to the dairy, the can of coat might
be four dollars and if you go to the market

(12:11):
it might be a dollar. But those people are lazy
and don't want to travel one hundred k's or whatever
down the road to the big city. Or they have
been quite rightly. So the buying off someone that they
know is local to them, that's worth something, so they'll pay.

Speaker 3 (12:33):
More, okay. So they're also saying that the dealers in
the smaller towns are making much more commission three grand
versus one grand, and they're happy with that and that
works for them.

Speaker 4 (12:46):
Well, it's not commission, it's margin on let's overall margin.

Speaker 2 (12:51):
On the car.

Speaker 4 (12:51):
But they're not selling as many units either.

Speaker 3 (12:55):
Okay, But their costs would be a lot more in
the big city, wouldn't they.

Speaker 4 (13:00):
Yeah, but they're doing higher volumes.

Speaker 3 (13:05):
What about if you buy going off trade meal marketplace.
Are the provincial areas more expensive?

Speaker 4 (13:14):
No, you know, I can't really speak for that, okay,
or if you're going to a dealer, I just know
that my experience was and this is only three or
four years ago. But if you're buying in a provincial town,
you're going to pay more. And what I was selling
was product between five and twenty thousand dollars and people

(13:38):
seem to be happy.

Speaker 3 (13:39):
Nice to hear from your ben. Thanks so much for
a twenty four past day selling cars. And the key
to it is in and where would you go small town's,
big towns online versus car dealers? And where are the
margins in that one? You might do it for a
living or might be your paid hobby. Be curious? Did
I always find this quite fascinating? Marcus? If I remember correctly,

(14:02):
you sold a Corolla and brought it back awesome. I
didn't sell a Corolla, Marcus. Are you just bought a
used car two weeks ago? Used trade me to do
the research, found what I wanted at the dealers, and
Timid who drove up trading my CLIANKT drove down and
new to me cars seamless. Thank you, turners cars brilliant

(14:28):
because his auctions as.

Speaker 5 (14:29):
Well a.

Speaker 3 (14:33):
I'm not really a car buyer, just foy Trevor, Marcus,
welcome and Margan, how are you good? Thank you Trevor?

Speaker 6 (14:41):
Good you look I'm not just too sure now about
you know, trade me in that. But I know for many,
many years the general thing is Willington here people would
quite often go to Auckland to get a cheaper car.
We it was weird, but you know sometimes it's too
would have been like just spending, but it was always

(15:01):
you know, it was always acting money, always cheaper. And
I think it's a volume and I think a lot
of your listeners from Wellingdon well you know saying in
a general comment, a lot of people they're looking for
a car, maybe these a you one, but in the
second hand range now there are for a sort of
not maybe a specific car, but buy anything similar. And

(15:25):
know it was just very very common for Valentonia to
go up to Auckland as simple.

Speaker 3 (15:31):
As it's not much flet land for car yards in
Wellington because you don't see many lying around, do you no.

Speaker 7 (15:36):
What you do?

Speaker 6 (15:37):
There's a couple of real central places is of course
we've got Kent Terrace and Cambridge Terraces that runs up
from Corny Place. Yeah, there's a lot there and out
the heart now there's more and more. There's a little
little big street called Railway Avenue and High Street and
there's a lot of cay yards there. But yeah, no, no,
I think you'll find most people will say you're just

(15:58):
from Walentonian's point of view. You'll get a better deal
in Auckland, and it's worthwhile going up, flying up, getting
the car, or driving up and picking the car. You know,
some people, one thousand dollars is a good saving.

Speaker 3 (16:12):
Oh yeah, and you could probably get the flight up
for a hundred petrol for a hundrey coming down, get
some snacks on the way at Mecca's. You're two fifty
done and dusted, your saves even fifty head of bit
of adventure.

Speaker 6 (16:23):
Yeah. I just think it's demand really just up there.
I mean there's a million people, over a million people
in Auckland now, so more cars, more priority people want
to move it. So yeah, I'm still pretty sure. Even
though we've got trading me now online, I don't really
do that, but I'm pretty sure that a lot of
Wellingtonians will go to Auckland to get just a bitter
deal on a vehicle. When they want to buy a vehicle.

Speaker 3 (16:45):
Do they pre shop or do they just go and
go down Great South Yeah, Great South right and go
to the car dealers.

Speaker 6 (16:51):
Well from what I know, a lot of people do
pre shop. You know, there's a lot of second hand
dealers up there, and of course new cars. And when
I just went up there and take their grand somewhere
around and some of the bloody people have seven hundred
thousand dollars car, it's tix hundred thousand a car.

Speaker 3 (17:06):
I hope they wouldn't.

Speaker 6 (17:08):
Yeah, and it's full of people, you know, looking at them,
probably not buying them. But I just thing is demand mate,
And as I say, a lot of people would go out,
fly up, get somebody to drive them up, drive the
car back, have a night in Tawbou like we do,
you know, get the hot pools there and they've saved
themselves one thousand or two thousand dollars.

Speaker 2 (17:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (17:29):
Can that make sense to me? Okay?

Speaker 5 (17:31):
True?

Speaker 6 (17:31):
And I suppose it's some of the room of the
craze go to Japan. Then when start at the come
to New Zealand. I know a lot of people could
go to Japan for a bit of a holiday, get
the car brought back and at the holiday and the
car Japanese imports. The car and the holiday would be

(17:52):
the same price as buying a various Sumi the car
in New Zealands here that I think that could be
over now, I'm not too sure, but I know it
was a big thing years ago.

Speaker 3 (18:00):
I knew that, like Japanese imports, are that people going
over to get them themselves.

Speaker 6 (18:04):
Yeah, they are, that's right, and they get a holiday
out of it. They spend the same money, they get
a holiday out of it. I don't know whether it's
like that now, but it was very common fifteen or
twenty years ago. You came for a holiday, you haven't
looked around Japan, buy your car, get a transporter back here,
and it didn't cost you any more than buying the
same car in New Zealand. So yeah, I think there
are lots of options of buying a car.

Speaker 3 (18:25):
Did you buy your car in Auckland?

Speaker 6 (18:28):
No, I don't do that. I'm not really into I'm
good with money, Marcus. But I do know when I'm
an Auckland and you drive around as I fat you
old grenthone around it, the range is just phenomenal.

Speaker 3 (18:40):
Next to each other, don't you you know? People coming
out can I there and the.

Speaker 6 (18:44):
One hundred thousand dollars car the hand of them on
one lot. It's fine block. So I think it's a
demand mate, more people, more cars.

Speaker 3 (18:52):
I like how you say you're not good at money,
like it's sitting stone. You're not about to change, are you?

Speaker 8 (18:57):
No?

Speaker 9 (18:57):
Not of my age made.

Speaker 6 (18:59):
It's probably a little bit of a good of my life.
But you know the old Ben's in has are saying
be good with money, and they were. Is that that
mess just didn't get on my head.

Speaker 3 (19:09):
Nasty hear from your Trevor, Thanks so much for that. Oh,
buying cars and where you go to buy them, I'm
very curious about. I like people's adventures. They go and
buy cars. They're on the they're on the plane, they're
up to meet the car yards. Ye, because people do travel,
so one thing people seem to trail. Oh, yeah, we're
going to go up to christ Church to buy a car.
Happens often and they meet one diner. They'll go back, like,

(19:31):
I see the same guy next time. Oh we're going
back to the old Reggie. He's got a great one
for us. We're Japanese imports on Arthur van Tiel, he
was big on Z'd be there for a long time.
One I remember him. There'll be towns that are good
to buy cars. And towns are bad to buy cars
and also be places I'm sure on trade me which

(19:51):
are kind of seen as good places to buy cars
because they're inland and away from the sould.

Speaker 7 (19:56):
Is that right?

Speaker 3 (19:58):
Do people go to cent flow Target to buy cars?
Think about card deiners and buying cars not a superstition,
A lot of misty, a lot of folklore. I'm into that.
Ross Marcus welcome.

Speaker 10 (20:11):
Yeah, good evening. Marcus daughter lives in Auckland. She was
living in Henderson and she was actually visiting appearance here
in Christchurch and got a phone call from the partner
to say, oh, someone had just written their car offside
what so sirans came out and read it off as

(20:32):
we met to Demono demo. So I says, oh, thank
you enother DeMeo. They've got a low crash rating on them.

Speaker 11 (20:39):
Go to a Toyota roller they'll be better.

Speaker 10 (20:43):
So for searching up for and I says a lot
that one that's atween seventeen one hundred and seventy five,
ten and two hundred. I think it was ten thousand
and five hundred. She went back from says I'll give
you ten to three and they says, yet we'll take it.
I think one of the if you've actually noticed when
you fly and talk and you just come out of

(21:04):
the airport and you look out to the right days
that Apex car car rentals and it's just massive spout,
ten cons as big as the one here in christ Church.
I think that's one of the main reasons why the
biggest centers have got cheaper cars, because the rental cars
are a good car to bike because are normally maintained

(21:24):
well and really good point yeah, and they have a
a good tune over as well. Of course, world regulations
of hiring vehicles are quite strict, as you know if
you behave But ye with.

Speaker 3 (21:44):
Your daughter, was that car you said she was in
christ Church? Was the car and christ Judge or Auckland.

Speaker 10 (21:49):
No, the car was an Orbland. So but she shifted
out of the sunset. She lives in Messy now, the
other side of reast Aubland. But yeah, so I said,
you know, and to be honest, I look, she's seen
coders to me and that and he seen troders to
me and it didn't look that. But I think these

(22:12):
days what they do is I've heard of insurance companies
writing motorcycle where the fall nod will stand and broken,
the fearing have gone right, We're just going to write
it off because with a car, I guess too, if
it's had slight front damage and it's there's still the
way they're built nowadays quite you know, they are that

(22:34):
well built.

Speaker 3 (22:37):
They they you have to say if it's an EX rental,
because some people don't like X rentals because they think
people drive X rentals in a different way because you
know that's that old same drive you're like you rented.
But it's interesting you think they're probably a good car
because they're well maintain. They're always quite new, aren't they.

Speaker 10 (22:53):
Yeah, I don't think it's like that because if you're
in a rental, I mean, there's nothing wrong with scaring
fast in the car, right, So that's not I mean
there is, but there isn't if you know what I mean.
Understand you know, if you've got manson to changing oil
every five thousand k's, you're using a good quality oil.
You know you're using a semisynthetic. You don't, you don't

(23:15):
necessary it doesn't you know it's worse for a motor
if you make it labor not enough upper hell opposed
to I've tout it down a couple of gears and
floor it. You're better off to live it. Really give
it the roby. That's what they're designed for. You know.
They've got gearboxes are designed to be more in tow

(23:36):
with the engine speed and so on. So you've got
the CTV gearboxes, concurrent variable transmission. They are very good
gearbox ratio wise compared to a motor. So you could
ever one of those gearboxes on a thousand cc motor.
But they're very talking that are good low in good
high end that they're just they're just fabulous. So there's

(23:58):
no there's no issue here. The issue is is a
few get caught, and you're an overseas person, you'll probably
get the car taken off you. Yeah, well it is
really funny because it's danger if you're doing that on
other road users.

Speaker 3 (24:12):
But yeah, well keep talking Ross. But I like what
you say about car car renders. You might be right
that because have be enough cars and orpen rental cars
and to flood the market. It's a very good point.
Might make it all more. It might mean the three
grand cheaper up there. Keep in touch if you want
to talk. Marcus till twelve. Jennis, welcome.

Speaker 9 (24:30):
Hi.

Speaker 12 (25:41):
Okay, well can you hear the crowd then? Yeah? It's
quite neat.

Speaker 3 (25:47):
Well, isn't there?

Speaker 12 (25:48):
I went up to the I went through my block
and went up to walked up to New North Road.
It would be louder, because the further I get, the
louder it would be in New North Road up towards
Morning Side.

Speaker 3 (25:59):
Yeah okay, yeah, no, no, no, I'm parked near your house.
Did not park that far.

Speaker 12 (26:04):
It's just no just ordinary people hear the tenants and that. Yeah,
very quiet. It's called the quiet place. I call it
the quiet place.

Speaker 3 (26:12):
Nice to hear, Jennis, thank you. Just by the way.
I do think the media have given up. I mean,
if that elephant was going to Australia thirty years ago, homes,
he would have been in the plane with that elephant
and did the full piece to camera through the streets
of Adelaide. There's no reporters there. The elephants left the
room and no one's following it. Why Why isn't seven

(26:35):
sharp and the elephant in the damn plane with the elephant?
What's going to happen?

Speaker 13 (26:40):
Now?

Speaker 3 (26:41):
What's the elephant thinking? What's happening? For it anyway, great
texts coming through. I'll get to those. Eight one hundred
and eighty ten eighty Matthew Marcus, Welcome.

Speaker 14 (26:51):
Oday, Marcus. I just had good fortune of tuning in
when Trevor that was a good call about the calves
traveling up.

Speaker 3 (27:01):
Hang on, did Trevor say, Did I get this right?
Did Trevor say give it the rasp.

Speaker 14 (27:08):
I didn't hear that, but yeah.

Speaker 3 (27:09):
I think he said give it the raspberry.

Speaker 2 (27:11):
Do what that means?

Speaker 4 (27:13):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (27:13):
Yeah, yeah, what does it mean?

Speaker 3 (27:15):
Give it?

Speaker 14 (27:15):
What did he say that about?

Speaker 3 (27:18):
Oh, with cars you can get, it's good to give
them the raspberry.

Speaker 14 (27:22):
Oh yeah, that well, that's walk away power, the strongest
power anyone has in a negotiation.

Speaker 3 (27:27):
Oh okay, well okay.

Speaker 14 (27:29):
Was that the reference?

Speaker 3 (27:31):
Well, I thought give it the raspberry meant you're like
you put your foot down.

Speaker 14 (27:34):
Oh right, Oh yeah, okay, he.

Speaker 3 (27:39):
Might have missed his mixed as metaphors. What were you
going to say?

Speaker 14 (27:44):
Well, it just made me think I had a good
car guy and towering before we can just can be
talking about it, and he he saved me from myself
because I had this really stupid idea. I must have
seen one on the Internet to buy a corvette, and

(28:04):
I thought, you know, and cool, and I had a
look at a couple in town. I don't know what
I was thinking. And as soon as I found out
there freaking fiberglass, that was it. So I went into
Tony is is good dealer in town, and Tony Hammond
and I knew his brother. So I went in and
I had a cup of coffee and a set in
a car warehouse. I just spied this little these VMW

(28:28):
one one suss and me all over ooks and he said, yeah, yeah,
you don't want.

Speaker 15 (28:32):
One of those?

Speaker 14 (28:33):
You want? And I thought, I said how much are they?

Speaker 9 (28:36):
And I'm not.

Speaker 14 (28:38):
Really a car guy, I'm the cast and you know
they're twelve thousand dollars for its little of the MWS
just heaps them around now, and so I grabbed one
of those. I got one of those because I wanted
something for myself. I've been working working on the backside,
so got one. And he the point is a good

(28:58):
So I'm a sales professional. So a good sales professional
like that can save you from yourself. They're worthy weight old.
Because he saved me a lot of stupidity, saved me
from myself. So he got me teed up and I
liked it so much, and I had Good Year two

(29:18):
I bought. I went back on Friday and I bought
a little white one for my wife. They're cheaper than
Japanese toyoda, isn't that?

Speaker 6 (29:27):
It's not.

Speaker 3 (29:27):
I've never heard any ever have to talk back and
say the car did to save me from myself? Why
do you want to buy a corvee?

Speaker 14 (29:34):
Because I'm it was a stupid idiotic idea.

Speaker 3 (29:37):
Yeah, but what was it like? Was it like a
mid midlife fantasy or something?

Speaker 14 (29:45):
Yep, exactly that sort of thing. And Tony I was
sitting in there having a coffee with him at the back,
and I just saw this little thing. I said, how
much are they?

Speaker 9 (29:56):
And he said, that is.

Speaker 14 (29:57):
What you want? One of those, not those big things.
He said, these little things try fine, he said, those
American things there, they look all right, but the heavy
on the road. And I was already out of that idea,
because as soon as I found out there well fit
to fiberglass, I couldn't believe it. How could you spend
thirty grand on a five?

Speaker 3 (30:17):
Oh you're about to.

Speaker 15 (30:19):
Well?

Speaker 14 (30:20):
I was looking at them, but my wife would have
broke me in.

Speaker 3 (30:24):
Probably, And now your wife's got the beaner.

Speaker 15 (30:27):
She got a little one.

Speaker 2 (30:29):
She she.

Speaker 14 (30:31):
Yeah, yeah, she like, yeah, they're right.

Speaker 16 (30:35):
But there's super good.

Speaker 14 (30:37):
Around town and parking and that little ones. But that's
Tony Hammond Motives.

Speaker 3 (30:43):
I do this three times. That's extraordinary. You've seen his
name three times?

Speaker 16 (30:50):
What did I say three times?

Speaker 3 (30:51):
Tony Hammond?

Speaker 14 (30:53):
Oh sorry, I'm sorry. I don't know as I eight
hundred numbers?

Speaker 3 (31:00):
Did you not see that?

Speaker 9 (31:02):
That's I can find.

Speaker 14 (31:04):
I can find professional. A good sales professional can save
you a lot of money in trouble.

Speaker 3 (31:10):
Sounds like you might be Tony Hammond. No, No, he's
got a big shop, old Tony Hammond. Th hm, Tony
Hammond Motors.

Speaker 14 (31:22):
Yeah they were right, but yeah, that's yeah. Yeah, you
like when you said, man, I remember those heads. He
was out in New Arthur.

Speaker 3 (31:33):
Van Til there's a coaster. There's a host of that
afternoons or did nights and then afternoons on dead be
called Chris Carter and Arthur Van Til was the first
guy bringing the Japanese imports across and him and Chris
Carter had a great relationship and he was selling Arthur
van Teyl was selling cars to everyone. It did be.

Speaker 15 (31:50):
That'd be right.

Speaker 3 (31:53):
Motors Arthur between him and well, yeah, I could almost
remember the commercial. If you give me enough time, I'll
remember what it where he was. I could even remember
the ad in the jingle, Arthur van till a honest
as the day is long, the.

Speaker 14 (32:08):
Robbed your mind.

Speaker 3 (32:10):
The boss has just texted they've just started Yellow. They're
playing their hits early. Is it when they release the balloons?

Speaker 2 (32:16):
Dan?

Speaker 3 (32:19):
Yeah, well they just started playing Yellow now are the
balloons will be going out now just on dusk? So
here come the balloons when they're all yellow. Don't know
much about the song. What's the background of the song anyway,
that's the situation because they've got to finish it in
an hour, because what will happen is the residents. You've
got to be cleared out of there. Cold play on

(32:42):
at the moment for those that want to know, that's
what's happening. They're playing Yellow Winds from the Northeast, inspired
to ride it during a sunlit night, moonlight night, Unrequited
Love you Go, that's what they're playing currently. It's all

(33:13):
happening now, but a lot of people have their cars
towed away because I've been parking over driveways for goodness sake,
Wayne Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 17 (33:26):
Yeah, good evening, Marcus. Hey, here's a little bit of
a might be the tip of the night for you.
Trade me have a really good valuing tool and so
if you're looking at a vehicle, you can put in
the license plate, put in the kilometers that it's done,
and it will give you a range of values that
they're similar vehicles have sold through their website.

Speaker 7 (33:48):
For it's really good.

Speaker 3 (33:50):
I fantastic.

Speaker 17 (33:51):
But also if you're buying, you can go and double check,
or you can check.

Speaker 7 (33:55):
Your own cars value.

Speaker 17 (33:57):
My brother was selling his red I was buying a
new car. They offered him three grand for a trade in.
I did a valuing tool, saw it was worth up
to twelve often the five and sold.

Speaker 7 (34:07):
It for ten.

Speaker 3 (34:09):
Wow, you made Who was that?

Speaker 7 (34:15):
I did that?

Speaker 17 (34:16):
I bought off my brother for five, so he got
more than.

Speaker 3 (34:19):
You made five? You made five? Brand off your brother.

Speaker 17 (34:24):
Absolutely win one. We're a very win one family.

Speaker 3 (34:29):
You sounded it? Yeah, I know he made two. When
is that free?

Speaker 2 (34:35):
Yes?

Speaker 7 (34:36):
Free?

Speaker 17 (34:36):
So you just go on and it's designed more if
you're selling your car. Okay, but obviously you can do.
You can put any license plate number and and it'll
give you a low rate, a mid rate, and a
high rate, so you'll you'll know the condition of your
car and to.

Speaker 3 (34:49):
Ensure it's not conditional you're listening and trade me. Anyone
can access that.

Speaker 17 (34:55):
Okay, you do it before you even say I want
to sell my car. So that's just at all you can.

Speaker 3 (35:02):
You can pick up, pull out your wallet, phone on
the car yard and negotiations say hang it out. They
say this is worth between six and nine.

Speaker 17 (35:10):
And you're trying to get you're trying to get fourteen
from me. Obviously you pay.

Speaker 7 (35:13):
A little bit more at a dealer.

Speaker 15 (35:15):
We all know that.

Speaker 7 (35:16):
Yes, that's a tip of the night, I believe.

Speaker 3 (35:18):
Oh it's a tip of the night.

Speaker 7 (35:19):
Way.

Speaker 3 (35:20):
How long has that been around?

Speaker 17 (35:23):
Well, I've used it three times now and I think
it's it's they've developed the website. I think it's just
something they've they've sort of added to it.

Speaker 3 (35:33):
But it must all be on government software anyway. If
you just put your registration and there must be stuff
that you can get. I'm not saying that.

Speaker 17 (35:40):
It's public, it's all. It's all just existing public info.
The good thing is though, if you go to your car,
you don't have to type all the details.

Speaker 7 (35:48):
Of your car. And because it all self populates, so.

Speaker 3 (35:52):
Then it means that when you're buying cars on trade me,
if you're doing that, there's probably for a little room
for move because it's all pretty. It's all pretty, just straightforward,
it's a good condition. It goes for that much.

Speaker 17 (36:00):
Ah well, yeah, and by putting the kilometers and you're
also comparing light for likes of you know, so you
can check your own cars details and see what.

Speaker 6 (36:12):
It's with.

Speaker 3 (36:14):
Making five grand off your brother.

Speaker 7 (36:17):
That's before text.

Speaker 3 (36:24):
Oh anyway, it's all about selling cars tonight. The keys,
the pitfalls, the where's and wi FLEs for buying second
end cars. Where's the best place to go to buy them?
Where do you go? What's the best way to do it?

(36:44):
How much rigorum? How much negotiation I've got at your car?
Can you talk them down three grand? You might be
a car seller. You might be someone that does the
backyard jobs on the slide, makes good coin. What's your
keys to all of that? It's good. It's a good
part of the ki we life is selling cars. Of course,
once upon a time we do it all at the
car firs. Then it's gone online with your trade me

(37:07):
in your marketplace. But yeah, any of these discussions I
find fascinating. I've had some good mates that were car dealers.
They're always characters. One guy explained to me with great DearS,
if you're selling a car, right and someone will come
along to look at it, but they'll always bring a

(37:28):
mate or their boyfriend or the boyfriend's brother that's a
mechanic or someone to look at the car. And if
you're the car dealer, what the key what your key
to the sailors is to make the person that they've
brought along feel empowered. So if such and touch is

(37:53):
coming along to buy a car and they've got the
boyfriend's brother, they brought him along to have a look
under the hood, and he says, oh, yeah, it looks
like it might be the radiator hose might need replacing,
And you go, oh, you're well gee, well spotted. Yeah,
jeepest creepers. We'll take that shop and fix that right away.
You've got the sale. The client feels good, and the
boyfriend's brother feels good because he feels like the hero

(38:14):
of the situation. You got a sale. It's the whole
key to it, win one one. Everyone wins then because
they've brought the car. The dealer fails, okay, but more importantly,
they feel the whole situation was right to bring the
boyfriend's brother because he's been the hero. He spotted the
loose radiator hoes. Yeah, the psychologists suck. Never in my
what never ever could I work in sales. It would

(38:37):
terrify me by like the psychology of it. Of course,
the other thing if you're selling the car is that
you say hang about. The number one sales technique is
you make out that it's you get them interested, and
then make out it's no longer available. They call that
the oldest trick.

Speaker 2 (38:56):
In the book.

Speaker 3 (38:58):
So I think the way it works is that someone
comes along to the car lot to buy a car,
and they bring the boyfriend along or the boyfriend's brother along. Well,
that's actually sounds like a bit of sexist analogy that one,
doesn't it. He says, Oh, well, the radio hoses are wrong.
And then they're decided they think they might buy the car,
and then you say, well hang about. You might have

(39:19):
to make up your mind quite quickly, because I've just
heard from the office that someone else is putting offering
on this and say, oh, I hang about. Then suddenly
it's all serious because the car that you've decided that
you're going to buy may no longer be available, and
that all kicks on. That's what we are talking about tonight,
buying and selling secondhand cars. But more importantly, where do
you go to do it? In fact, there's some great

(39:41):
questions about all of this, Marcus. I live in Parmeston,
North I buy my cars in Auckland, more choice and cheaper.
Good holiday. I got it in the cargo for car,
A real banger stolen. All of my Tea Ferguson tractors
six have been brought on trade. Me never had a failure, Marcus.

(40:05):
Coldplayers going off like an for over ten k's away.
Cheers m Marcus. Is it true that making cash offers
for used cars is no longer good for the buyer
because dealers want to make money on finance deals. I
imagine that would be the case. I imagine there's probably some

(40:25):
gain for them if there is a finance deal, So
you're probably right, Marcus. Dub dubdub dot autoport dot in
z A new way to buy slip from cars currently
for sale in Japan and the UK with drive away
in Z prices thirty thousand plus to choose from Northwest Wind.

(40:49):
Oh yes, Marcus. Those poor people having to listen with
an airshot of cold puke three nights in a row
would bring back lockdown emotions. Steve of christ Church Marcus,
I just used a tool to value my car and
was prompted to pay fourteen dollars for the report. There
are no values listed until you pay. Looks like a
great tool, but it's not free. Worked for Dan when

(41:14):
he played it worth selling Dan? He says no because
he would never car. Or why are you going on
the thing? You know? Marcus. Billy b had wonderful advice
about buying a second hand car on YouTube or Billy

(41:37):
t Christine. Sign of the aging population was seeing a
line of secondhand mobility scooters for selling there Sydney. If
you want to talk, we talk about selling cars, trade
me marketplace. Where do you go to you drive them somewhere?

Speaker 7 (41:48):
Else?

Speaker 3 (41:49):
Do you get your cousins Inland to sell them? Because
they're dryer? Marcus? That is called the takeaway technique. The
buyer thinks he might lose it. Gary Classic that one
the takeaway technique, offer it to them and say, hang
about no longer reillable, Marcus over car dealer mate, And
it's amazing how many people take a car for a

(42:11):
test drive and come back and say how much they
love it. Easy wouldn't for the dealer and no reduction
from that point on, Dickie, I don't think people. I
think people, Keywis. I think you probably just want to go, oh,
you buy it? And what will people be complaining about
after Coldplay? That it was too loud, that their car
got toed, that the trains didn't arrive. I think mainly

(42:32):
people stood up in front of them, or that the
security guards confiscated their umbrella or their barber ganoche. Oh
God help us. Chris Martin's invited two fans on stage
to sing with him. I hope they went. I don't
like concert beggars with signs. It'll be pre arranged. It'll
be like the record rep's daughter or something. Don't like

(42:54):
any of this. It's all seems too contrived to me.

Speaker 8 (42:58):
Anyway.

Speaker 3 (42:59):
That seems to be what's happened. How would someone contact
the newsroom about that? I'll text my boss, who has
he got up in stage. Who has he has? He
got up on stage with him to sing to sing
question mark it better not be you. Although although he

(43:27):
only have a text back with smiling faces because he
can't be bothered with engaging. Who has he got up
on stead with them to sing it but not be you?
There we go see how long are your response from that?
You have to keep his phone on in case we
go off here, so what we'll wreck the concert for him?
It serves him right. Marc has had a Brown fort
Es Court fondly known as the s h it by

(43:47):
my friends, was stolen one night from town and for
years I kept an eye out for I loved that car.
I can imagine what that was like. I can imagine
what that was like. Probably put on a container and
sent overseas. That's what they always say, don't they. That's
where stolen cars go. Lord of missing for me when
it comes to stolen cars, fancy getting on stage to

(44:12):
sing a song and they'll get someone else on stage
that they got cold plays famous for getting on like
ah Michael J. Fox. They got someone else who was
the one they got on recently? It was like it
seemed like a strange thing to do. Who do I

(44:34):
what do I google? Coldplay guest appearance? Who it was?
They all go they all want that virality, don't they.
I don't know who it was? Yeah, who is it? No,

(44:56):
it wasn't security guard, wasn't the super fan. It was
Michael J.

Speaker 6 (45:02):
Fox.

Speaker 3 (45:02):
And there was someone else. Yeah, kind of like an
unlikely person. Normally is Sharon sniffing around desperate to get
on stage with most of them is and he's always
getting on there anyway, eighteen past nine, car dealers and
stories about selling cars, buying cars, all the lines I
free'd like to hear from you, Hndle twelve, No Way

(45:24):
Back from the Boss. Yeah it was it was Ralph
Marchio with the karate kid. That's right. So they probably
get on someone I don't know. I don't even know
who was New Zealand's Ralph Marcio. I kind of imagine
who that person is that would get on stage and
people would think, oh goodness, gracious met So it's probably
like Nigel Letter or something. I don't know who it

(45:44):
would be. Another person. Christina's emailed A lot of flesh
cars are getting towed around need And Park. That'll be right,
there'll be a lot of people because they would have
planned in time, they would have got there. They were
have panic parked and they'll be toad. Good on the
Toyes for keeping it real talking about selling cars, the keys,
the pitfalls, the things you can say to the car
dealer to make for a fun transaction. There we go,

(46:09):
Damian Marcus, Welcome.

Speaker 16 (46:12):
Today, Marcus. I got a real beef about buying car
second hand on you great, and it's years ago you
could go in, there was a price on the window
and that's where you paid.

Speaker 9 (46:23):
Now you going there and.

Speaker 16 (46:25):
There's these bloody on road costs And I've challenged them
and I've said, what the hell are on road costs?
Eleven hundred and fifty dollars? Oh, we'll let's all the
things that we have to do to get it on
the road, registration, warrant of fitness and I say, okay,
it's seventeen, that's one hundred.

Speaker 10 (46:40):
What else?

Speaker 16 (46:41):
And it's like, oh the rubber mats? Yeah, what else?
How much does that kind of cost another one hundred dollars?
And it's like they can't justify it. And I think
this is just a rip off. Why where it since
ween did on road costs come into buying a car.
That was never part of buying a car in the past.
It's just something that's been added on by dealers all
over the country.

Speaker 3 (47:02):
But they'd make the ticket price cheaper as a result, wouldn't.

Speaker 17 (47:04):
They were they really?

Speaker 16 (47:08):
Do you really think?

Speaker 18 (47:09):
So?

Speaker 3 (47:11):
It's a competitive it's a competitive market. There's there's not
great margins, are They're all? Look, I don't know, because Tesla,
you just pay the ticket price, don't you.

Speaker 16 (47:22):
Well, the ticket price doesn't it doesn't include the on
road costs.

Speaker 9 (47:25):
That's a.

Speaker 3 (47:28):
Damien. Do they charge extra for the rubber mets?

Speaker 16 (47:33):
Your dollars an ongne cost?

Speaker 3 (47:38):
Damien? Do they charge extra for the rubber mets?

Speaker 16 (47:42):
I know, I know they do.

Speaker 9 (47:45):
Since when do then have it?

Speaker 2 (47:47):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (47:47):
I don't know, but yeah, yeah, I go put a
new car once. But anyway, nice to talk to you,
Jim Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 18 (47:54):
I'm Marcus. I'm nearly eighty. So I bought a few
cars on and over the bitch you have and yeah,
well it does and they met up over the Yeah,
I keep my cars quite a while, but I've always
found private buyers and sellers hard to deal with, difficult,

(48:15):
whereas car I like car dealers. If you get to
a reputable deal, not little some backyard, by a decent, good,
reputable yard, they're very decent and you can off make
an op erun as usual, a bit of bartering, and
they always like to have the last say, So you've
got to offer more than your off a less than
you really are prepared to pay. It's just in their blood.

(48:38):
They've got to have the last say. But that's that.
And I can't remember dealers letting me drive a car
off a lot just with an ordinary check, not even
a bank check, you know, just my ordinary when you
could write checks. And also you get a warranty. Even
if you don't buy a warranty, you still got that

(49:00):
buyer's protection thing, you know, like you do on everything.
And you'll find with private tellers they look on the
dealers and they and you look on trade. Mean they're
asking as much as the dealers, and there's no proof
of ownership and there's no comeback. You know, you expect
to pay the lesson be buying privately. But they seem
to think they can get most a lot of them anyways,

(49:23):
seem to think they can get the same.

Speaker 3 (49:26):
How many dealers are buying cars privately.

Speaker 18 (49:29):
Oh yeah, they do, but they have to be very hard. No,
it's because they've they've got to be. They've got to
be they've got to be a few grand at least
in it for them, because they you know, they've got
to turn it over and sit on it in detail.
And I've always find I must prefer to buy it

(49:49):
from a decent dealer. And I bought a few over
the years. I bought a few Falcons, bear Mots and
that that had been ex rentals. But they're very they
were like new, and I got them for a half price,
you know, for a new car.

Speaker 3 (50:06):
Where did you do well? You're buying in Auckland there,
I can remember.

Speaker 18 (50:13):
I can remember the car Bears and the new market
Carpee you were talking about the other night. I think
you said something about it.

Speaker 3 (50:20):
It was market. Then went to Greenland. His first car
was the old Carfee and there was a great.

Speaker 18 (50:27):
Cure of cars to get in, and the dealers used
to run up. The dealers used to run up and
down trying to grab them early before they went inside.
And and then I ended up going to buy daughters.
I brought cars for them, but it ended up added
eldestly I think at the racetrack. But once again there

(50:47):
was a lot of dreamers. They're asking more than the dealers.
I mean, you might as well go to That's what
I always found, and I always found them difficult to
deal with. Their car was worse. Was the best car
in the world, you know when that when you.

Speaker 3 (51:01):
Were trying to how did you used to pay it
the old carfee? Did you take on the old cash
in the pocket? Is that what you had to do?

Speaker 17 (51:09):
Well?

Speaker 3 (51:09):
Because you couldn't go to a money machine, could you.

Speaker 18 (51:12):
No, you couldn't. And they used to organize a bank
check on the money on the Monday and go and
pick it up on the monday.

Speaker 2 (51:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (51:19):
Would there be banking people at the carfe is?

Speaker 18 (51:23):
No, No, most people. I would never take a person's check.
I would only ever want a bank check, you know,
if I was selling, but from the dealer is very
trusting when they let me just pay by a car,
you know, thirty thousand dollars just with an ordinary check,
you know, not a bank check.

Speaker 3 (51:43):
What are you driving?

Speaker 18 (51:44):
People don't know the difference, don't know the difference. You know, Well,
a bank check is you go to the bank and
buy it. So that's it cost about ten dollars, but
it's guaranteed by the bank. There's no way it'll ever bounce.

Speaker 8 (51:57):
You know.

Speaker 2 (51:58):
That's chicks.

Speaker 3 (51:59):
The more is there, they're all gone.

Speaker 18 (52:01):
No, it's all finished. But now I suppose I haven't
done it since then. But I suppose you'd have to
give them your bank thing and do it and and
they get on their computer and your transfer.

Speaker 3 (52:14):
They'd see it transferred and then you'd get the car.
That would be the way it would go. You just
do it.

Speaker 18 (52:18):
You've got to see it going. You've got to see
it go in to your account though, haven't.

Speaker 3 (52:22):
You got props up with process and you're good to go? Hey, Jim,
what are you driving now?

Speaker 18 (52:29):
Ford again?

Speaker 3 (52:29):
Yeah, it's probably an fixed the repair. It's probably an
opal is it?

Speaker 6 (52:39):
Man?

Speaker 18 (52:39):
I have to escape the lake? Escape they they say
pixel repair daily, that's the call for.

Speaker 3 (52:47):
I've been to that website for car acronyms. There's all
sorts to those that are like fix it again, Tony.

Speaker 18 (52:52):
Or and another made of mine. I had afford use
in NAUSI when I was working in and he had
a he had a Dodge and he said, if you
can't afford a dodge, dodgeer forward. That's what you had
great sayings. This guy used to work with you.

Speaker 3 (53:13):
Californ Cardifford to Dodge. Yeah, that's good. That's really good,
isn't it. Yeah, the most the most of those ones
are b M W A like they're the ones that
barely moving wreck and things like that. That's always good.

Speaker 18 (53:27):
And bring money with you, I think that's what the
mechanics call them, bring money.

Speaker 3 (53:35):
With a fixer. That's a classic in it.

Speaker 18 (53:39):
But there's a lot of heaps of people are trying
to sell their cars on the road at the map,
on the side of the road some streets. They become
known as cars.

Speaker 9 (53:49):
In every car.

Speaker 3 (53:52):
I guess the cell phones enabled that, didn't they because
you're just being it there, and because and in the
cargo people take their cars to Queenstown because people think
they've been away from the sea the whole time.

Speaker 18 (54:02):
Ah right, I don't think that makes much difference now.
And that business about thrashing rantals, you know, most pop
higher rantals are mature people that don't thrash.

Speaker 3 (54:16):
Exactly the myth though as a drive like you've rented it, Jim,
Thanks so much for that. Nice to talk to you.
Enjoyed that greatly. Kathy, Marcus.

Speaker 8 (54:23):
Welcome, good good evening, Marcus. How are you. I hope
you having a great evening?

Speaker 3 (54:28):
Yeah, great even Thanks Kathy.

Speaker 8 (54:30):
Hey, look what I'm what I'm ringing about is that
I'm actually just put my own vehicle, which is a
Ute twenty eighteen ute, on the market and selling it privately.
And I'm way below what the you know, what the
car yards are offering. And I guess maybe because I'm
down over Marlboro, a way down Blenham, maybe that puts

(54:51):
people off. I don't know, but you know, I think
I think as long as you're fair in the price
that you're asking is a private seller, then you shouldn't
really go wrong with it. You warrant new registration. When
what else can I do?

Speaker 9 (55:06):
Where are you?

Speaker 3 (55:07):
Are you on trade me or marketplace or just in
the paper?

Speaker 2 (55:11):
No?

Speaker 8 (55:11):
Well I went I went on to auto Trader.

Speaker 3 (55:14):
Of course, of course I've forgotten about that. That's a website,
is it?

Speaker 8 (55:20):
Sorry, it's a witch a website, Yes, yes, yes, on
on on auto Traders. So I've done that, and I'm thinking, well,
I'm not asking anything that's too much, and it's a
great vehicle. Genuine reason for sale. So you know, golly,
I just hope that somebody will see it and say, hey,
look she's she's not cutting anyone off.

Speaker 3 (55:41):
How long you've been there? How long you've been there
for on the on the selling floor.

Speaker 8 (55:46):
Oh, only just a week or so.

Speaker 3 (55:48):
Okay, a ra Kendalls. So how many offers have you had?

Speaker 8 (55:51):
No, I haven't had any office. I've had one inquiry.
But I'm thinking do I go on to trade me?
Maybe I should go on to trade me, you know,
because I'm it's really well priced compared to the compared
to the dealers, that's sure.

Speaker 3 (56:07):
So did you use that did you use that trade
me website to work out its value?

Speaker 8 (56:13):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, I'm way below what anyone else
is asking. I can tell you that, way below. So
maybe people maybe people are just a bit wary at
the moment.

Speaker 3 (56:23):
Maybe maybe it's priced too cheaply, Kathy. But someone said,
there is a website you go to and you just
put on the car's number plate, right, yeah, yep, and
they will tell you and they will tell you exactly
how much to charge for it.

Speaker 8 (56:38):
Okay, right, Okay, I wonder where I find.

Speaker 3 (56:41):
That site on trade me.

Speaker 8 (56:44):
It's on the actual trade me sing, and.

Speaker 3 (56:48):
You've just got to put the number plate in the
mileage and it'll tell you exactly how much to charge
for it. And it seems to be very very accurate.

Speaker 8 (56:57):
Okay, Well I'm happy to do that because I you know,
I don't want to rip an I.

Speaker 3 (57:02):
Know, I don't want to wrap yourself off. Do you
want to get fair price for it?

Speaker 12 (57:07):
Oh?

Speaker 8 (57:07):
Yeah, you know, But I mean the thing is, you
just need to get what you paid for it and
someone else.

Speaker 18 (57:13):
It's a win win.

Speaker 2 (57:15):
Now.

Speaker 3 (57:16):
I'll tell you something, Kathy, you just google right, yes, yes,
trade me value my car.

Speaker 8 (57:24):
Okay, trade me value my car. I'm I'll have to
go out there and see how I go with it.

Speaker 3 (57:29):
Beautiful. Thank you, kafy win win win one. Talking about
buying cars, text Marcus and mate twin TSI to a
roady years ago first stop a car auction. They popped
the bondot and pulled a spark plug, lead up hold
on stage dragon motor and patially waited for the car
to be driven to the auction. Because it was running rough.
It didn't get a bit until it was on the
way back to the yard. My mates put out three
hundred and it was knocked down to them. They paid

(57:50):
up to screetly pop the plug me back on and
drove all over the place for weeks. No trouble. Sold
two cars for my mother, a Mankey Workhoorse Jimney and
Fiji by private sale for twenty k New Zealand and
Aldi ay Aluaday Sports at Turners in christ Church for
eight k. Go figure, everyone's looking forward to concert comments

(58:14):
what will people complain about abou after Coldplay? Are we
the trains or people towing their cars? Craig Marc is welcome,
good evening, how's again this evening? Good? Thank you Craig.

Speaker 19 (58:25):
First of all, I wanted to say I feel sorry
for other people who had the train axcent of to
day in Hamilton here and they've got lost, lost their lives.
So I wanted to say sorry to the happy their
family are sort of getting over that one. It's not
a good thing. We were coming back from town and
my friends mind the work for Keivy. We're coming back
coming back from town with anyone. I go, that's a

(58:46):
strange place to park a train. So I rang them
up and he said I would just hit a car.
It's like, oh, that's not good at all. So not
a good start for the end of the week. But anyway,
far as cars go, bought a Holden Statesman from a
Wrecords up in an Auba many years ago, and he
wanted twelve hundred dollars for it, and I couldn't afford
the twelve hundred dollars, so he knocked it down to
eight hundred do if he took the motor out of it.

(59:08):
So they took the motor out of it. I brought
it home and then got a knock on the door
once I reregistered by these to say that I had
stolen motor and were going to seize the vehicle, and
I just pointed out there was no motor in it.
So after walking around the front of the section and
they go, it's sitting quite high because there's no motor.

Speaker 2 (59:23):
And it popped the bond.

Speaker 19 (59:23):
There was nothing in there. So it got away from
that one quite luckily. But then I ended up selling
the car to.

Speaker 3 (59:30):
Hang on Craig. This is a I mean, why would
you buy a car without a motor in it?

Speaker 19 (59:38):
Because I couldn't afford the twelve hundred dollars for the car,
so I bought out a motor, and I was going
to do the car up and put a motor and
later on, and he like a seventeen year old, so
I couldn't afford the whole car. And I said to
the guy, well, can I get it without the motor?
And he goes, yep, with the teeth of this price
and give you a bit cheaper. So I bought the car.

Speaker 3 (59:53):
It'd be a big hand on them to take the
motor out, wouldn't it.

Speaker 19 (59:57):
Ten minutes for the forkft Really yeah, just took a
whole front nose, came to the car off and under
the scenes and slid it straight out the exhaust with
a guest which and pulled it ride out. And then
I had to work a bit extra hours and managed
to get up enough money to buy a good second
hand motor and gearbox from another company and friends might
at work out the company, put it back into the

(01:00:18):
car and get going.

Speaker 3 (01:00:19):
Hang on these other questions, So why did the police
think it was the motor was stolen?

Speaker 19 (01:00:24):
Because when I rereased the vehicle had all the details
on there about all the miss numbers and all that,
and it came up as a stolen motor and I see, well,
it doesn't have that motor in any anymore.

Speaker 3 (01:00:33):
So you wouldn't have put the motor and as the
details because didn't have a motor, wouldn't you.

Speaker 19 (01:00:38):
Were still on the original ownership papers, wanted to do
the change of ownership.

Speaker 3 (01:00:42):
It's a complicated story.

Speaker 19 (01:00:44):
Yeah, And then I end up selling the car to
a friend of a friend. Then I got another visit
from the police to say that the car was reversing
to a boat dealership up in Auckland and helped the
trailer off the boat on and go off of it.
Because the guy hadn't bothered doing the change of ownership,
I was still the last registered owner. So yeah, you
got to be careful with cars. And then quickly one
of my other friends he had sold a car and

(01:01:07):
two guys turned up to buy it, and it's only
like eight hundred dollars. They turned up for a test
drive and never brought it back, and he went re
brought it to the police. So they tracked the guys
down and then the guy said no, we paid him,
and they had bank records from their bank saying they'd
taken eight hundred dollars out of the day and it
was there there are two guys words against his word,
so that turned up quite messy in the courts as well.

(01:01:28):
So you've got to be a really carefully. There's a
lot of dodgy stuff going on there. But yeah, it's
a bit of shame that trade me. I was sort
of hoping lest those guys you get a little bit
of comeback.

Speaker 3 (01:01:37):
I'd imagine, did you buy a mijor for your car, yep.

Speaker 4 (01:01:43):
From Aerica for how much?

Speaker 3 (01:01:45):
Two hundred?

Speaker 19 (01:01:47):
No, it was about six hundred and seven hundred dollars
because it was a filling motor, was low k's on it,
and a transmission or bolted up to the whole thing.
So they normally take a three or eight motor, which
is what i'm the holding mode, which is slightly bigger.
But I just put in a two five three, just
like the smaller motor because I wanted to save him
and money on fuel. Mind you, back in those those
field was only like seventy eight, seventy eight.

Speaker 3 (01:02:09):
The world's most complicated. You'd be a double cab ute guy, now,
wouldn't you.

Speaker 19 (01:02:14):
No, Jeep Cherokee really.

Speaker 3 (01:02:16):
Didn't pick you as a jerokee guy. Too boxy looking,
aren't they?

Speaker 19 (01:02:22):
No, mine's a two thousand and seven chep Cherokee with
the four point seven of the eight in it, So
that goes quite well. It's got a lot of rumor too,
And I'd.

Speaker 3 (01:02:29):
Rather be funny looking grill that looks a bit American.

Speaker 19 (01:02:33):
Yeah it does, but I look at that that the
way people drove nowadays, I'd rather be something not there.
If I got helped by someone, then a smaller Japanese vehicle,
because he'd be less likely to get walk away from there.

Speaker 2 (01:02:43):
One.

Speaker 3 (01:02:44):
How many demerits are you sitting on?

Speaker 19 (01:02:46):
I got zero?

Speaker 3 (01:02:47):
Whatever?

Speaker 19 (01:02:48):
Really zero demerits and us been in takes about ten
years ago?

Speaker 10 (01:02:52):
Wow?

Speaker 3 (01:02:52):
What was going on?

Speaker 19 (01:02:53):
Then coming down the hill going a little bit too
fast past the speak camera shopers, I'm just coming out.
Hel didn't realize there was changing one zone to the
other and then that. But no, I don't. I don't
see the point of it. I mean, I reckon if
you speed you it's a small damage down the line
if you had something. But everyone makes called me a nana.

(01:03:16):
That's like I'd rather be a nana and have put that.

Speaker 3 (01:03:20):
No good on you. Okay, oh that's a good story,
us complicated, Thank you, Craig. There we go. They are
playing sky full of Stars. Now that'll be the that'll
be They'll be waving their cell phones. I don't care.
Go on and tear me apart. I don't care if
you do. We were because in the sky, because you're
a sky for lift. That's the Coldplay review. After ten,

(01:03:47):
they were telling us what went wrong. I don't know
who this person is texting me if they're at the concert.
It's not my boss. My boss said. The people on
stage just some Mexicans and what that means, the free
people from Mexico. They were doing getting up on stage.

(01:04:08):
They don't know who's got the Ralph Marcio moment. Someone said,
it'll be shamed called Daisy because they get some like
faded star up like Ralph Marcio or Michael J. Fox.
Wishould get a woman up. Very good car stories apart

(01:04:31):
from that complicated one with it. Who'd by caldd an
engine the last cool That's who. There were some Mexican
Coldplay fans on the news tonight, so it would have
been them. They will be super fans. They love they
love honoring a super fan. It's like if you talk

(01:04:55):
to some of Springsteen super fans. It's a pretty complicated
kind of a business. Gary Marcus, Evening, Yeah, just a
bad It gets full of cardials.

Speaker 13 (01:05:06):
Earlier this year. I know, we drive a twenty twenty
four to escape done thirty one thousand kilometers, and I
took it into two different agents here, and they would
not commit themselves as what it was worth as a
trade in until I definitely bought one of their cars.
I've done what you suggested to that lady to value

(01:05:29):
my car over trade me, so I knew what I
could possibly expect.

Speaker 3 (01:05:35):
To trade in, what a trade be valued to that.

Speaker 13 (01:05:40):
Just over twenty thousand.

Speaker 3 (01:05:42):
The data's offer you.

Speaker 13 (01:05:44):
They wouldn't, That's the point. They would not love themselves
as a trading price unless I firmly bought one of
their cars. I'm very tempted to name the bloody franchises,
but I won't in respect for them, which I shouldn't have.
But the stripe one was bad en up and to
strike two of them on end completely lost faith in it.

(01:06:05):
So I went back to the board agent, who immediately
gained and gave me a figure that I could expect,
and this was a cash figure if I bought an
under forward there's the difference. One of them used the
excuse I'd have to ring up the Ford agent to
find out what it was worth. And I said to him, well,

(01:06:26):
I've already valued it, trade me website or did you
can't take that is being correct? I said, well why not?
Why the hell is it on there? And if it's
not correct, wow, So that's like and bearing in mind
I'm in my late eighties, I've bought and sold a
few cars over the years. I had my first run

(01:06:48):
when I was about fifteen, so I know what I
could and should expect from them. But the thing that
amazes me being here in Hamilton, the competition, I thought
would be desperate to make a sale when you drive
up to repistrate and see the millions and not underestimating
millions of dollars a car, and it probably applies and

(01:07:10):
often as well, sitting on the web on their trade
on their site after the year after year, possibly.

Speaker 3 (01:07:20):
So they would give you what you the cow was
worth if you brought a new forward. Is that what
you're telling me?

Speaker 13 (01:07:27):
Not a Ford. I'll name the Don'll name the French,
and one of them was everyone was.

Speaker 20 (01:07:34):
Tire.

Speaker 13 (01:07:36):
But neither of these characters would commit themselves as to
trade unless I firmly bought one of their vehicles.

Speaker 3 (01:07:43):
Yeah, so what did you end up doing?

Speaker 13 (01:07:46):
I've hung on to it. The reason I was trading
it was because because it's a turbo, it takes the
extra year retype a petrol ie ninety five or ninety eight,
and plus the fact it's a bit thirsty at lanty
to eight point nine kilometers eight point nine leaders to
a hundre kilometers. And that was the reason I was thinking,

(01:08:10):
is that I've just given the whole idea away. Now
we just catch the bus into wherever we want to go.
So those cap of characters lost a sail.

Speaker 3 (01:08:19):
But you weren't going to buy this Azuki, were you.

Speaker 13 (01:08:22):
Yes, that I wanted a figure of the trade in.
There's a sidroom. It's coming out of my budget, not yours.

Speaker 3 (01:08:32):
So if that given you a fear value for that car,
then you would have bought what they had to offer.

Speaker 13 (01:08:38):
Yeah, I mean they had a figure on their vehicle
as they wanted, but they would not give me a
trade in figure of what mine was worth. So that
I knew exactly what the difference was, I asked you
would you do that?

Speaker 3 (01:08:54):
Well, soon as the dinner with someone that was elderly. Also,
I'm not calling you olderly. Will you think there'd be
some consideration to you?

Speaker 13 (01:09:02):
Well, or like, all I want is a certain figure
between my tradeing and their retail value. That's all I
was asking. Unless I fully committed myself and to buy
their vehicle.

Speaker 10 (01:09:17):
They would not.

Speaker 3 (01:09:19):
I'm still not entirely I'm still not entirely clear, Gary,
what caryards do with the trade ins? They just seen
them to turners or something? Do they They're of no
use to them because they're a different brand. They don't
want them. I don't think.

Speaker 13 (01:09:33):
Well that's possibly the answer.

Speaker 3 (01:09:35):
Yeah, I mean, and maybe something can maybe something I
think people find because I find cards buying and selling
a car is quite complicated. So maybe someone in the
next hour can tell us the whole thing with trade ins,
because I've heard different theories about it. It's all kind
of sketchy for me. First casualty of tradings is the truth.
But yeah, we'll call you jets Gary. But yeah, I'm

(01:09:57):
pleased to hear you get in the bus where you
get the bus from.

Speaker 13 (01:10:02):
Oh five minutes walk down the road and I and
I travel free.

Speaker 3 (01:10:08):
I'll go yeah, thank you, thank you. Winston.

Speaker 9 (01:10:12):
Okay, bye bye.

Speaker 3 (01:10:14):
Cricket's about to start and using a Sri Lanka Cole
plays about to finish New Zealand versus Chris Martin. I
mean jeepers and then I mean hard enough to like
when it starts kissing the ground before he gets on planes.
It's a stretch. Peter Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 9 (01:10:31):
Hello Marcus. And I used to work in the car
industry Lord couple years ago, and Manikow and these two
guys they were brothers, Reef and Kouri. They used to
buy all our trade in and they used to work
on anything under two hundred thousand kilometers was considered low mileage.

(01:10:52):
These guys had a Rolls Royce each and they used
to buy all our trades. Now the car yards don't
really want the trades. It's more of us. I thought,
you go in there, you get rid of your car
and you buy a new car. But anyway, one day
this guy came in in a Morris Marina panel van
and he wanted to trade it and the car. The

(01:11:15):
sales manager, Gary went to take a test drive in
this car to see if it was any good. What
they didn't tell Gary was that there was a dog
in the back of the car. There was, And so
he was sitting getting ready to pull out of the
dealership and the dog had his head in between the seats,
and so he went to turn left and the dog's

(01:11:36):
head was right there. And so the sales managed to say, well,
just about the pence when I saw this dog, you know.
And so lots of fun, lots of great stories, lots
of laughs in the car industry.

Speaker 3 (01:11:47):
I imagine they're fun people. Car sales are going to
quite fun. People sit in the desk, get but a
fun there are you're sitting looking at someone coming into
the yard. It's good value.

Speaker 9 (01:11:56):
Yeah, well there's a lot of downtime, so you got
to have that sort of camaraderie. So we used to
have lots of fun. But it was you know in
the days when people there was quite a lot of
walking traffic coming onto the yards.

Speaker 3 (01:12:07):
And do you take turns with who goes out when
someone walks on the yard?

Speaker 9 (01:12:11):
Are you you do? Or you might say, oh this
one over here in the green shit, that's my one,
or something like that, you know.

Speaker 3 (01:12:18):
And how much would the brothers that drive the rolls,
how much would they pay for the traders, will they
pay exactly what you paid for them.

Speaker 9 (01:12:25):
So they would they would give you sort of like
a wholesale a wholesale price. And often what they give
you for a trade depends on the gross profit that
they've got in the vehicle that they're selling. So if
they've got a really good profit in the vehicle that
they're selling, they could afford to give you a little
bit more for your trade to try and make the
deal happen.

Speaker 3 (01:12:45):
Okay, and then how much do you sell that car
to the brothers with the Rolls Royce.

Speaker 9 (01:12:51):
I think that that would probably just sort of break
even in terms.

Speaker 3 (01:12:54):
Of tell them, you'd tell them at cost you that's
what I thought you'd probably be because you've got no
use for it, have you?

Speaker 9 (01:13:00):
No?

Speaker 3 (01:13:01):
No, did the brothers with the Rolls Royces have their
own car yard.

Speaker 9 (01:13:06):
I think they did. And I'm pretty sure that at
that sort of bottom end of the market, you know,
like five thousand dollar cars, and that there was there
was a lot of money in the lower end of
the market, because I understand.

Speaker 3 (01:13:17):
Certainly as a percentage, I would think so, yeah.

Speaker 9 (01:13:20):
Low imagins and new cars.

Speaker 3 (01:13:22):
Yeah, yeah, I imagine that's the same same with Rolex's
all the margins and the smaller value watchers.

Speaker 9 (01:13:27):
Yeah, what are you?

Speaker 3 (01:13:30):
What trade are you now? Peter? Did you have a
guts full?

Speaker 9 (01:13:35):
What's sorry? What was that?

Speaker 3 (01:13:36):
Did you? Why did you get out of cars? Did
you have a guts full?

Speaker 2 (01:13:39):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:13:39):
Well, I was.

Speaker 9 (01:13:40):
I was a young fella. I was in the twenties
and I did my OI around Europe. Oh god, you're
working there to save up some money.

Speaker 3 (01:13:49):
Great, good story, Peter, Thanks so much. It's all about
car yards in car sales nineteen past ten. Crickets rained off.
That's disappointing. Sort you're weather at tri linka cold place
is just about Finta's gonna be done in dusted by ten thirty.
I believe that's the kind of the legislations they work on,
and it seems to be enjoyable. People who'd at far
and wide balloons will let go. They're saying yellow they
did it all will find out from them as they're winging

(01:14:09):
their way through the leafy suburbs of central Auckland. Also
to the cricket that's rained off, did they get an
over and then one ball? Oh, for goodness sake, one ball?
Have they got a weather forecast? Of there, they would

(01:14:30):
have known the rain was imminent. So monsoon seasons hasn't looked.
But you think there must there must be some deal
that if one ball is paid, that the tickets aren't refundable,
as that's crazy for one ball. Goodness, Karen Marcus welcome,

(01:14:50):
hold your horses, cane and push. But Karen Marcus welcome,
Thank Karen.

Speaker 21 (01:14:58):
I get a car dealership, No really, I don't.

Speaker 9 (01:15:02):
I didn't.

Speaker 21 (01:15:05):
When I I used to commute and go to Hamilton.
I worked on a very big car dealership in Hamilton
that had four other branches around. I think there was
one in t r Murdu Cambridge, very big. So I
was the new Mazda administration assistant. So at this big

(01:15:31):
dealership it was our Ford and a Masda. So there
was the forward side that did all your board ranges,
all your forward cars, and then I was on the
master side. And then we had our own second hand
cars as well. So when all the trading come up,
somebody come in, they'd buy a new Masda or a

(01:15:51):
bet fifty something like that. Then new trade would go down.
I'll do all the paperwork and register the vehicle and
stuff like that, and then their trade would go to
our second hand part. So that's where all our trades went.
But can remember about how many so many people, you know,
the amount of forward rangers that they would sell on

(01:16:12):
a month because it would get to the end of
the month and all the sales guys were going around
and you know it's I think they worked really hard
for what they got, but I think they were all
getting pretty good money. But the forward side we'd have
a bit of a competition, you know, between the Ford
and the Master, and you know, for would just winning
every year. But you know, I think I was there

(01:16:34):
for about two and a half years.

Speaker 3 (01:16:35):
And you're you're on straight wages. You went on commission yourself,
were you?

Speaker 21 (01:16:40):
I wasn't in I was in sales. I was just
an administrator.

Speaker 7 (01:16:43):
Yep.

Speaker 21 (01:16:45):
We used to get very good, you know, Christmas bonuses
and Christmas parties and you know, stuff like that. You know,
we were very well looked after, but it was only
the sales guy that used to get the bonuses.

Speaker 3 (01:16:59):
And how did it work with the mat?

Speaker 21 (01:17:02):
About the one I think you asked about the mats,
whether you get a mat now you bought a brand
new mes, still put the mats and then you know, you,
because I'd make up all the invoices and so you'd
still be charging them for the mats. And so kind
of what I learned from that is when when I
moved down here to crows dre On and Lincoln now
and I've brought two cars since I've been down here,

(01:17:25):
and both Hondas, and I go into the Honda dealership
and I go always trying to get something free, and
if I'm not buying new or anything like that, but
I go, well, you know, what can I have for free?
And that's how you kind of you feel like you're
getting one up on them. Yeah, like mats or can
I have a full tank of petrol? That's always my

(01:17:46):
line as well.

Speaker 3 (01:17:50):
Why are the mets part of the car.

Speaker 21 (01:17:54):
That's just one of those I was going to swear
there just one of those ones that they you know,
it'll have mets in it. But if you want original
Mezzda mats, you know, and might but cheap ones in there.
But if you want mester ones, then that's when you'd
have to pay for them. But there were so many extras,

(01:18:14):
you know, extra you know, bigger tires or the forward rangers,
you know, so many of those that you'd buy it
with no uh, what's the good on the top. We
send them away to a big dealer that would put
the kenopies on. While I was working there, my my

(01:18:38):
brother from Auckland, he came down and he bought a
big Ford Ranger, got the whole thing done up, the.

Speaker 11 (01:18:47):
Deal yea.

Speaker 3 (01:18:50):
Hey, So tell me tell me something. Tell me something, Karen,
when you're buying the trade ins, what sort of markup
are you saying them for on their own special trading yard.

Speaker 21 (01:19:02):
I've got no idea.

Speaker 3 (01:19:03):
Okay, that wasn't part of your perview.

Speaker 21 (01:19:06):
No, it wasn't part of my No, No, it wasn't.
You know, there's always going to you know, this was
a very wealthy dealership. You know, they were making some money.
By god, the amount of people, old farmers that would
come in to buy their brand new Ford Mustangs. And

(01:19:26):
my office was right in the showroom, so I would
always look out my office and there'd be like a
beautiful Ford must you know, sitting out there, and the
top of the range forward ranges. You know, actually, at
the time, I think there is money out there. You know,
people have got money.

Speaker 3 (01:19:44):
You don't know how much profit there was on a
new car No, you didn't certainly got much of top
secret information, did you.

Speaker 21 (01:19:55):
I know, I know it was a bit slow. And
that's where I was actually working when I got diagnosed
with this autoimmus autoimmune disease that I've got, yes, And
because that it made my my eyes droop. Oh wow,
So that was really hard to do my job, you know,
sitting at a desk all day and doing paperwork. And yeah,
I kind of I had to leave that job because

(01:20:16):
my eyes just wouldn't stay open. So I had to
get treatment and on all these big communications, and it
took about a year later before I kind of got
back to work, and then I went into home care
for the elderly. Yeah, so I haven't set at a desk,
you know, for a few years now.

Speaker 3 (01:20:33):
Oh, nice to hear from kew Keith Marcus.

Speaker 2 (01:20:36):
Welcome, good evening. Mark goes say, I'm just talking about
carsles just a memory test. I used to be a
cow sales from late sixties early seventies. We had the Mista.

Speaker 3 (01:20:52):
Franchise masters were around then.

Speaker 2 (01:20:56):
Oh, and I increased the r xts. Oh yeah, I
believe they're featuring a lot of money. And in those
days was fairly convoluted about, hey, you should buy a
car overseas funds, but I won't bully you were there.
But the thing with the trade ins, we would want
one thousand dollars markup, which he bought a new ERICS

(01:21:21):
two office because the unavailability. You could drive it off
the yard and you'd a grand more for it.

Speaker 3 (01:21:29):
Oh wow, okay.

Speaker 2 (01:21:31):
The downside was back in those days in nineteen seventy two,
as far as the salesman was concerned, your base rate
was twenty five dollars a week. That was your salary
in your commission was fifteen dollars for selling the car.

Speaker 3 (01:21:51):
Oh wow, okay.

Speaker 2 (01:21:53):
So the year, I know it's not really up to
date with but no, it's.

Speaker 3 (01:21:57):
Just would you so many cars? Would you so many
cars a month?

Speaker 2 (01:22:01):
Keith? Probably six or seven because of Toya to Corolla
in those days, like the Master was three seven three
five new three thousand, seven hundred set by new RX two. Yeah. Yeah,
but the Toyota Corolla, which had a power steering option,

(01:22:25):
was a thousand dollars cheaper. They were that they were
running out and oh well that was a long time ago.
But Rosie Hawton name drop her. She she was a
very famous lady. She wouldn't buy the RX too because
it didn't have their steering, so she bought a Toyota
Corolla coop. No, it's just funny how things change. But yeah,

(01:22:50):
oh like and eight dollars a week for the flat.
But no, no, it's just just how things changed. But
we wanted a thousand dollars on the trade and because
that was what it was worth when we drove there
the show him, because she just couldn't buy the team things.

Speaker 3 (01:23:08):
What was the you're at, dear Old Keith?

Speaker 2 (01:23:12):
It was four forty four Great Northrow gray Line. It
was called Moriati Motors.

Speaker 3 (01:23:18):
Remember what we owned by mister Moriati?

Speaker 2 (01:23:21):
Oh Leo Leo Arthur. Yeah, we had he know, Pugio
in Mesder franchise. And I was proud enough to sell
Gail Trui in the first ares to Automatic in New Zealand.
But that was a long time ago. Sorry, he's just
not me.

Speaker 3 (01:23:38):
And who was who?

Speaker 6 (01:23:41):
Who was that?

Speaker 2 (01:23:43):
Gail Tree Mew And she brought the first areks to
Mesda Automedic in New Zealand.

Speaker 3 (01:23:51):
That's that's not That's not a name I should remember,
is it? Oh no, no, no, not at all but
which which you live.

Speaker 2 (01:24:02):
Central Road in Flesh and she had a mark two
COURTEENA which had a overhead care mode have put in it.
And we paid eight hundred dollars to that and we
saw it for I don't know nineteen nine nine nine,
but yeah, yeah, and then drill trap brought us out

(01:24:24):
and then after that and now there's two hundred apartments
on the side of four forty four Great North Road.
But sorry, it's a little bit off topic.

Speaker 3 (01:24:33):
No, it's extremely interesting. It's extremely interesting and relevant. I'm
appreciate your memory a great deal. Are you still in
the orphan area?

Speaker 18 (01:24:42):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:24:42):
No, im? And why he? Now you get away from
the graffiti and the exorbitant rates, so you move down here?

Speaker 8 (01:24:50):
Is it?

Speaker 3 (01:24:51):
Is it going all right?

Speaker 2 (01:24:52):
Why he? Oh yeah, I love it. Ten minutes of
the beach and like I said, no graffiti and good
place to live.

Speaker 3 (01:25:03):
I'm seeing we've poor the house the.

Speaker 2 (01:25:06):

Speaker 3 (01:25:18):
Nice there from you, Keith?

Speaker 2 (01:25:19):
Thank you?

Speaker 3 (01:25:20):
Next to St. Joseph's School, of course, four four four
Great North Road. Some of you remember it. My name
is Marcus. Welcome Dal twelve, enjoying the reminiscent. I had Coldplay,
Go guys. NZTA is closed the Northwestern for routine maintenance,
just as Coldplay closes. That should cause hussles. Expect more
reports before too long. Imagine someone's going to ring in

(01:25:40):
about that. What were they thinking? Fair point fire coom.
You just getting details through about that numerant situation at
the stage. If you're Johnny on the spot and go
carrying on the corner. Got more information, let us know
what that information is. It's all happening tonight. It's going
to be a big finish, strong finish, breaking news as
we happen. Tom, It's Marcus, welcome him evening, Tom.

Speaker 20 (01:26:05):
You want to know, hew, the dealers got rid of
the traders back in the past sort of thing. Yes, Well,
I was in the car business in the nineteen seventies
and we used to get a lot of trade ins
from the big franchise dealers through the dealers that were
running the yards and we'd meet them up at the
Southern Cross Pub and it would be a few dollars

(01:26:28):
change hands, and that's the way it worked.

Speaker 3 (01:26:33):
So how would the negotiations work.

Speaker 20 (01:26:37):
Well at the very didn't depend on what was you know,
what the deal was where most of them didn't want
those older cars. They didn't have room on the yards,
and they didn't want to sort of lower their sort
of appearance, and they dealt with in Wellington what we
called the bird cage boys. There was a lot of
this in those days. There's only one left now. It's
an Adelaide road, is John Dudley.

Speaker 3 (01:26:58):
Yes, And the bird cage boys were the ones that
dealt with the cheaper cars.

Speaker 7 (01:27:04):
Is that right?

Speaker 20 (01:27:06):
Generally you're correct, you're correct, But can you can you
tell me?

Speaker 3 (01:27:12):
Can you tell me how much they had to get
for trading. I mean that you'd buy it, buy it
for two grand and had to get four grand four?
Is that how it worked?

Speaker 20 (01:27:20):
No, No, nothing like that. Every deal sort of it
was as much as if could get out of it.
Put it that way. Sometimes you have to cut your
margin back and sometimes you have to pay a little
bit more for a car that was popular, but more
for a car that was a popular car, a popular vehicle, Okay,

(01:27:42):
you have to pay a premium for that because it
was easily saleable. But the harder ones, the high mileage
ones and that and the ones that have been knocked
around it. But they didn't want them anywhere near the yard.
And sometimes you get a real bargain. They just want
them cleared out and their books straight and there you
find end.

Speaker 3 (01:27:59):
Would you have to do any work on the traders
straight to the yes and you Kennick, would you.

Speaker 8 (01:28:08):
No?

Speaker 20 (01:28:08):
But we had relationships with two or three different mechanics,
in fact more than that. But and certain certain courses
for horses, for courses such certain mechanics specialized in something
somes and transmissions somes and engineer rebuilds somes and just
a quick change and tidy up sort of thing.

Speaker 3 (01:28:27):
Tune up and Tom, would you have a list of
cars that people required? Would you have clients that were
looking for certain things and you knew what they wanted
and could buy those.

Speaker 20 (01:28:38):
What you were talking about now. In the trade was
known as plums yep, okay. Sometimes you'd have a vehicle
on your yard. It was maybe in demand or something
and another deal. We would ring you up and say, listen, Tom,
I've got a plum for you here.

Speaker 13 (01:28:53):
What's in it for me?

Speaker 20 (01:28:54):
If they bring them around? And that's the way it worked.
And the Southern Cross Pub that was the dealer's mating
making place and a lot of paying was going on
and squaring up in the evenings, you know. So yeah,
they were good days back then. Well most people.

Speaker 3 (01:29:11):
Irackon it sounds like it sounds like a barrel of laughs.
I reckon, Well it was.

Speaker 20 (01:29:17):
It was, definitely, and I'm clear, I'm survived. Put it
that way.

Speaker 3 (01:29:22):
And did that all change because the jap imports? Did
that change everything? Or did something else change at all?

Speaker 20 (01:29:27):
Or you just got out of No, No, I don't really,
I don't really know what changes. What the main thing
was in Wellington anyway, was the lack of available premises.

Speaker 3 (01:29:39):
Yeah, I thought, so I ran.

Speaker 20 (01:29:41):
Got they ain't got too deer, or it got developed
and you just couldn't couldn't afford it, you know. But
I was only in the business for about five or
six years with a couple of mad irishmen and we
had a lot of fun.

Speaker 12 (01:29:53):
Put it that way.

Speaker 3 (01:29:53):
He would you have great weeks where you'd make a
fortune and feel like a millionaire come the weekend. In
weeks when it was bad. Is it how it works?
It was sort of highs and lows.

Speaker 20 (01:30:02):
Definitely, definitely.

Speaker 3 (01:30:04):
It's an exciting way to live.

Speaker 20 (01:30:06):
It was what I should spend a lot of time
out of town going to Auckland buying vehicles. And I
arrived back one Thursday night and one of my partners
of the business was at the pub when I went
up there and he said, oh, you're back. Reached in

(01:30:27):
his pocket, probably had a bigger water note, since this
is your share of the profits for the week. And
that's the way it worked.

Speaker 3 (01:30:39):
Where would you get the cars at Orphan from the cafes?

Speaker 8 (01:30:42):
No, no, no.

Speaker 20 (01:30:44):
In those days, I chased the paper, the Herald in
the morning, early morning Herald, and get the vehicles that
were you know, were either easily saleable or they're a
good price. And I go around and get money, money
out of the bank and offer them.

Speaker 3 (01:31:00):
Cash from private sales.

Speaker 20 (01:31:03):
Private sales definitely, well, yep, yeah, thrive it sales. I
was buying mainly four wheel drives like old land Rovers
to add a land cruisers, that sort of thing we dealt,
and mainly a lot of anyway, and.

Speaker 3 (01:31:16):
This did you say, this is the mid seventies that
when you said it was yep, okay, And you'd have
to transport those down not by rail. They'd go buy
a car transporter.

Speaker 20 (01:31:25):
No I had I had people.

Speaker 2 (01:31:27):
Oh, here we go you guys.

Speaker 20 (01:31:29):
I knew guys that would drive them down head to Wellington,
just just for a trip to Wellington. No payment in
the air fee back to Auckland. They just wanted a
trip to Wellington.

Speaker 2 (01:31:41):
Wow. Yeah.

Speaker 20 (01:31:43):
And the things are a lot cheaper than everything was
cheaper pet petrol fees. Everything was cheap.

Speaker 5 (01:31:51):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (01:31:51):
So you'd buy you buy the paper, go and buy
them ringing mate, they got a land over here, you
come and pick it up this address and they drive
down to wellingsin for.

Speaker 20 (01:31:59):
You yep, yep. Or I'd take it round of their
house or they're flat and say, hey, you want to
come down to Welling. I'd never normally come there too.

Speaker 3 (01:32:08):
Oh you drive down with them too, because you'd be started.

Speaker 20 (01:32:12):
Sometimes there have three or four vehicles. I can remember
buying a land rover with a blooming a vehicle trailer
on the back of it, and I put another put
another land Rover on the back of that, and they
throve both of them down.

Speaker 3 (01:32:29):
There'd be some great books by cardidders because the good stories.

Speaker 20 (01:32:34):
Well, they were most of the guys in those days
are all characters. Everybody in the car business was a character.

Speaker 3 (01:32:41):
I completely agree with that, with the way it be, Tom,
I got guys got breaking news, but thank you so much.
Gavin Marcus, welcome breaking news about the far and Coomia.

(01:34:26):
Gail ats Marcus, welcome, good evening. Hi Gail, Hi, how
are you market here? What's happening?

Speaker 5 (01:34:33):
Well, I'm driving home from the Coldplay concert. It was
absolutely amazing, a mussy show. And yes, I agree that
Taffic has been something else. We have been in gridlock.
But I was very lucky. I saw and aired on
a local community page that said, hey, if you want

(01:34:54):
to park for Coldplay, you know, paid a dollar amount
of sixty five and I thought, I'm going to take
a chance one block away from Eden's Park, and so
up paid and my husband said, our better. You've been
scammed while I wasn't. It was perfect parking. It took
us one minute to get to the stadium, and well,

(01:35:16):
I'm on my way home now and everybody else is
trying to catch the buses and the pace.

Speaker 3 (01:35:21):
Goodness, Now this is interesting. Now it was sixty five
dollars to park. How many cars were there?

Speaker 5 (01:35:27):
We saw three, but he could have got in another couple.
So maybe people didn't trust it.

Speaker 3 (01:35:34):
What's a good system. And you know, next time we're
to go to won't you because you're plably young Friday
night as well?

Speaker 18 (01:35:38):

Speaker 5 (01:35:40):
I would love to, But at least I said I
have his number.

Speaker 3 (01:35:43):
Now, yeah, that's that's amazing, okay. And the concert was
exactly what you imagined. Tell me a bit about that.

Speaker 22 (01:35:52):
It was probably better.

Speaker 5 (01:35:53):
Chris Martin is an amazing performer. He did his full step.
It was like bolls and whistles. It was just funny,
you know, you know, they gave you these things you
put around your wrists, and the lust shone and they
had halt in the audience.

Speaker 3 (01:36:12):
It was just saying, hang on, hang on, Gail, what
did you put around your wrist?

Speaker 5 (01:36:18):
Well, it's like wristbands that they had programmed and then
all different large shoon and as they went around the stadium,
you could basically see little hoarse in the stadium. And
they had fire works and you put these glasses on
and it could look like they were half.

Speaker 3 (01:36:37):
Well that's an interesting but at okay, So they could
turn different areas wristbands on at different times, is that right?

Speaker 13 (01:36:46):
Yes?

Speaker 5 (01:36:46):
Yes, And there would be like one, you know, one
panel of heart on across from you and to the
right of you, and got the big balloons that everybody bounces.
It was spectacular. I just loved it. And you know
Chris mart And he's got such a good heart.

Speaker 23 (01:37:05):
You know, he spoke about love.

Speaker 5 (01:37:07):
You know, he said there was like sixty thousand people
in the audience tonight. Everybody loved one another. You know,
we are good people. He left coming to New Zealand,
he was very excited.

Speaker 3 (01:37:20):
Is your wristband still blowing? Is your wristband still glowing now?

Speaker 5 (01:37:25):
No, because we had to give it back to be recycled.

Speaker 3 (01:37:29):
Oh I see, yeah.

Speaker 16 (01:37:34):
Yes.

Speaker 5 (01:37:35):
On Friday night, the recycled wristbands will be handed out
again and as a match of interest, they said more
than concert. There was only a return of eighty six percent,
so we were going.

Speaker 3 (01:37:48):
To try beat that to not Oh, I see, he's
got you on board with the whole recycling. And did
they I'm looking at the wristbands. It looks like it's
going about eight different things, around twelve different things. Did
they go different colors as well?

Speaker 5 (01:38:03):
All different colors?

Speaker 18 (01:38:05):
It was?

Speaker 5 (01:38:05):
It was really good.

Speaker 3 (01:38:07):
Wish what will they think of next? I'm glad you
rang and told me about that. Now, tell me was
the stage in the middle of the rugby field?

Speaker 5 (01:38:15):
Yes, it was. It was like an aisle that ran
all the way down and it had a circle at
the end of it, and there were two little circles
like on the side of the stage and he would
run up and down and go to both sides.

Speaker 14 (01:38:27):
Ok He was just terrific.

Speaker 3 (01:38:30):
And were you in the were you in the seated
stands or were you on the field?

Speaker 5 (01:38:34):
Now I was in the seated stands. I can't go
onto those. General ignitionis I would have a.

Speaker 3 (01:38:40):
Heart attack, Okay. And no one was dancing in front
of you. You could see properly.

Speaker 5 (01:38:46):
No, everybody was dancing. We were all up dancing. It
was fantastic. I had no issues whatsoever. Even the food
our shows was okay.

Speaker 3 (01:38:56):
Wow, and fancy that and fantasy getting on the on
the community Facebook page to get the parking. That's brilliant exactly.

Speaker 3 (01:39:19):
Great, yes, yeah, And uh were two things.

Speaker 23 (01:39:24):
I thought a glass of champagne was in a cup
and he met it out like maybe eighteen millions, Like
it was about about two centimeters worse than the bottom
of it was thirty dollars.

Speaker 3 (01:39:37):
Wow.

Speaker 17 (01:39:39):
Like I took a picture.

Speaker 23 (01:39:40):
I can't show you, but it was a paper cup
and it literally had like two fingers.

Speaker 6 (01:39:44):
That was the one.

Speaker 23 (01:39:46):
Really, Yeah, but you should know, I guess that concerts
is never going to be cheap.

Speaker 3 (01:39:53):
But hang on, hang on, who ordered that, Kelly?

Speaker 18 (01:39:58):
I did?

Speaker 7 (01:39:58):
I've gotta I sort.

Speaker 23 (01:40:00):
Of treat myself to a glass, to a cup of
champagne isn't a paper cup, but it was like a
large McDonald's paper.

Speaker 3 (01:40:06):
Cub and it was thirty it was. It was thirty
dollars and two centimeters.

Speaker 23 (01:40:12):
Yeah, it was like he poured it into a shot,
like a large shot.

Speaker 22 (01:40:16):
So it must have been.

Speaker 23 (01:40:18):
About eighty millimeters. Miller eaters, it's there a double it was.

Speaker 5 (01:40:23):
It was tiny.

Speaker 23 (01:40:23):
Honestly, I've never seen anything like that.

Speaker 3 (01:40:25):
Wow, what would you then do with it?

Speaker 8 (01:40:28):
Did you?

Speaker 5 (01:40:28):
Did?

Speaker 8 (01:40:28):
You? Did? You?

Speaker 3 (01:40:29):
Your goodness?

Speaker 23 (01:40:31):
I told pictures sent everybody, but it was network overloads,
so you couldn't send any picture. I was incredulous, my mates.

Speaker 3 (01:40:41):
I think you might have ordered the wrong thing.

Speaker 23 (01:40:44):
I think I should have just got some cruising preciate.

Speaker 3 (01:40:48):
You should have preloaded.

Speaker 23 (01:40:51):
Two old to pre loads. I'll never get up in
the morning. But what has happened? On the way home.

Speaker 22 (01:40:56):
There's these diversions.

Speaker 23 (01:40:58):
You know, we're trying to get onto the Northwestern Motorway
and there's a detour because there are roads closed. So
we tried to get on a point Sheheve and it
sent us up to Avondale's. They don't have enough detour
signs up, so everyone's now tuning up Roadsebank Road to
get onto the Northwestern and we drove all the way
along Roads Bank Road and people flashing. I didn't know why.

(01:41:18):
I thought my lights must have been off or something.

Speaker 14 (01:41:20):
But we got to all the.

Speaker 23 (01:41:21):
Way to the end of Roads Bank Road. You've got
to turn around to come all the way back now,
and there's no signs on like Great North Road. So
I'm presuming I have to turn right and go around
New Lynn and Kelston and Glenn. It's it's a miss
the road groups.

Speaker 3 (01:41:36):
Yeah, i'd go, Yeah, I'd go right road. I'd go. Yeah,
that's a hussle because you don't have to get on
I'd go Great North Road where you're heading for.

Speaker 23 (01:41:47):
I'm just I'm trying to get I'm trying to get
back out to QM you and I'm just driving.

Speaker 3 (01:41:52):

mess of fire and coom You behind the insed t
A's place. Oh yes, yes, there's a very big fire

Speaker 22 (01:42:19):
Okay, right, Well, I don't know.

I think I'll just have to hit out like Henderson's
Bellley and round that. Yes, there's no detail anyway, So
don't go up roasting. We're thinking you're going to get
on the motorway, Well you won't.

Speaker 3 (01:42:33):
It's a good thing giving it too much to drink,
isn't it.

Speaker 6 (01:42:37):
Exactly?

Speaker 5 (01:42:38):
I have been making a real mess.

Speaker 3 (01:42:39):
Would well with your two sentiments, you'll be fine if
anything to drink is a three dollars campaign. Two sentiments, Kelly,
thank you for that. I enjoyed that. Yes, what would
you order? You wouldn't order that? Cheapers love you, Kelly.
Thank you, Bob, Marcus welcome.

Speaker 15 (01:42:56):
Oh you're Marcus.

Speaker 3 (01:42:57):
Good Bob.

Speaker 2 (01:42:58):
What's Oh?

Speaker 15 (01:43:00):
Just tell you I'm just traveling from wester now rather.

Speaker 7 (01:43:04):
Yep tonight.

Speaker 15 (01:43:06):
But it just reminded me of a friend of mine
years and when we're at Wellington High School. He would
regularly go off at lunch dride go to a different
car yards. He was we were only fourteen fifteen, and
he would I don't know how he did it. Dately

(01:43:28):
he would calm his car yard to take in his
card to his father's fire station to see if his.

Speaker 14 (01:43:36):
Father would want to buy the car.

Speaker 11 (01:43:38):
Really and we're to state for.

Speaker 15 (01:43:40):
Cruising around Wellington. We're orige created go take it back
and thanks. We'll come back tomorrow and have a look
at that one. And he would do this regular.

Speaker 3 (01:43:49):
It's a good story. Well so okay, well okay.

Speaker 15 (01:43:54):
And then and then before he split to Australia in
nineteen eighty five, he sold at each Texas three different
people to get his car to get a stick at.

Speaker 3 (01:44:10):
How did he end up? What happened to him in
the end, Bob, Uh.

Speaker 15 (01:44:16):
He kind himself into a bit of trouble here in
New Zealand, so I can imagine he put himself over
to Australia, but the same thing happened over there. He
got himself into trouble over there. Jump back he is.
But now he's back over and if he can't come
back to New Zealand.

Speaker 3 (01:44:33):
A good story, Bob. Nice to hear from you. Thank you, Hi,
Steve Marcus, welcome are you?

Speaker 11 (01:44:42):
Marcus? Just meeting the League fighters on tomorrow with Mike
guys and then Jake Paul red flight will game hang on?

Speaker 3 (01:44:50):
I don't think it's tomorrow, is it?

Speaker 15 (01:44:52):
Well?

Speaker 11 (01:44:53):
Well, I was lucky shot lucky Fox News tonight. That's
just on tomorrow and the Stake.

Speaker 3 (01:45:00):
No, I don't. I think it's on Saturday. I think
the last episode of the TV series. He's it's on
Saturday night. Oh yeah, I'm pretty sure. And look, I
don't know how good Dan? Do you know how much
it costs? You got to it's on Netflix. Damn, we've
got to pay for it, I think, don't you.

Speaker 11 (01:45:23):
Yeah, probably you're probably gonna pay for Hang.

Speaker 3 (01:45:26):
On, hang On Dance Dances. It's free if you've got Netflix.
But I'm not quite sure about that.

Speaker 11 (01:45:31):
Yeah, I've got Nextflix. I've got guy Sport but you know, yeah,
to one of the paper.

Speaker 3 (01:45:41):
Maybe whenever. Everyone wants Tyson to win, but the but
the betters have got someone else to win.

Speaker 11 (01:45:50):
Oh they've got there. They've got the younger guys, but
they've got the guy. But he fighting is a next
man at Last type of guy.

Speaker 3 (01:45:59):
Well, no, I think he's a he's a social media
he's not really any sort of a guy. It's just
sort of a self publicist that's got good at fighting,
I think. But I don't think he's ever done a
proper sanctioned official fight before. This one isn't either.

Speaker 11 (01:46:13):
Ah right, Oh my god, yea yea, oh my god.

Speaker 3 (01:46:18):
I'll try and find out if it's free on Netflix,
because I didn't think it would be, but I thought
it'd be a big money maker. But yeah, Jake Jake
Paul to win a dollar forty four, Mike Tyson to
win three dollars twenty five.

Speaker 11 (01:46:30):
Oh well that's weird.

Speaker 3 (01:46:33):
Yeah, well it is fifty eight. It's on two pm
on the sixteenth in today's the thirteenth, so it's two
pm on Saturday.

Speaker 11 (01:46:43):
Oh right, yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:46:45):
Yeah, but could someone text me through if it's free people,
or apparently if you've got Netflix, it's concluded in that.
So there you go, Steve. I'll be watching it.

Speaker 11 (01:46:56):
Ah right, yeah, how do you want to go, Steve?

Speaker 3 (01:46:59):
Steve, did you watch did you watch the TV show
about the fight?

Speaker 22 (01:47:05):
No?

Speaker 11 (01:47:05):
I no, I didn't watch it.

Speaker 3 (01:47:06):
No, no, Steve, that's on Netflix if you want to
watch it. It's quite a good watch.

Speaker 11 (01:47:12):
Alright, yoh oh that's quite good.

Speaker 3 (01:47:14):
Yeah, okay, Jack, glad I put him together.

Speaker 7 (01:47:17):
He would have know.

Speaker 3 (01:47:19):
Marcus. Just back to our hotel in the city after Coldplay.
Amazing night. We easily got a train crowd or well
behaved cheese either. Is it our Heather wouldn't be our Heather,
is it? Well, she hasn't texted Heather could be our Heather.

(01:47:42):
She wouldn't be acutally seven, they would she? Anyway, there
we go. Of course everyone's well behaved and no one's drunk.
It gets champagne thirty dollars for two centimeters Marcus. Where
I was around eighteen, we lived by the Caryards and
Taka and then he friends would come over to never Coward,
walk to the Caryard, take one for test drive to

(01:48:04):
get supplies from the wholesalers, drop them home, and then
returned the car. I love those stories. That's what people
did before Fortnite. Oh so relieved that we'd have to
get on a phone tue to order that boxing fight
because there was a line call on whether I should
get it or not, because I'm not entirely sure that

(01:48:26):
the kids should be watching it. But they did. I said,
did he really bite that guy's ear off? I said, well,
not really, but you know, he did bite it. I
kind of sold them. I sold them to watch the
documentary more on his love of pigeons, because we're always
discussing whether we should get homing pigeons or not that

(01:48:47):
was our Entrey into that. I think I sure a
birthday with him too, so it was a double Entrey introh.
It's going to be a big Saturday, big weekend, the
sport Escape room, the boxing, teball league, softball, something else.
Big plan this weekend.

Speaker 18 (01:49:07):
What was it?

Speaker 3 (01:49:09):
Something very significant? I can't remember chopping down gorse. Oh,
I'm gonna take the kids camping. That's right, Well, mightn't
after the rugby on Oh yeah, we will will go
at Sunday morning. Who wants to talk if you want
to get involved? Marcus till twelve. I think I've got

(01:49:31):
some long winded stories to tell you before the end
of the show about car deals and selling cars. Marcus
just got back with the wife from the Coldplay concert,
one of the best I've seen up there with Rod
from the mission.

Speaker 18 (01:49:45):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (01:49:47):
Marcus Paul versus Tyson will stream live on Netflix. In
an unprecedented move, the fight will not be on pay
per view. It will be available to all existing and
new subscribers. If you want to stream major sporting events
while you're traveling or watching from abroad, you'll need a VPN.
That's great information. Well, we all accounts. Taylor Swift had

(01:50:10):
done the whole thing with the wristbands already, so it's
kind of second bite to the cherry for Chris Martin.
So there we go. But it's not disparait. People seem
to love it, Lynn, Marcus, welcome, Hello Marcus.

Speaker 24 (01:50:21):
Yes, I absolutely love the Cold Place. I think it's
actually the best concert I've ever seen.

Speaker 5 (01:50:29):
In my life.

Speaker 10 (01:50:30):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (01:50:32):
What was your previous best one ever? Lynn?

Speaker 24 (01:50:36):
I think my previous was actually justin Bieber good.

Speaker 7 (01:50:42):
Wow.

Speaker 24 (01:50:44):
Yeah, and look, Pink was also right up there. Pink
was amazing.

Speaker 3 (01:50:48):
Well, she flew, she flew over the audience, didn't she
up and down these goes again?

Speaker 5 (01:50:53):
Yep, she did, she did.

Speaker 24 (01:50:54):
But there was just something really special about cold places tonight.

Speaker 17 (01:50:58):
Wow.

Speaker 24 (01:50:59):
And atmosphere was amazing, and you know, the little ristbands
was really cool. What else was there?

Speaker 12 (01:51:08):
Oh?

Speaker 17 (01:51:08):
There was big.

Speaker 24 (01:51:09):
Balloons, balls going around and lots of sustainability focused with
connect energy. You know, if you were jumping on these
certain floors then it was powering the concert for Friday nights,
and there was some bicycles and things where you could
generate power.

Speaker 3 (01:51:29):
So goodness, did you hand did you hand your wristband back?

Speaker 13 (01:51:33):
Yes?

Speaker 6 (01:51:33):
I did?

Speaker 3 (01:51:34):
And no trouble with your car or getting home? Was
your car park far away?

Speaker 5 (01:51:39):
Ah?

Speaker 23 (01:51:39):
Well we caught the bus.

Speaker 24 (01:51:41):
Back to the North Shore to Alphony bus stations. And
you're actually really really simple. You know, obviously a lot
of crowds.

Speaker 3 (01:51:49):
But was it just hang on? Was that a prayer?
Does that just an ordinary bus route? Was that a
prayer arranged bus?

Speaker 14 (01:51:56):
Ah?

Speaker 24 (01:51:57):
That was the special event buses?

Speaker 3 (01:52:00):
And where did they leave from?

Speaker 5 (01:52:03):
Right from Eden Park?

Speaker 3 (01:52:04):
Oh that was good. Okay, so you've had a place
to go and there was a bus as soon as
you got there that took you all on ye, well
well biggy.

Speaker 24 (01:52:14):
Paddles, yeah, straight to the north Shore.

Speaker 3 (01:52:17):
Oh there were people singing on the way home.

Speaker 24 (01:52:21):
No, I think we were all of the tired come
on the dancing and singing.

Speaker 3 (01:52:26):
The oh lovely land, nice to hell. Please the buses work, well,
that's always good to have a transport. Guys. That's great,
nig your Marcus, good evening.

Speaker 25 (01:52:35):
Good evening, dear Marcus. So you're a fanboy or cold
Play or not? No, it's not my thing, not yours
genre of music.

Speaker 3 (01:52:45):
How about yourself? Uh?

Speaker 25 (01:52:48):
Yeah, if they come to a full Sypher Stadium years
I'd go okay, with.

Speaker 3 (01:52:52):
The idea'd be up there with the bracelet, the colored bracelet.

Speaker 25 (01:52:55):
Yeah, I'd take a colored bracelet. It was a mandated
to hand the bracelets back in.

Speaker 3 (01:53:00):
They're going to recycle them because a lot of plastic,
lot of plastic tech to make for forty fifty people.
So they get three days out and I suppose they
put them in the box and take them to the
next concert. I imagine that's how it works.

Speaker 25 (01:53:11):
But what if someone wanted to treasure or take it
home and treasure Well, I think I think.

Speaker 3 (01:53:17):
I think the psychology was they said, our record for
having them returned is eighty seven thousand, so eighty seven percent.
So people think, oh, well, we want to beat that.
You know how people are. So what they've done is
they've all thought, oh well.

Speaker 7 (01:53:29):
Let's do that.

Speaker 3 (01:53:29):
They will hender them back and say fair enough, that
seems like quite a nice gesture.

Speaker 25 (01:53:34):
Yeah, yes, you could always buy the merchandise, you know,
the T shirt and whatever else they've always got.

Speaker 3 (01:53:40):
Merchandise, and ask them about merchandise.

Speaker 25 (01:53:44):
And no anti social people get arrested. As an Auckland tonight,
the pre said, an easy night.

Speaker 3 (01:53:51):
I think I think they are fairly I think they
are you feely high, I think, but the sort of
people that I'm riot the Coldplay crowd.

Speaker 25 (01:53:57):
No, no, I didn't expect a riot, but yeah, where
there's been some anti social people at them.

Speaker 6 (01:54:04):
Yeah, I don't.

Speaker 3 (01:54:05):
I think you'd be hard pressed to find people go
back at the cold Play. But yeah, and I'll tell
you what, I'm gonna have to go. And I I
just realize that a little bit out of time. No,
I've enjoyed the conversation with you, but that's it for me. People.
