'My Car is Gorgeous' "I guarantee you this team will not let you down and they will look after you"

My Car is Gorgeous! To the team at Ted Tracey's. I would like to thank you and your team for giving me the opportunity to own a stunning black 4 door sedan Subaru Legacy 2.0 GT turbo, I still can't believe it's mine. I live in Hastings so I was unable to go and view the car. The only evidence I had were pictures from the internet and descriptions via the phone, and due to living so far away of course it had me worried. When I arrived in Auckland everything the team had told me was true. The process is so easy and simple, they are very helpful, and my car is so 'HOT!!' I just can't stop looking at it. Family and friends are looking at your stock. I guarantee you this team will not let you down and they will look after you. They are very professional, trustworthy and honest and this is very rare. A big thank you to Laurie and the whole team once again. Highly recommended A plus plus

"The team at Ted Traceys are a great bunch of good ol' Kiwis"

The team at Ted Traceys are a great bunch of good ol' kiwis. They are down to earth and realistic in regard to all aspects of their cars and sales. The car I purchased from them was my first big buy car wise so I wanted to make sure I was getting exactly what I was after. Once I had sought out two possibilities from them they left it to me to go away and have a think about my options. At no point did they put any pressure on me or make me feel like they were just after money. They are a great team and the sale went down without a single sniff of a hitch and I felt like I was buying a car from a great bunch of mates by the end of it. Once again Ted, thank you very much. Loving the car!

" all the paperwork was completed via phone and fax, the vehicle was on the next ship "

After months of searching car lots who would have thought all we needed to do was pick up the phone. We had our eye on a particular vehicle but just couldn't find one at the right price in Christchurch. A quick web search lead us to Ted Tracey and we have never looked back. We called on Tuesday, all the paperwork was completed via phone and fax, the vehicle was on the next ship and was delivered straight to our door the following Tuesday. No time off work needed. Brilliant! The vehicle is fantastic and Ted made the whole process so easy and we wouldn't hesitate to buy again."

" I had been to half a dozen places before Ted's "

Thanks so much to the team at Ted Tracey's. I had been to half a dozen places before Ted's and found all of them to be selling low quality vehicles with terrible customer service. I knew as soon as I arrived at Ted Tracey's that it was a professional business, from the immaculate showroom to the immaculate cars within. Both Ted and his son Dylan helped me out and went to extra lengths to ensure I had the car that was right for me. All of the paper work was completed quickly and effortlessly. I'm absolutely in love with my new car and I'll be recommending Ted Tracey's to everyone I know! Regards Jarrad Douglas Auckland

" living in Switzerland, called Aaron from Rome, we bought the car "

We had been living in Switzerland and found on the Ted Tracey web site exactly the model of Toyota that we wanted. We sent a mail and then called Aaron from Rome while we were travelling back to New Zealand. We had a mechanical inspection with a report sent to us in Europe with an A 1 result. We arrived in Auckland on the 30th of November and immediately contacted Aaron who arranged an appointment for the next day.We were quite confident when we went to see the car. Aaron had the car ready for us to inspect and test drive. This proved that this was the car for us. On the first of December we bought the car from him. The paper work was prepared and completed simply and to our satisfaction. Thank to Ted Tracey Ltd and Aaron for their efficiency and reliability

" Ted, I congratulate you on calibre of your stock "

Thank you for your complete & undivided attention last Tuesday. I am a convert!!!I just couldn't bring myself to purchase a vehicle sight unseen, hence my visit---but----I have total confidence that any future purchase from you will be just that.Ted,I congratulate you on calibre of your stock & the easy & professional manner with which you handled the sale.Thank you also for the patience shown when I dithered over the selection, a problem caused by your wonderful stock. Thanks also to Lynda & to Jim for all their contributions ( & coffee )---a great team! The road directions you gave ensured a painless exit from the Republic---thank you again. The drive back to Wellington was a sheer delight in this lovely vehicle & even with 3x comfort stops, was inside the back door just on 9 pm & even more remarkably, on about 7/8ths of a tank. It really bucketed down over the Desert Road, visability very poor, road surface similar, & the Voltz handled like a dream---it really has a great footprint! Pauline has not stopped grinning since Tuesday evening & I'll be very lucky to get any time behind the wheel, from here on. Many thanks & best wishes to you & your team, Neil PS Ted, if you encounter any future nervous ones from south of the Bombay's give me a shout---I'll be pleased to give them the real picture.

" I am a 100% happy, purchased sight unseen, I had it shipped to Methven in the South Island "

I purchased a car from Ted Tracey "sight unseen". From images on Ted's web site, and discussions with Ted. I had it shipped to Methven in the South Island. This whole transaction went perfectly, the car was exactly as described, the service from Ted Tracey was brilliant, even the transportation was on time. I am a 100% happy customer even after having purchased a vehicle "sight unseen". Many thanks Ted.

" Thanks Ted for your guidance, help and support. The cars are great "

My wife and I had to buy a new car as the old one was getting on in age. We went to see Ted Tracey as we had bought a car off him before. The first impression of his new showroom was "great". It was welcoming, spotless and he had a great variety of cars on show. Viewing cars out of the wind and rain was a real bonus. The prices were very competitive. Most importantly, the price on the windscreen included on road costs. No hidden costs!!!! Ted had a good handle on what we were after within our limited budget. He showed us a Toyota Voltz which was just what we were after. During the conversation my wife and I also mentioned that at a later date we were looking at buying a second car to replace my work vehicle. Ted worked with our budget, traded in on our old car and in the end we walked away with two new cars, a Toyota Voltz and a Mitsubishi Colt. Not in our wildest dreams had we thought we would have two great cars. Thanks Ted for your guidance, help and support. The cars are great.

" pride in their vehicles and their reputation "

I recently bought a 2006 Subaru Legacy sedan from Ted Traceys and will not hesitate to go back there next time I am looking for a car. Finding late model manual cars isn't always easy now so I was pretty excited when I saw the car on the website. As soon as I entered the showroom it was obvious that the team there take a great deal of pride in their vehicles and their reputation. Aaron was very helpful, professional and relaxed in his approach (unlike many car salesmen!) and the whole process could not have been simpler. I was a little sceptical about buying from a dealer as I had thought I might get a better buy at the auctions but Ted Traceys' prices were very competitive. I'll definitely be recommending them to my friends.

'' Very happy son, whole process over the internet, so easy ''

Purchase of Honda Accord Euro R 2000. This whole process was done via the internet and several phone calls. Our highest recommendations to Aaron Croll our salesman who was absolutely fantastic throughout the whole purchase, he made the process so very easy from first inquiries to purchase to transporting the vehicle down to Wellington, all in a matter of 5 days. You cannot help get skeptical when buying something which is miles away and only seen pictures but dealing with Aaron seemed to be reassuring. Aaron I commend you on your professionalism and I now have one very happy son who is the proud owner of this car. I know this could be an advertisement in itself for Ted Traceys but I will continue to recommend your car sales to anyone who is thinking of purchasing a vehicle in the near future. Thank you again, you made it all so easy.

'' Totally recommend TED TRACEYS, vehicle arrived on transporter ''

I purchased a vehicle from Ted Traceys LMVD in Auckland. The whole deal was done via the internet and several phone calls to Ted Traceys Salesperson Aaron Croll. As I live in Wellington we were totally reliant on Aaron's assistance and professional manner in securing the vehicle. Aaron did not let me down , the vehicle turned up on the back of a transporter ( which Aaron arranged ) on Wednesday afternoon. I am very happy with the vehicle, considering I only saw pictures of the vehicle on the net. I would totally recommend Ted Tracey's to other vehicle buyers and also point out the positive attitude of their salesperson Aaron.

'' The whole process was done through the internet, I'm stoked!! ''

I purchased my 2001 Toyota Will VS from Ted Traceys LMVD The whole process was done through the internet. Ted Traceys website is very good, not only does it supply the normal car info it goes into more detail than most. Contacting Ted Traceys was easy, Aaron from Ted Traceys answered all my questions, quickly and efficiently, even when someone had to go to the warehouse to check specific details I wanted to know, nothing was too much trouble. Not only did I get the answers to the questions I asked, I was also given far more information than I have ever received when purchasing a vehicle. The paperwork was signed and the money changed hands. Then came the photo's of my Will loaded on the transporter, close ups and lots of them and estimated time of arrival of the transporter. My Will arrived, exceeding expectations!!! I'm stoked!!! I would recommend Ted Tracys LMVD, great service, great cars!! Thanks again from a very happy customer.

" the best dealings we've ever had in purchasing a car "

Our son wanted a manual Subaru Sedan(non-turbo!) and after a search on the internet we located one at Ted Tracey's. We rang right away and started one of the best dealings we've ever had in purchasing a car. The Salesperson, Aaron Croll, made it so easy for us as we also wanted to trade. His professionalism and industry knowledge AND super efficient responses to our emails had us heading up to Auckland a week later. We arrived to a super immaculate presentation of showroom and vehicles and in no time at all we completed the purchase with Aaron. Ted Tracey was there too and introduced himself and shook hands - that was really nice and made us feel like valued customers. All the staff were helpful and friendly. No hassles, no pressure. Ted Tracey was flexible with negotiating a mechanical repair shortly after we bought it - true professionals standing behind their agreements. We are very happy.

" I was a bit nervous, however Ted assured me the car was in very good condition "

Ted Tracey Ltd made the purchase of my 2000 Honda Accord Euro-R extremely easy and painless. I was a bit nervous as to what the car would be like as I am from Wellington and could not view the car until I had reached Auckland, however Ted assured me the car was in very good condition, and also arranged for a pre-purchase inspection on the vehicle, and I wasn't disappointed with the car at all. It drives beautifully and is close to immaculate inside and out for it's age. Minor problems with electrics etc in the car found during the pre-purchase inspection were fixed for me before purchase of the car,reassuring me the car would be in good working order. Thanks guys for a really professional, friendly sale. I would recommend you to anyone.

" excellent cars that they have and their after sales service "

'I recently purchased a Mazda Atenza from Ted Tracey Cars and I would have to say the service was great from Aaron. Not long after I purchased the car the engine light in the dash started appearing on the dash. I contacted Aaron and the car was taken straight back in to get fixed at no cost to me. Highly recommend these guys for both the excellent cars that they have and their after sales service'

" customer service at Ted Tracey's is tops too "

I am delighted with the car I bought from Ted Tracey's. It's passed every check and is exactly what I was looking for. But it goes further than that because customer service at Ted Tracey's is tops too. Aaron and Ted couldn't have been more helpful, informative and friendly, but above all they were not pushy or patronizing, very important when dealing with a little old lady who doesn't like mag wheels! Thanks for an enjoyable and relaxed experience of car buying.

" these guys are straight-up and laid back "

There's a feeling of dread I feel walking onto most car-yards. It's kind of like walking into an ambush. Often it seems like the sharks (ie salesmen) are circling, and you, the customer, can easily feel like an unsuspecting snapper or possibly flounder. It doesn't feel like that at Ted Tracey's. These guys are straight-up and laid back. It's a great combination

'' I was impressed by the immaculate presentation of both the vehicles and showroom ''

Purchase of a 2004 Mazda Atenza from Ted Tracey's. Initially we spotted the vehicle on Ted Tracey's beautifully displayed website, this provided us with all the detailed information we required on the car. On entering the premises, I was impressed by the immaculate presentation of both the vehicles and showroom. Aaron Croll was our salesman throughout the entire process. We found him professional and friendly. Ted Tracey's were flexible in negotiating the extras we required with this vehicle. We are very happy with our new vehicle and would gladly recommend them to others.

'' I proudly told them from Ted Traceys in Auckland ''

My Hot Wheels ! I purchased my Mazda Familia through Ted Tracey because of it's fine reputation. Just like any other person I was a bit sceptical about dealing with them via the internet, but from the moment the car salesman (Aaron Croll) contacted me he was very professional, friendly and prompt with any queries or concerns I had. When I arrived home with my new car there were a few issues I needed to discuss with Aaron and he returned my call very quickly after hours. I have been approached by many people about where I had purchased my car and I proudly told them from Ted Traceys in Auckland. The whole process was very fast and efficient for me so I would recommend anyone who is thinking of buying a new car to look no further than the team at Ted Traceys. Awesome team.

'' thanks for going the extra mile for us!!! ''

Finally we found the car we wanted! We had been searching the internet for ages, then we came across this black Mazda Atenza. We fell in love with it right away, the add on the internet was very clear, we phoned that very day and dealt with Aaron on the phone who was very pleasant and helped us with all of our questions. Aaron was great, nothing was a problem, over the phone we had agreed we would come up to Auckland to look and hopefully purchase this car, as it happened we got horribly lost but Aaron kept ringing through to our cell phone every couple of minutes to ensure we were on the right track! Finally we found 'Ted Traceys' and were greeted by Ted himself which I thought was very professional, we sat down to do the paper work which was completed in minutes. The whole process was easy. Wonderful to deal with you guys and thanks for going the extra mile for us!!! Kelly and Marc TOKOROA

'' finance within 1 and a half hours I was driving away in my hot new car!!! ''

I Found my Nissan Mistral on the internet and totally fell in love with it. The website is fantastic and has a large variety of vehicles and is always updated. Emails were replied to promptly , and phone calls were always friendly. I dealt with Aaron Croll at Ted Tracey. He was awesome. very helpfull . I had been having a lot of trouble getting finance with other companies as I am on one income. But within 1 and a half hours I was driving away in my hot new car!!! After sales service was great as well. The stereo that came with it had a pin code and I couldn't listen to music (arrgghhhh not cool when you have teenagers in the vehicle with you) So After a desperate plea via email , Aaron found me the code and we had music and sanity for the driver. Highly recomend Ted Tracey to everyone. Thanks Guys!!! Lana Marris

'' no pressure, a nice firm to deal with ''

I purchased a car from Ted Tracey's in June 2008. From the start the salesman I dealt with (Aaron Croll) was helpful and knowledgeable about the car I was interested in. He made the process easy for me and allowed me to test the car on different days to help me make my decision. Aaron was very easy to deal with and at no time was there any pressure, the car was presented to me well groomed and my trade made easy. I have also been impressed with the after-sales follow up. All in all a nice firm to deal with.

'' beautiful vehicle, we are delighted! ''

My wife wanted a manual gearchange, silver colour Celica and after a search on the Internet we located several including One from Ted Traceys. Normally we buy privately but as the advertised model was a reasonable price in comparison to all others available that we could find, both private and through dealers, so we went to their yard and took it for a drive. We also went and viewed a lower priced private sale model but decided to buy from Ted as the car he had displayed was in beautiful condition. The salesman, Aaron was polite and helpful as was the other salesman and the cleaner was cheerful and helpful also.They did not put any pressure on us to buy. All in all this was an easy purchase and a pleasure to deal with the staff of Ted Traceys. We are delighted with our new purchase.
