VIR™ Testimonials

Recent comments from people who have purchased a VIR from New Zealand's most comprehensive car history check service.

Inconsistent odometer

"Thanks to the information we received from the VIR we were able to get a reduction in the price of the car, due to the inconsistent odometer readings."

Rose Joblin,
Swanson

I nearly bought a car in Auckland yesterday that had an odometer reading of 135,000 --- but the VIR report I got on it stated it had already done 195,765 kilometres. Hence the owner had wound the odometer back and was trying to make a quick buck.

Water damage

"The VIR advised us that there might be considerable water damage to the car, and that this could cause difficulties in the future."

Rachel Walsh,
Torbay

"Thanks for the report. You saved me from buying a car that had been badly water damaged."

Oscar Robertson,
Red Beach

Confidence

"The VIR gave me the confidence to write out a cheque for my new car, because I knew that if there had been any problems with it, the report would have picked up on them."

Melanie Williams,
Papakura

"Getting the VIR check done meant that we knew exactly what we were getting for our money. Since we were only here for a short time, it was important to us to get a reliable car that we wouldn't have to spend any money fixing and could also easily re-sell when it was time to go home. "

Chris Kennedy,
UK

"The car we did the VIR on had some issues that we didn't want to deal with and were not told about, so am very grateful for the report."

Pam Vaughan,
Dunedin

"What an easy and cheap way to get peace of mind when purchasing a vehicle - in 10 minutes I had all my questions answered with the VIR and considering the cost of the vehicle, the VIR cost next to nothing. I wouldn't hesitate to use your great service again. Thank you."

Liz Crawford,

Motor industry

"The VIR is a very simple and effective process for us when we are trading or purchasing vehicles. The VIR's automatic analysis of a vehicle's history takes away any room for human error and adds great value to the report. We are able to tell straight away if there is anything we need to know about, and we also have all the correct vehicle details for further use."

"Thanks to the information we get from the VIR we can now confidently on-sell vehicles without the risk of misrepresentation, it certainly has huge advantages having all the information at hand immediately."

Steve Coley
Finance and Insurance Manager
Schofields of Newmarket

"You have revolutionised the way we purchase/trade vehicles to a one step process, with full ownership, vehicle identification and financial charges, together with vehicle appraisal facility as well as change of ownership ability.

On the sales side, we can give the consumer full information/history of the vehicle, with secure title, as well as completing the change of vehicle ownership to the customer while they are in our office.

Thanks, and well done."
