My friend Audrey Dampier-Bennett brought a Toyota from Northland Toyota. Now, this is interesting Northland Toyota had a manual for this car because we asked about the gearbox setting and they brought out a manual to show us.

Apparently, the $12000 car did not inclue the manaul, that was an extra $75.00 they have now dropped the price to $50.00 to get me a manual $50.00 I spent nearly $12.000 on the car and they are going to get me to pay $50.00 for the manual.

As you are a branded dealer selling Toyota cars, customers such get a manual regardless of whether it is an import or not. The car was sold by Toyota Northland so you should do the right thing

Knowing your neighbours is one thing, but actually spending time together is to write a much richer story together... an opportunity to have fun, learn more about each other, and recognise that the strings that connect us often run much longer than just the length of our streets.

This month is all about bringing your community together and having a great time! We want March to be all about celebrating the connections we have while making new ones along the way. As we all know, what makes a neighbourhood great isn't the houses and cars, gardens and streets - it's the people who share their presence and aroha with each other.

A wonderful way to take part is to participate in Neighbours Day Aotearoa which is celebrating it's 10th anniversary from March 22nd to 31st. To help you get started, we love their suggestions for 10 little and 10 big ways to get involved. (link below)

Let us know how you're celebrating this month by tagging us in your posts + using the following hashtag so we can see what you get up to:
