Hello All,
Well, we have our itinerary set. We are arriving in Auckland from San Francisco on August 25 at 5am. We will be toting along two small kids. Our plan is to get shuttled to our hotel which will be very close to the airport and chill out for a few hours. We'll have a leisurely lunch and then go on a mad search for a car (one of us will anyway). We have done a bit of research and would prefer a Honda Stream or Odyssey. They seem big enough to carry all our stuff and keep us relatively comfortable for our mini road trip down to Christchurch before the job starts in mid September. Is there a dealership row or some other sort of concentration of dealerships around the airport? Any that specialize in Hondas? We would prefer not to head too far north into Auckland but we could if need be. We have been scouring tradme.com and have found a slew of reasonable cars but we are hoping to concentrate our efforts. Ideally, we pay for the car that day and are on our way out of Auckland in a couple of days. Does this seem to be wishful thinking? Any and all advice is welcome. Thanks and wish us luck!
