Question 3

What should I check when buying a used 2013 Holden Cruze in NZ?

Accepted Answer

Identify 1.8 vs 1.4T vs diesel and body style. 1.8: cam-belt and thermostat housing invoices or a price reduction. Diesel: RUC, DMF judder, DPF if fitted. Check coolant level, EPS light and all electrics. Request as much service history as possible — regular servicing matters more than promises from the seller. Run a PPSR check and review WOF history before buying. Compare condition and service records across listings — the best-value example is often the best-kept one, not the cheapest. Holden exited NZ in 2020 — budget independent GM/Isuzu specialists for ongoing parts and servicing.
