Just picked up the last 2 bottles in Wairau park Supercheap Auto. The salesman said they were flying out the door and he wouldn't be getting fresh stock until next week.

I've never seen it this cheap, it must be a loss-leader, or maybe its because the NZ$ is strong at the moment?

Pretty sure it must be a typo, given that it says "Save $11" when it's $40 odd cheaper than normal.

What matters is not whether it's a typo, but whether they honour the deal. :lol:

Which they do!

People at Dunedin better be quick, gf got some for me at their (only) store, heh

I really think it must be a typo. I went into the Lyall Bay SC, the shelf was suspiciously empty of 5w30 and they were already advertising the Bathurst special price of $44... no we don't have any stock and we don't do rain checks :angry:

Has to be. That's cheaper than our buy price & we get a pretty good deal on Castrol due to our parent company who use it in all their 70+ dealerships here & aussie.

When I went in to get some (Hamilton mill st) the shelf price was listed as $44, so I bought one thinking thats still pretty cheap, but they only charged me $29.97, so I got two more :)

Kapiti had one bottle left after I had got off the phone with them. They're holding 3 bottles for me, to pick up in the morning.

So basically the Wellington region all out of stock also, no restocking orders.

OK, got my 3 bottles. The other bottles in the store had been put aside for people, so Paraparaumu is out of stock now also.

The special is meant to run until the 14th of October. I assume they're going to have to restock or have big empty shelves for 2 weeks.

Looks like Hamilton is out of Castrol 5w30 now. Rang the Maui Street branch (by Cock n Bull) on Friday morning and they had 5 left. Put two on hold. Shot down there on smoko to find one left on the shelf .... so I bought that too :D There were my two and two more for the Mill Street branch on hold behind the counter. So I am guessing that Mill Street must have been out. The guy at Super Cheap said that they had advertised it a the wrong price, but had decided to honor the deal. Pretty sure the price on the shelf said $61.??. So if it was supposed to be a saving of $11.52, then the special price should have been around $49.??. Great saving. Good on you Super Cheap :D :D

It doesn't have serial numbers. You could buy a couple of cheapies, and take one back claiming it was the expensive one (with your receipt, of course!)

If they're doing rain-checks now, I might go and get one so I have 4 bottles sitting around. Then I will have plenty to use for my car servicing for the next 2 years :D
