Useful beats busy. Evidence beats confidence.

How catalogue pricing is handled

OpenBoot prefers public New Zealand manufacturer pricing, official local specification pages, and clearly attributable public announcements. A record should carry a source URL and a research date. Prices are shown in NZD when a public NZ figure is available.

A listed price is a comparison reference, not a drive-away quote. Registration, licensing, delivery, accessories, finance, insurance, and dealer-specific charges may change the amount a buyer actually pays.

How buying guides are published

Guides must have a defined New Zealand audience, a useful question, a research trail, claim-to-source notes, and a clear relationship to the catalogue. Before publication they are checked for accuracy, clarity, usefulness, and accessibility. Drafts that do not meet that standard remain out of the public route.

Freshness and corrections

Every guide has a published and updated date. If a source changes, we update the relevant record or explain the limitation rather than silently carrying forward an old number.

Found an error? The fastest route is to send the page URL and the source that contradicts it. Corrections should be recorded with the affected source trail, not hidden in a cosmetic edit.

What readers can expect

Published guides include source notes, dates, and relevant limitations. They are written for people comparing a real shortlist, with practical conclusions rather than generic model summaries.
