Our TikTok Went Viral — And We’re Just Rolling With It

A few weeks ago, we uploaded what we thought was just another fun TikTok — something light-hearted from the yard with a few dance moves and a cheeky jab at the classic “how low can you go?” customer question.

At the time, it got some laughs, a few shares… and then things escalated. Fast.

The video hit 2 million views in a matter of days. That’s when Stuff picked up the story and gave us a bit of unexpected spotlight. If you saw their write-up, you know the hype was already kicking off back then.

But here’s the wild part — that same video has now hit 7.8 million views, and it’s still going.

That’s millions of people watching what’s essentially three lads in a car yard just being themselves — or are they?

We’ve had a lot of comments asking:

  • “Are these guys actually salespeople?”
  • “Do they really work there?”
  • “Is this just a group of mates with camera skills?”

And honestly? We’ll leave it to you to figure out. Part of the fun is the mystery!

What we can say is that the humour, energy, and good vibes are all real — and clearly it’s something people are connecting with. Since that first viral video, we’ve had customers show up just to see “the guys from TikTok.” Others message us daily asking how to join the team or just to say they love what we’re doing.

We’ve also seen people from all over the world comment, saying it’s the most entertaining thing they’ve seen on their For You Page in ages. Not bad for a local car yard!

At the end of the day, NZ Cheap Cars has always been about keeping things real. We’re here to help people find good cars without all the pressure and salesy nonsense. If we can have a laugh along the way — even better.
