Default Taking a car to NZ from UK

Can anyone advise me on the costs of bringing a car into NZ ? I have researched the container costs but are there other costs when the vehicle has arrived ? I'm thinking reg. costs, MOT, road tax etc. Is it actually worth it ? Anyone done this ?

Any advise welcome. Cheers

MAF inspection $80
cleaning (my figures state compulsory but i'm not sure if this is true) approx $500
AA compliance check $400
a ubiqutous misc (why i didn't right down what it was i don'tknowbut it must have been for something) approx $80
