Dont forget thatr you cant reister any car over 10yrs old in NZ, so if you
buy a cheapy and its life is nearly over ...to the wreckers we will go after
you finish with it, unless it has a reasonable rego left.

Hi Freda,
thanks for answare.
I'm sorry but my English is not so good so I need an expleanin....
can I buy a car older than 10 years old or not?
What do you mind with "reasonable rego left"?
Thanks
Matteo

Matteo,
As I understand it You cant run it on the road. It cant be registered to run
on road
If you are able to buy it you would not be able to drive it on the road
Reasonable rego left means that the registration that is current has at
least a few months left before expiring and needing to be registered again,
which may not occur di=ue to being over 10 years old.
Perhaps some local New Zealander can clarify the rules on this matter as I
am going from memory of about 5 years ago.

I think you are mistaken... you can register a car which is over 10 years
old as long as it has a current warrant of fitness.

For your info registration costs about $200 per year and a warrant is about
$40 for 6 months (cars less than 5 year old a warrant will last for 1 year).
Make sure any car you buy has a few months left before both of these expire.
You don't need insurance in NZ, but it is a good idea.

There are tonnes of car yards around auckland and the auction is also a good
place.
Good Luck
Kath

Hi,

Don't know where you got that info from... I have a 18 year old car
(1986) which is registered and perfectly legal to drive on the road (And
yes despite the e-mail address I do live in NZ). We get a reminder
through the post each time the registration is due for renewal which
states the make/model and age of the car so the LTSA (Land Transport
Safety Authority) certainly know it is over 10 years old.

Also a few months back I saw a vintage car rally parked up in the Domain
en route to the North Shore - there was a street legal (ie registered
and with current Watrrant Of Fitness) 1907 Ford amongst them (the
youngest was from the 1950s) - certainly a little over 10 years old.

I have three cars and they are all over ten years old! The oldest is a 1966
Austin 1100 and they all are used regularly and they are all legal! In fact
if you have a car over 40 years old, it is considered a collectable and the
registration drops from about $200 a year to $40 a year.
Good places to look for a car is www.turners.co.nz www.trademe.co.nz or any
of the trade and exchange type newspapers in every centre. Be aware that
most people buy in Auckland and try to sell in Christchurch so there is a
glut of cheap travelers vehicles in Christchurch. I am trying to sell a
camper van right now (email me if you are interested! shameless spam!!) for
some German friends who paid $2500 in Auckland and now, even with a new
engine in it, I can't get much interest at $1700 here in Christchurch.

Regards

Nigel in NZ

I have 2 cars made in 1981 and have no trouble registering them to run on
the road. The only country with a 10 year rule that I know of is Singapore,
and even there you can buy a second 10 year life.
