Buying a car - some useful info

[lin]

I'm looking for a car at the moment & as I'm attracted to all things shiny & not having bought a car before (well, from my family doesn't count!) I need to do a bit of homework so thought I'd share some of the websites I've come across. If anyone has any other useful sites for car buying, please share.

(some of the links may be pinched from previous ENZ threads on car buying - thanks to original posters )

Hi Lin,

I don't know much about buying a car from NZ as I'm not there yet. But I found the following post by 'Dave and Caroline' about Driving in NZ. Perhaps you have already read this, but just in case.
