Buying a car to ship with 5 week lead time, burning questions!
We're about to buy a car to ship in our container to NZ in about 5 weeks and wondered if anyone could help please?
I've read tons about it so know about deep cleaning, having to pay 15% plus the various fees etc, plus I've already been to NZ and bought a car for my wife (which was an unregistered jap import) and so know about the process, and I still want to do it :) ..
I've chosen the type of car we want but not the individual one, we'll be buying second hand. Before we choose a car, I wondered what we should look out for?
- Is rust allowed at all? Are they fussy about rusty exhaust pipes (which to me is a normal way for an exhaust pipe to look) or will the exhaust need replacing?
- How long does it take to get a statement of compliance from audi? Do I contact audi in the UK or NZ to get it?
- Is it possible to get the engine number 'vetted' before we buy it to solve any of these issues?
- Are there any companies who can help as we have a million other things to do and I dont want to make an expensive mistake?
thanks
Simon
