I am not sure if anyone has any experience in this but I'll just give it a go.
I have 2 cars in Singapore which I intend to bring over to New Zealand. They are a 2005 Nissan Latio/Tiida and a 2004 Honda Odyssey. Selling them would mean a substantial loss since they won't be fetching much in the current market right now.
I am ok with paying gst, inspection fees, customs charges etc in order to get them through....and doing lots and lots of paperwork if necessary but I understand that not all cars can get through to NZ especially if they are from Singapore. I find this strange since NZ is one of our largest export markets for used cars.
Has anyone had any experience trying to get non-compliant cars through? What procedures do you have to do exactly? No one can give me a straight answer so I am left confused. And I've tried reading through the requirements listed in LTNZ but they are so vague and technicalese, I could be reading another language.
