It was on the boat before the law changed. Prior to April 2010, one could import and register any left hand drive car provided it was for personal use. (There were some restrictions, but that was the gist of it.)
I feel a little silly writing that I drive a PT Cruiser. Chrysler had just gone bankrupt when we were moving, which sort of deflated the market for used PT Cruisers. I could possibly have gotten $6,000 (US) for it, but they were selling for $15k (NZ) at the time. Also, it's the GT model (high output turbo), which makes it a one of a kind car in NZ. My total outlay door to door, including MAF vaccuming and compliance did not exceed $2000 US.
