Hi all,
How much does it cost to run a car in NZ ?
Here are some figures for the UK: (with NZ prices as of today from xe.com)
These are based on my 1800cc (1.8L - hehe) Renault Laguna Privilege.
Petrol (normal unleaded) is about 97p per litre (NZD $2.77)
Road fund licence (the dreaded road tax) - £150 per year (NZD $428) depends on emmissions.
MOT - same as WOF - Yearly for cars over 3 years old only - varies £35 approx
Fully comprehensive insurance - £350 with £100 excess payment - NZD $ 1,001 per annum
It costs about £56 to fill up the tank with unleaded (12 gallons ?) NZD $160
You register the car once when you buy it new... second hand owners just change the ownership docs over at the cost of a stamp.
How does this compare with NZ prices and systems ?
Regards,
Dozzer
