Hi guys,

looks like i might be moving to nz for a couple of years.... im looking at potentially getting a mini while im there with the possibility of private import back to oz in a couple of years... Does anyone have any info on minis in nz? what to look for? good / bad years etc?

Cheers in advance

Most of those questions reply on what area will you be in and what your budget will be.

The biggest difference you'll find over here when you get off the plane is the refreshing lack of poisonous, bitie, spitty, slithery, wriggly, sharp and just generally unfriendly wildlife trying to kill you

we make sox, gloves & hats out of them :lol:

Unlike many spiders the female Katipo does not kill its mate after breeding.

We had every model mini here in NZ so how bigs your cheque book. If you are used to OZ spec minis they are quite different in Trim and paint work. Join a local Mini club, would be your best bet. Trademe.co.nz is also a good site to search What city are you coming to

NZ would be a great place to buy a Mini, so many interesting choices, and the prices are mostly really good. Not many Mokes though. When I was there last year I found an lovely Wolseley Hornet parked in the street with a sign saying For Sale for 4,000 of those cute little NZ dollars. Tim

I should be on the north island, near wanganui/palmerston north. In terms of spending, i was looking around the 6k nzd mark... (does this seem reasonable?) I saw a couple on trade me that looked pretty nice. I'm surprised with the breadth of selection to be honest!
