Moving to NZ, to import car or to sell in UK?
Discussion
Hi all,
Looking for some opinions - I am looking to return to NZ after 9 years in the UK and I am split on whether I should sell my car in the UK or import it to NZ when I return.
It is a 2006 BMW 335i Coupe, 55,000 miles on the clock.
I love the car, but am not sure its worth the hassle going through the import process, and I have heard the Police in NZ enforce the speed limits in a more "enthusiastic" way than they used to back when I lived there (left in 2006). This would probably hamper my ability to enjoy the performance of the car, maybe make it more of a garage queen. I am also concerned about running costs for BMW's in NZ, particularly if it is an import.
Wondering if I am better off selling it here and just picking up a cheap cruiser in NZ.
Thoughts?
