Service History
Discussion
Do Kiwis not care about service history?
I realise imports tend to have none, but looking at cars on trademe I've found it impossible for most sellers to provide any details. For example, there is a VX220 turbo on at the moment, the seller has never changed the cambelt and has no idea about servicing. I was interested in a motor-home for the summer, but no one seems to record the motor services or have habitation services (and yet they want top dollar). I'd take the risk on a 600GBP shed, but even the equivalent here would be $4k+
And yet, you see so many cars with super high mileages here - presume that is because there is no emissions test on the wof?

Thanks. I brought a car before I moved over - luckily it was a one owner, NZ new car with a full service history. I'll service it myself, but as usual keep all receipts and write down what I did and when. I think I'll just have to inspect cars a little closer when buying a second one and factor in a comprehensive service as soon as I get it!
