Importing Mustangs and other cars from the USA

BUYING A CAR FROM THE USA

If you are considering the purchase of a car directly from the USA then the following points may save you a lot of headaches and possibly a lot of money.

1. Reliability

• Can you be sure that the car you have photographs of is the car you will receive in New Zealand?

2. Check

• Would you pay to ensure the car you receive is as described to you? If so have it checked by a reliable source.

3. Import

• Have you considered how you will import your new car into New Zealand?

4. Transport

• Do you want to bring it in by itself or in a container with others to save money?

5. Import License

• Do you have a "License to import"? If not you will need one (depending on circumstances we can supply you with one.)

6. Insurance

• Do you want to insure your vehicle while it is in transit ex USA – cost is approximately 1% of the value of the vehicle? (We can advise on people who will do this for you.)

7. Ports

• Where in New Zealand are you located? Some Ports are more 'user friendly' than others. (We can advise you on this.)

8. Transport within New Zealand

• When your car arrives in New Zealand how does it get from the Port of entry to you? (We can advise on transport.)
