Welcome!
Kia Ora! I enjoyed your country when I visited in February 2020 and I can't wait to go back some day. I was taking pictures of nearly every car the United States doesn't have, Commodore Utes, Ranger Raptors, etc. Also those great walks on the south island are truly incredible. Welcome!I might be the only Kiwi here so far it seems.
My current cars are a brand new 2022 Suzuki Ignis LTD and a 2018 Holden Commodore VXR (aka Vauxhall/Opel Insignia GSi aka Buick Regal GS).
I missed out on the GR Yaris because only a couple of hundred were sold new here although we are seeing ex JDM cars appearing on the second hand market. I fear only several hundred CR Corollas will be offered here which may mean I miss out as well.
Three years ago I looked seriously at buying a 2017 Ford Focus RS with 3000km on the clock. The dealer wanted NZ$56k for it. Fast forward to recently the same dealer has a 2016 RS on the lot with 33000km on it for NZ$66k. Thats almost as much as they retailed for when new. Used car prices are insane right now due to the global supply chain issues.The economy is turning to shit and there are interest rate rises every 6 weeks. Somehow I think that by 2023 they will not be able to give these away in New Zealand because new car sales are going to fall off a cliff and there will be the biggest sell off of cars that have been just sitting in a garage somewhere you have ever seen.
