Importing from UK to NZ

AZN_Ken · 09-02-2015, 06:24 AM

Hi guys, I have been looking for a manual 135i for 4 months now and there is literally only one for sale in the whole of NZ

So now I'm scouring Japan and the UK for one with reasonable amount of mods. Saw a very nicely modded 08 135i on PH but the price is insane. Not sure if it's just because I'm converting the car cost + import cost into NZD but the total came to NZ$71,000 for a 7 year old car

that's pretty much '10 or '11 m3 pricing here.

What are your opinions on the price? http://www.pistonheads.com/classifie...00-bhp/4588675

I doubt the seller will lower the price enough for it to be worth my while but just want a price reference for the future.

Cheers, Ken

It does look like a very good one. 135's hold their value well, now, but it does seem pretty steep. For reference I bought mine in March 2014 on a 58 plate with 50K miles, good standard equipment and stock for a smidge above £14K. That was a bargain at the time!
