December Octopodes posted:Do you goons have any advice, recommendations, or warnings? For a $1600 car you are still going to be spending $250-300 on Registration for the Year, 2, 6 monthly inspection $50 ea. and probably $400 to 500 for full insurance cover, which may or may not include your possessions. If you are going to spend all year in it, chances are it worth finding a better/more expensive one then just any random poo poo-box. Those Caribs are nice but a little on the small side if you manage to lure anyone back to you camper. the Lucinda and Estima's are a better, more pricey option. Esp if you are going to spend the year in it. http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/honda/auction-917055672.htm http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/toyota/auction-927206824.htm <--- this one comes with a ton of usefull poo poo that you would need to buy anyway. If you just want a Wagon/ Hatch back to occasionally sleep in then Subaru of sorts or something from Toyota should do you fine. Mitsubishi also make a Galant Wagon called a Legnum http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/mitsubishi/auction-927800331.htm I am unsure if the seat fold flat, but they are fairly cheap compared to some other models. What time of year will you be landing. This can effect the price of cars quite dramatically in certain areas. ie Cheap 4wds and Subaru's in Queenstown go up in price by around a bunch (like 35%) when winter and the sky bums arrive. It should be noted that we have plenty of Cheap/ free camp grounds around the country.
