I've seen an older thread about importing cars from Japan (via IBC) and as I'm now in the process of replacing our run-about, thought I'd give it a shot. Those older threads didn't really offer much info and are about a year old so thought I'd start a new thread.

On the IBC site there's an estimated CIF (Cost / Insurance / Freight) price but what additional costs should I expect once the car lands in NZ? I'm guessing registration for a start, but is there anything else? Looking at Carwebs the costs to bring a car over seem really high, given I'm only wanting to spend ~5k on a car.
