Is it that easy buying and selling a car in NZ? Cars often don't sell very fast here unless it's very desirable, but those are usually higher in price. I don't want to lose days or weeks as I try to buy the right car and then feel the pressure of selling it before flying home. |

I do 2 weeks on north island, take a side trip to Kiribati for a week, then continue on with two weeks on the south island. From what I've read it seems the cost of a ferry ride with a car exceeds the cost of a flight from Auckland to Christchurch. Is that true in summer? |
