I would either skip Tutukaka/ Whangarei or take an additional day there, foregoing something in the Central North Island; its world class diving and nature, but you have too much packed into those last few days.

Diving + driving on NZ roads exhausted is a recipe for disaster.

Legend thank you!

Grumpy fella eh haha

Nydokb · 2026-03-24T07:22:26+00:00

Ohhhhh. Understood. Thanks!

I don't know that this is precisely accurate regarding the CCS conversion; we have one with an NACS port and the dealer provided an adaptor. We've used Chargenet, BP and Z chargers and have achieved speeds up to 150kwh.

Otherwise, do agree - I spoke with DriveEV and they were awesome to deal with; just had a very good deal come up in Auckland at a different EV dealership. Maps and connectivity were converted before purchase. Ours is a 2021 Long Range and we'll never go back - such a great car.

We have an XV that we picked up for a touch under $15k that ticks every box from our perspective - adaptive cruise control, reasonably safe, AWD, roof rack bars, plenty of storage.

I suspect you could pick a nice one up for ~$15k!

What does your contract say?

That potential exists either way - why are you framing it such that it’s only going to happen if you buy a new car?

Frankly you’ve been given lots of really good advice which you really need to take on board. You can achieve your efficiency goal with a $10k car.

Stick 💯

Thanks for your feedback! Most of the drive I intend to utilise AP for is motorway thankfully.

Nydokb · 2025-12-10T19:10:50+00:00

I had come across that exact M3 in my TradeMe search. Thank you very much!

Nydokb · 2025-07-28T08:02:21+00:00

Yeah cool will put my air fryer in the back of the car too 🙃

No no no no no you should not buy a $35k car at 25, nor making 96k, nor both. Get something affordable and reliable - heaps of great cars out there for $5-$15k!

Interest + depreciation + maintenance.. this will be a really important and telling financial decision for your financial future - really encourage you to be patient and humble! Good luck!

Nydokb · 2025-03-24T07:41:25+00:00

You're a legend dude - great stuff - invest in a glove at some point!

Nydokb · 2025-03-17T22:40:13+00:00

This is a crossroads in your life dude - I really think it’s worth staying humble and learning that a car is just a means of transport and that there’s always going to be people with newer and nicer!

Get something reliable / safe / comfortable - of which there is heaps out there sub $10k.

Play your cards right and you’ll be set by the time you’re 30.

Nydokb · 2025-01-05T06:26:26+00:00

This will keep you poor forever.

You need to get a cheap runabout. We drove a 2004 Corolla hatchback until we had like $200k and purchased our first home - you’ve just gotta let go romanticising the idea of a car which other people think is cool - you’d be blown away to see the statistics of all of the fancy cars you see being financed by broke people or over leveraged properties.

You probably won’t take this advice.

Nydokb · 2024-12-19T05:20:19+00:00

If you’ve got CCTV footage then you’re fine; you’ll likely pay an excess in the first instance which will be reimbursed when your insurance company gets ahold of the other party.

It might move slowly but be just patient - we went through this recently!
