Pretty rude to cancel for not paying and then demand payment for it. Also it looks like if rego was out and you sell you get sent the bill for that. Pretty funny as I have bought quite a few things with rego nearly about to lapse and the sale price wouldn't have covered it 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cletus Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 If it's registered in nz prior to 2010, no cat required If it's post 2010 it gets complicated 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
