Threeonthetree Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Harsh but fair Benjimin. We're currently sourcing a 6.2 diesel version from the States for a friend. Would diesel be an option for use as a work vehicle or have you decided on petrol? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwibirdman Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Still like to see you get 6 fat bastards into a crewman and a few 8x4 sheets of ply in the tray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threeonthetree Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Harvey Birdman, I don't think you realise that it's my job to shamelessly (and half-heartedly) recommend holden products for everything. They're my Cheviot Turbos Mayte. Joking aside, did you buy your Silverado in NZ or import it yourself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwibirdman Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Hi Threeonthetree I'm partial to the odd Holden myself, I can definitely see an HQ or 2 in my future, however nothing matches an extra cab Silverado when you have more than three people and a pile of stuff to cart around. I bought my truck here, off a dealer in Newmarket who traded it on a Kia Sorento. That was nearly 9 years ago and it had been in the country about a year at that point. The RHD conversion was done by a crowd down in Welly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peteretep Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 22k is expensive for a 90's chev truck, should be like 5k cheaper than that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwibirdman Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Chevy pickups hold their price well, for ones less than 20 years old, it's the cost of the RHD conversion that kills you. I did see a current shape one the other day on the motorway LHD and registered. Love to know how that happened. Anyway that is a different conversation. I paid $48k for my truck nearly 9 years ago, there is a guy who is hounding me to sell it to him and will pay $32k. I nearly bought an SS crewman for the same money, what would that have been worth now $12-$15?? It's not the cost of petrol that kills you, its maintenance and depreciation, ask anyone who bought a new luxury barge like a top of the line Audi, Beemer, Merc.............. They guy who came round in the weekend to buy the canopy off my truck had a 2004 extended cab with the 4.8 motor. He paid $30k and reconned he go a steal at that price. If you can spend the extra and get the later model one, they are way better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Yeah, I picked up my V8 luxobarge for 3 off Lawrence, brand new they were >$100,000. Hah. Good value for money for me, mind you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteretep Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 as per what I have 1 x million times, over 20 years old and under 3500kg gvm/gvwr can be registered LHD Which LHD vehicles are allowed to be registered in New Zealand?Under Land Transport Rule: Steering Systems (2001), it's generally illegal to register a LHD vehicle for use on New Zealand roads. However, the rule allows some specific categories of LHD vehicles to be registered and operated. The main categories are listed below. (Make sure you also read the requirements for each permitted category, which follow this list.) Category A: Special interest light vehicles less than 20 years oldThese are LHD vehicles under 20 years of age that have been recognised as special interest vehicles by the NZ Transport Agency and have been issued with a Category A left-hand drive vehicle permit. Category B: Light vehicles that are 20 years old or moreThese are light vehicles that were manufactured 20 years or more before the vehicle is certified in New Zealand. http://www.nzta.govt.nz/resources/factsheets/12/importing-a-left-hand-drive-vehicle.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 So basically Class 1, less than 20yrs old = Requires SIV but can be registered as LHD with Permit. Class 1, over 20yrs old = Can be LHD, must be <3500kg GVM I could read that link but I assume Class 2 is where things get annoying or is it cut and dry for that too, Pete?
