wrong it means new to nz from new manufactured not driven on any other countrys roads. servicing should be able to be proofen on these cars from the first service with documentations , otherwise if that cant be produced then the term nz new means nothing special it could have its odometer tempered also if the documents are gone.

OP--Im noticing this deliberateblurring of the definitions too. It seems a few folk are bandying around the phraseNZ new when in fact they are fresh imports NZ new means sold as a brand new car in NZ But this new phrase New to NZ seems to be getting quite prevalant.-refering to just imported cars

Yes and No. I have a Japanese 1969 model car.Sold NZ new.Its 100% made in Japan and mileage from factory to ownerships papers for 1st rego in its life. car had done 150 miles. so it had been driven in Japan.on to a boat, driven off and been driven in NZ before it was 1st regoed.
NZ new means never regoed in anther country.
