If after she has paid for the vehicle check, she still wants to buy it, I would put a new wof on it if it makes the sale for her, what's $50 to guarantee a sale?

What were the terms and conditions of sale? ie does it specifically say in your advert as is where is? If not its a legal requirement to have a less than 4 week/28 day old WOF
I think It's pretty much an unwritten law and generally accepted practice that any private vehicle sales are sold "as is where is" and therefore not subject to a 28 day WOF clause.
I also think this has been backed up by various disputes tribunal rulings. The fact that the NZTA fact sheet says it "should" pretty much means "nobody can enforce it". It's up to the buyer and seller to agree which way it goes.

Hi kaz, please read my post above and then tell me where the legal requirement is. Should does not mean must. Unless there is a piece of conflicting legislation somewhere?

I'll have to dig a bit so bear with me. Somewhere in the actual legislation it says MUST not should. if you want a really frustrating time start digging into "advise sheets" and cross referencing them to the actual legislation.

phase fit for purpose springs to mind here ! in a private sale due diligent by purchaser she/he is aware of wof not bein les than 28 days old than its up to them I feel to ascertain weather this vehicle is for them . they can ask and as above will clinch sale I guess or u could pay more and see a dealer for peace of mind !. but as is where is in a private advert is the best thing to do as it state clearly it on your head
