No warrant, no rego

"This vehicle is sold on an "As is where is" basis. The vehicle has no mechanical issues, but it does not comply with New Zealand emission standards.
We believe that it does meet euro 3 standards, but can't get the paperwork to secure & prove the compliance. "


Interesting...

a 2003 car not meeting import rules? isn't the rule to ban cars over 7 years old?

and surely if he needs compliance check of the euro 3 emissions, he should just take it to audi?

This is a car that cannot be registered in NZ as it's ex Singapore and not compliant with the emission standards.  From 1 January 2009 the emission laws were changed and cars that are ex Singapore don't meet the requirements.  Even brand new cars in many cases ex Singapore are not able to be imported.

Whilst at the Testing Station after New Years the tester was telling me about it and how they had refused to register a 2 year old BMW 7 series.  There was stress over it but the law is the law.  I saw a letter form BMW NZ to all testing stations said that no BMW's ex Singapore were compliant so couldn't be registered in NZ.  I assume it is the same with Audi and others.

Buyer Beware!!

The fix is easy!

That sounds like bollocks, what is different emission wise between a Jap model and Singaporean model? I'd say they both have the same setup...

Should i put a bid in, just to see what the reserve is ;D

RS4

reserve is $35k, the owner wont sell it for less, else is going offshore.
Trying to find a home for it overseas at present.
Apparently Audi importers (EMD) said it was built differently and therefore would not comply.
Talk about playing god.

Would be a fun targa car :)

i could get them $30 k for it now but they wont take it. I thought 30k was a good result considering its pretty useless otherwise

I am interested in what the LTSA criteria is with these German built cars, i agree with Vert, that these cars were built differently form any other car due to delivered into the Asia pacific area.

Maybe a challenge to LTSA is required.

How many certifiers are there around NZ, maybe some one else has a different interpretation of these rules?

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for emissions testing and clean air etc but not just on imports- thats just crap and a typical half arsed NZ measure.
If emissions testing is to be done it should be across the board and be part of a wof like other developed countries.

The attached document explains the issue.  It specifically says the RS6 is not compliant.  Interesting that the BMW's are now OK though!
