We need a car to be mobile in New Zealand. Question is “Rent or buy?” Calculating the pros and cons we decide to become a car owner. Lutz did a lot of research in the internet, but we decided to see the car before we buy. We prefer to go for a van since it also would provide accommodation. The challenge is to have a camper with the certificate “self contained”, meaning a built in sink, 25 liter fresh and same sized waste water tank, and toilet. Those mini campers with that certificate are available in Auckland.

With a rented car we drive to Auckland to visit several car dealers.
