📌complete a printed application (rather than applying online)
📌complete a statutory declaration, and
📌mail both of these, along with other applicable documents, to the address on your application form.
These applications are assessed on a case-by-case basis meaning your application might take longer than normal, and it might not be successful.
For more information, including the details you must include in your statutory declaration and who can be the witness for it, go to: cab.org.nz/article/KB00001684

👉Some simple things you can do to reduce your risk when you buy a used vehicle in a private sale are to check:
🚗whether the vehicle is subject to a safety related recall
🚗that the vehicle has a current Warrant of Fitness
🚗that the vehicle registration is up to date
🚗whether the vehicle is stolen or has any money owing on it
It’s also a good idea to get a thorough mechanical check of the vehicle. Most garages provide a pre-purchase inspection service.
