These vehicles are called grade \u201cR\u201d vehicles at the auction. When inspecting a vehicle in person, you can usually see signs of repair evidence. Depending on the quality of the repair work this vehicle will either need to be re-repaired similar to 1. above, or if the repair work looks of a high standard then the vehicle can go to NZ in a lot of cases without being flagged as damaged at the border. The repair work is usually picked up on at compliance in NZ and the vehicle will need a repair certification by an NZTA repair certifier with a cost of approx NZ$800. As long as the repair is of high quality and considered safe there should be no need for further repair costs.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"347\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.nikkyocars.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/repaired-1024x347.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-887\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nikkyocars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/repaired-1024x347.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.nikkyocars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/repaired-300x102.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.nikkyocars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/repaired-768x260.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.nikkyocars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/repaired.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p> If it is your first time importing or you do not have any contacts in the auto repair industry then we would not recommend to purchase a grade R vehicle.
