With only 3 registered, parts may need to be ordered and not all mechanics will be familiar with this model. Factor in potential wait times for servicing.
NZTA data records fuel type but not the octane grade (91, 95, or 98). Check the owner's manual or the fuel filler cap for the recommended rating — or look up fuel labels at Rightcar. Using the wrong grade can affect performance and fuel economy.
