Small update.. Terry emailed me over the weekend to say that he was sending all the needed documents down to Jeff at Autorama in Petone, and that I should give him a call. Today I called up Jeff to give him my email so that if any issues arose during compliance, he could let me know. It's also nice to open up communication with the guy I'll be picking up the car from in a few weeks. Anyway, hopefully I'll hear back soon (A FEW DAYS) about it arriving in New Zealand!!

Final Payment
March 25th, 2015
It's on it's way!!
Just as Terry said, about a week before the boat gets here, the final payment would be due. He paid the customs fees, GST and is scheduling compliance for the car at Autorama in Lower Hutt, so I just had to wire him the funds. Here's a breakdown he sent:
It's official! So Terry is having a courier take the import documents and mileage certificates from Japan down to Autorama, and it sounds like everything is taken care of at the port. The car should arrive on Sunday, April 5th. Since it's a long weekend because of Easter, he's assuming Autorama will get the car a few days later, and depending on how much work is needed (if any) I'll find out how much longer it will take to get the car. But it'll be in New Zealand next weekend, and that makes me so insanely happy.
It's been a long road, but it will be worth it!

So the total of the car in total, if there aren't any more fees from the compliance guys, is approximately $14,656 nzd. A small price to pay for one of my dream cars!

IT'S ON A BOAT
March 3rd, 2015
Terry emailed me this morning with a copy of the Bill of Lading. The AZ-1 has shipped! It left Nagoya on Feb 28th and will be heading straight to Wellington. Now for the long wait. I'm guessing the estimated five weeks of travel is because it has to go all the way to Wellington, as opposed to Auckland. Stay tuned!
