Would you believe it, the rear left door to replace new is nearly NZ $4,000 alone.
Actually the total quote price to repair the car was over NZ$18,000, the car was only worth $10,000 before he crash, hence, she`s become a parts vehicle now.

As I already wrote here I am looking for a new car and I ogle with a Toyota Prius Hybrid. At the moment I am quite sure that I will buy one and I also thought about insuring the car for 3rd party accident cover only but I guess this is not a good idea. I think I will choose full cover just to be sure that I do not have such a hefty repair bill. I also compared different car insurances but I am not quite sure which one to take. I also saw
that car insurances in Germany are actually much more cheaper than here but I think I will not immigrate to Germany just because the insurance is cheaper.
Hopefully I will find a moderatly priced insurance here.
