If a vehicle listing specifies that the price does not cover on-road costs, it implies that the buyer must settle additional fees such as Warrant of Fitness (WoF), registration and license, or Road User Charges (RUC) for diesel vehicles before legally driving the vehicle on New Zealand roads. It is essential to inquire with the seller about the specific additional costs associated with using the vehicle on the road.

On the other hand, if a vehicle listing mentions that the price includes on-road costs, it must, at a minimum, encompass a valid WoF, current registration, an up-to-date license (valid for at least 3 months), 1,000km of Road User Charges (for diesel vehicles), and any other prerequisites mandated by law to enable the lawful use of the vehicle on the road.
