Yes, foreigners can easily buy a car in New Zealand, as there are no citizenship or residency requirements to purchase a vehicle. Tourists, temporary workers, and international students can walk onto a dealership yard or buy privately from online marketplaces without holding residency. To legally drive the vehicle on New Zealand roads after purchase, you will need a valid driver's license (or an international driving permit), proof of identity such as a passport, and you must complete a simple vehicle ownership change registration online through the New Zealand Transport Agency.
