Hi,
Here is the link to the Australian seller for new ones and generally the prices he gets are way below our UK new ones and more on par with our used sales prices.

I would expect given this is new you possibly will be able to select maps for NZ as it comes with 3 months free map updates and 12 months LIVE services. This is the best device for your car.
One thing for anyone buying a new one advertised ensure it is a sealed box. Anyone who has opened a box and switched on even just to test or picture will have automatically set the LIVE service contract as this is done via an internal sim card. At the very least if this has been done ask for the LIVE expiry date which can be found in the settings menu.
If it is an ex demo from a main dealer or somewhere like Halfords in UK I have found TomTom very considerate and will reset the contract for 12 months FOC on proof of receipt but only if a genuine dealer.
When buying a secondhand one always worth asking what map version is present as some can be as old as 2011 so you will miss out on a lot of potholes
. Even with the latest maps though don't be surprised sometimes to find you have been sent up into someones private drive or is trying to send you across a farmers field:bang:. Also TomTom usually deactivate the internal sim card if LIVE services contract has not been renewed for 3 years, however will reactivate it if contract is wanted to be reinstated..........personally though it is not worth the money IMHO.
Although we were never bothered with the TomTom Blue Me as originally just wanted a better satnav than the MagnetiMarelli MAP which was very basic and poor graphics, since having the TomTom2 BlueMe we have found it is really good especially for total hands free and voice command telephone calls.
