where is the best the best place to look for second hand aircraft in NZ, I know you can look on trademe but I am wondering if there is other places?
There are several aircraft dealers in NZ. A quick google search will find them.

Where is the best place to get aircraft spares in NZ?
Through your LAME or maintenance organization.

What companies can i go to for aircraft insurance?
Again, there are a few NZ companies that deal specifically with aviation insurance. Google them.

Where is the best place to find a LAME?
Pretty sure there will be an outfit at Invercargill airport (never been there). Otherwise definitely at Taieri or Mandeville.

What is the approximate tie down cost.
That entirely depends on where you choose to keep it. Airport companies are notoriously greedy so the larger airports tend to charge a lot. You may find a smaller country airfield where you can get a decent price for a hangar lease, but then you run the risk of it being a long way away from your house.

Good luck and welcome aboard!
