I have family in NZ & have recently purchased a bike to use during my visits.
Check www.trademe.co.nz and www.KiwiBiker.co.nz
There's advice on kiwibiker specifically for overseas visitors
I know you say hiring is too expensive but NZ isn't a cheap country to visit. You may end up with a big loss on resale value simply because you have to leave. If buying, ensure the bike has sufficient wof & rego for your trip
PS - don't wild camp - there's plenty of DOC sites which cost practically nothing and are usually in stunning locations (esp on the south)
