What you need to know about buying a car from the USA: features and pitfalls

The USA has a huge used car market. And where there is a large offer, there are also affordable prices. That is why many Ukrainians, despite the fact that the two countries are separated by thousands of kilometers, decide to buy cars from America.

The problem is that many people don't prepare enough before buying. This leads to the fact that at any of the stages (purchase, registration, delivery) problems may arise, which will lead to additional losses.

Features of buying a car in America

So, a car in the USA can be purchased by auction. Pages with used vehicles are available on the Internet. Bidding starts with a certain starting price, after which users can independently raise the price of the lot. This provides an opportunity to purchase a luxury car at a fairly attractive price.

Total 2 largest auctions: Copart and Manheim. The first service is the most popular. A wide variety of offers at the best prices are available here. However, it is worth noting that many cars are offered after an accident. Their history may not be completely transparent, so it is worth understanding what services to use or whom to contact to learn more.

Manheim more often offers to buy a car with a transparent history. However, the average prices at this auction are significantly higher. Therefore, you need to decide whether you are ready to pay extra for security.

Advantages and disadvantages of buying a car in the USA

If you are interested in how to drive a car from America yourself, it is quite possible to do it. In this case, first of all, you need to familiarize yourself with the features of pricing. After all, you will have to pay not only the cost of the vehicle itself, but also:

• auction commission (it varies depending on the service);
• registration for export;
• ship loading services;
• customs services and payments;
• forwarder services.

In this way, a huge selection of cars will be available to you. In addition, you can count on such main advantages as:

• low cost;
• good technical equipment of the car;
• the possibility to check the car through the VIN code.

On the other hand, there may be certain pitfalls when designing independently. First of all, it is a rather long delivery of the vehicle. Most often at least 8 weeks, but often much longer. Also, certain damages may be caused to the car during transportation. In order not to receive additional costs, you may have to contact the services of insurance companies. At the same time, you will have to look for them yourself.
