Cars from USA: Pitfalls
The popularity of purchasing used cars from the American continent is explained by three factors: the unavailability for the average user of cars from the dealership due to high prices, significant increase in customs duties for vehicles from Europe due to the adoption of laws No. 3251, No. 8487, and 8488 and the cancellation of privileges, the absence in the Ukrainian market of cars with the same
equipment and technical condition as in America. That is why a new direction is rapidly developing - the purchase and delivery of vehicles from the USA. And we are not only talking about passenger and cargo vehicles, but also about all types of wheeled transport, for example, snowmobiles and even boats.
Many people are puzzled by how it is possible to transport a car from another continent, across oceans and seas, and then also by land, and still benefit? Damaged and restored, as well as initially in good external and technical condition, such cars are cheaper than their counterparts in Ukraine. Moreover, the equipment is much larger, as Americans are very demanding in this regard. And there is a unique opportunity to get a rare specimen that simply does not exist in Europe.
What are the pitfalls when buying a car from the USA?
But is everything so simple and rosy? Not always, when buying cars from America, pitfalls should be foreseen. Different online auctions in different states offer conditions that are as transparent and convenient for the client as possible. And the latter, from his side, should carefully consider each of his steps. Independent search, purchase, and organization of vehicle delivery to Ukraine is a troublesome and risky business. Keep in mind that every car from the USA can have its pitfalls. Used car dealers on the secondary market often are not completely honest with the buyer. Their interest is purely material, and their only desire is to earn as much money as possible. Therefore, the most reliable way is to buy a vehicle from an insurance company through an online auction. The reasons for selling by the insurance company are as follows: the car was in an accident, submerged above the sills, was stolen, or was recalled by the manufacturer due to identified batch defects. These could be poor quality raw materials or non-compliance with their legislation.
The second pitfall that should raise doubts for the buyer is the absence of photos and video reviews of models on platforms. Relying solely on the description, no matter how wonderful and perfect it may seem - it's like buying a pig in a poke.
The third pitfall is the possibility of damage to the car and its disassembly during transportation. Dishonest auto carriers do not treat used cars very carefully, considering them junk.

The fundamental difference between the American market and the European and Asian ones is that no one in the USA personally spends time selling an already uninteresting car. A person simply entrusts this mission to a dealer or insurance company.

Myths about Cars from the USA
To finally dispel doubts, we suggest familiarizing yourself with the most common myths about cars from America.
Delivery of illegally stolen cars. The first thing that Ukrainian consumers fear. This is not true, because when crossing the border, the customs service carefully checks all the documentation for the car.
Expensive and lengthy delivery. There are claims that transporting a car purchased in America takes up to a year and costs a lot of money. This is not true. After all, the total cost of delivery and the price of the car will be cheaper than from Europe. Wrecked cars are 'painted sponges' and sold as whole. In the USA, reconstructing a car after an accident is not a cheap pleasure. Therefore, it is easier to give it to the insurance company than to repair it at a loss, only to then sell it anyway.
Almost all cars are 'flooded'. Auctions are very reluctant to deal with such lots, so buying one is a million to one shot.
