Myths and Truth about Used Cars from America

Recently, we have already written about which cars from the USA are imported to Ukraine most often. Usually, damaged cars are exported from auctions in America, where they are much cheaper, and even with the costs of delivery, customs clearance, and restoration, they turn out to be more profitable than their counterparts on our market.

Some believe that buying and/or driving a car from the USA is too risky and unjustified. Others, on the contrary, do not understand those who buy used cars in Ukraine from individuals or spend money on purchasing brand-new cars for exorbitant prices. Let’s consider a few myths and facts about cars from America.

If a car from America is intact, it’s a flood car

Yes, such cases do happen, but it does not mean that if the car is intact, it must have “floated.”

Rebuilt damaged cars are sold as undamaged and unpainted

In our country, there are greater chances of encountering such options. And all because:

  • It is not profitable to restore cars in the USA due to the high cost of “handmade”
  • The car’s history can be easily and simply traced by VIN-code

Damaged cars are loaded “by weight”

In a sense, this is true – when loading for shipment after an accident, employees are not particularly concerned about the integrity and preservation of the “cargo.” Therefore, it’s always better to factor in a “margin” for addressing possible damage incurred during delivery. The actual mileage is more than stated

Again – in Ukraine, buying a car with altered mileage is more the rule, whereas buying one with the real mileage is an exception. As for the States, yes, there are our people engaged in the auto business, but buying a car in the States with a mileage different from the actual is practically impossible. Firstly, it is punishable, and secondly, no one engages in it.

It’s better to drive yourself

Of course, it’s better. But if you consider the costs of flights, travel, food, and accommodation, then going to the States yourself to choose and buy a car is reasonable in one case – if you’re looking towards Porsche, Ferrari, etc. That is, towards luxury cars or, for example, high-performance pickups.

When it comes to cars costing up to $10,000 – it’s simpler and cheaper to pay a company that professionally handles this. Nowadays, there are many, but it’s always important to remember that it’s better to rely on real customer reviews.

In this case, the choice and delivery of a used car under the key https://makecars.com.ua/ will be advantageous and trouble-free.
