by Ukrainians prefer models of various brands and configurations. However, cars imported from the USA and Europe have always been a priority. They have become quite a popular phenomenon because, compared to our prices, such a purchase can be advantageous. By clicking on the link https://midgard-auto.com.ua/, you can compare the cost of cars in the Ukrainian and foreign markets.
Cost-effectiveness of American Cars Compared to European Ones
If you compare the technical characteristics and pricing of American cars, it becomes obvious that the USA “undercuts” its European competitors. Why is delivery from America more beneficial than a similar purchase from Europe?
The fact is that almost every resident of the States has the practical opportunity to drive. Consequently, their attitude towards personal vehicles is more straightforward. After driving for a couple of years, they are ready to send it to the auction platform.
Differences in Foreign Cars for Americans
Automakers in European countries are more focused on compactness and safety. Therefore, the golf class and small city cars prevail there. For Americans, however, impressive dimensions are a priority. They prefer spaciousness.
Now let’s compare the characteristics:
- Color of external lighting. Turn signals from the USA are red. In Ukraine, this may cause difficulties. Our laws require turn signals to be tinted in yellow.
- Transmission. While Europeans drive with a manual transmission, their American counterparts have long switched to automatic gearboxes.
- Speed and total mileage. Overseas drivers’ cars are equipped with a different measurement system. The speedometer readings are displayed in miles. In addition, temperatures are measured in Fahrenheit. However, a reprogramming easily solves this problem.
- Completeness. American car manufacturers understand their customers’ needs to travel comfortably. Almost every model is equipped with an air conditioner. Power windows will also become an additional convenience. Coffee and tea lovers will be pleased with the cup holder.
For the car market in the US, high-quality materials are used. Due to high competition, it is simply not profitable to use cheap unreliable parts.
What Needs to Change in a Car Imported from America
When you bring a vehicle to Ukraine, you will need to make some changes.
Steps to be taken:
- Replacing oil, brake, and other fluids;
- Reprogramming electronics to change the units of measurement on the speedometer and installing a Russian language pack;
- Replacing bulbs;
- Installing a gas cylinder.
All procedures are performed only if the client desires. You can also use dry cleaning services.
Passing Certification
An unconditional requirement for registering a car with us is mandatory certification. The procedure is carried out in laboratories that have been accredited by NAAU.
As a result, a certificate is issued. It confirms the object’s compliance with pan-European standards. This means that the car is serviceable and suitable for operation.
Checked items:
- Absence of tinting on lighting devices.
- Placement of turn signals on side mirrors or front fenders.
- Unit of measurement is not in miles, but in kilometers.
- Compliance with Euro-5 standards regarding the chemical composition of engine emissions.
Certification is a mandatory point, neglect of which may result in a fine. Previously, this event was available only to bodies with appropriate accreditation. However, now this service is also available at private firms. At Midgard, specialists will help at all stages of the purchase: from selecting an acceptable model, paying for the auction lot, and handling paperwork.
