First-hand car. Both right-side doors and the right front fender have been repainted; the rest retains original paint. Actual odometer reading. Zero insurance claims.
Be sure to purchase cargo insurance (all-risk or water damage insurance). In case of damage, claim with the bill of lading, insurance policy, and proof of damage at the destination port.
We maintain an absolute skeptical attitude. In addition to regular visual inspections, we focus on checking for sediment accumulation around the sunroof drainage channels and look for water stains under the A-pillar trim and front floor mats. This is the only effective physical evidence to determine if the sunroof drainage holes are blocked, leading to hidden leaks.
No, it does not. International shipping (especially RoRo) usually takes 30 to 60 days, during which the vehicle is stationary. A dead 12V battery, natural tire pressure loss, and even wiper aging due to temperature differences are all reasonable physical wear during long-distance transport. We strongly recommend that overseas buyers bring a portable jump starter and an air pump when picking up their vehicles at the port.
