Temperature differences during sea transport can easily trigger the tire pressure warning. After inflating the tires to the standard pressure (usually 2.5 Bar), most vehicles will automatically clear the warning after driving a few kilometers; some models require manually clicking "Tire Pressure Reset" in the "Vehicle Settings" on the central screen.

The standard process looks like this: 1. Selection: pick the car, request the VIN, registration certificate, and recent photos/videos. For higher-value cars, order an independent third-party inspection. 2. Negotiation and contract: agree on price and terms. Sign a written contract stating the car's condition, price, payment schedule, and delivery terms (FOB or CIF). 3. Deposit: typically 20-30% to reserve the car. Pay to the company's corporate account, never a personal one. 4. Verification: your agent or inspector confirms the car matches the contract before the balance is due. 5. Balance and export: pay the remaining amount; the seller arranges inland transport, export customs clearance, and port loading. 6. Shipping documents: you receive the commercial invoice, packing list, and bill of lading - usually by courier or email. 7. Arrival: your customs broker clears the car, you pay duties and taxes, then register it locally. Total timeline is usually 4-8 weeks depending on the shipping route.

Comparing quotes properly means comparing the same thing: 1. Normalize the scope: some quotes include inland transport, export clearance, inspection and ocean freight, others are FOB only. Ask each exporter for a line-item breakdown so you can compare like with like. 2. Check what is excluded: port charges at destination, customs duties, homologation and registration are almost always on you. Get a written list of everything NOT included. 3. Look beyond the number: a quote 10-15% below the market usually means the car has an issue (accident history, rolled-back mileage, pending lien) or the exporter plans to cut corners on inspection and loading. 4. Verify the exporter: business license, export qualification, recent shipment records, and references from buyers in your region. A realistic quote from a verifiable exporter is worth more than a bargain that turns into a dispute. Always pay against milestones with inspection before balance payment.
