Vehicle in good condition, passed inspection. Vehicle in good condition, 4 claims filed, 3 ownership transfers.
This vehicle is 7 years old, with an average annual mileage of 11,800 kilometers. It has been used infrequently and has been transferred three times. There may be noticeable signs of wear and tear on the exterior. The interior is in good condition with normal signs of use. The overall body frame is intact, but there are a few abnormal issues. The fluid levels are normal, and the powertrain is functioning well.
We will never perform blind deep disassembly unless there are clear severe fault codes or extreme noises. The sealing of the engine and transmission is crucial, and compromising the factory seals to investigate non-existent issues is unprofessional. We rely on data flow and external acoustic and fluid analysis to make judgments.
As long as you provide us with a genuine and valid bank SWIFT MT103 wire transfer message (receipt) within the payment deadline specified in the contract, we will reserve the vehicle and continue with the port operations, even if the funds are held up in the intermediary bank for several days.
A professional pre-shipment inspection typically costs a small fraction of the vehicle price and routinely pays for itself. A thorough inspection covers: paint thickness measurement across 30+ points to map body repairs; structural assessment of pillars, rails and crossmembers for accident damage; engine and transmission operation; a full electronic scan for fault codes; suspension and underbody checks for leaks and rust; and, for EVs, battery SOH and thermal management performance. You receive a written report with photos before the car is loaded — if the car fails, you can stop the shipment or renegotiate. Skipping the inspection to save a small fee is the classic false economy in used car importing: discovering a problem after arrival is far more expensive than preventing it at origin.
