Vehicle condition meets standards, passed inspection; vehicle condition is average; 4 claims filed; 3 ownership transfers.
This vehicle is 7 years old, with an average annual mileage of 15,700 kilometers, typical daily family use, and has been transferred three times. The exterior may have noticeable signs of wear and tear; the interior shows obvious signs of use or dirt; the overall body frame is intact, but there are a few abnormal issues; the powertrain is functioning normally.
For dealers who purchase the same brand models in bulk over a long term, we can coordinate senior technicians domestically to offer paid, regular Zoom video technical Q&A to resolve the issues you encounter locally.
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.
Under FOB or CIF terms, all risks before crossing the ship's rail are borne by the seller (us). For minor scratches, we will provide a price discount based on the damage assessment; for serious damage, we will immediately terminate the vehicle delivery, refund the full amount, or replace it with a vehicle of equivalent configuration.
