Buying cars abroad is a tricky business. But the effort pays off with a significant discount on the purchase. Cars in the United States are sold at prices two and sometimes three times lower than in Russia.
Instructions
Step 1
To buy and transfer a car from the United States of America, register on one of the sites that conduct used car auctions. You can choose any, they are both in Russian and in English. For example, on the portal https://globalautousa.com/?autonavigator with a convenient Russified interface, you can choose the necessary vehicle, as well as order its delivery across the ocean. The most popular auctions among Americans themselves are IAAI, COPART, eBay and MANHEIM. The last one presents luxury cars in the highest price category. Others offer a variety of models to choose from, most of which have been in operation for no more than five years
Step 2
Having chosen the required car, contact the organizers of the auction by e-mail or phone. You will be sent a contract and details to which you need to transfer money for the purchase. If you order delivery and customs clearance there, these costs will be included in the payment. Remember that a ferry from the United States consists of several points. The first is transportation from the warehouse to the port. The second is loading on a ferry and paying for transportation over the ocean. The third is delivery from the city of arrival to your place of residence. All this will be handled by a freight forwarder whose services you pay.
Step 3
Transfer money by opening an account with any bank. After that, the car will be removed from the auction and registered for you. The organizers of the sale will issue a power of attorney to the forwarding company, according to which they can go through the customs clearance procedure at the American border, as well as load the car on board the ferry.
Step 4
Select a shipping address. It will cost less to European ports. But in order to pick up a car yourself, for example, from Finland, you will need to obtain a Schengen visa and pay a customs deposit in advance to cross the border. It is better to pay for delivery immediately to one of the Russian cities. Cars are transported to all megacities - Moscow, Yekaterinburg, Novosibirsk, etc. After unloading from the ferry, the vehicles are placed on the road carrier, and the forwarder is sent to the point of arrival by train or plane.
Step 5
Wait for a call from the forwarder, who will warn you about the delivery. It usually takes about six weeks if there is no difficulty with US or Russian customs. The forwarder will hand over the vehicle to you with a set of documents from hand to hand. You have the right to inspect it, check its driving performance and only then sign the deed of transfer. You can also refuse to purchase. But then it will be on your shoulders to send the car back to America. Her amount and all travel expenses will be deducted from the money received as payment. The rest will be transferred to your account.
