How to pick a great car from the USA and not a pig in a poke?
Car owners who order cars from the USA are well versed in the nuances of American cars. Let's try to dispel the doubts of beginners who have never dealt with this. We've already explained why it's worthwhile to buy a car from the USA; now let's find out how to make the right choice.
What to find out before buying a car from America
If you haven't yet decided on a model but have already realized that a car from America is more advantageous, you're on the right track. We've put together a list of how to choose the target of your search and what to pay attention to.
1. Determine your budget.
Everyone sets for themselves the sum they're prepared to spend on a car. Take the cost of additional expenses into account. Even if you're buying a ready-to-use car without significant damage, it's worth setting aside 10% of the price for various extra costs: tires, oil, replacing minor parts, etc. This is the minimum you have to spend on maintaining a car in any case.
2. Identify the models.
Once we've settled on a budget, we need to choose the optimal balance of price, quality, model year and mileage. We'll help you decide on all this and pick the ideal option for you. We know which cars are more advantageous to buy, because we already have a base of reviews about our clients' cars.
3. Find out the average prices of cars from the USA.
Prices at auctions can vary significantly, but a neighbor's tales of incredible luck at the auctions, when he supposedly managed to buy a 2017 car for a couple of thousand dollars — are more like amusing legends. Cars from the USA will indeed cost you 30-50% less than the same ones from Ukraine, but average prices do still exist.
4. The car's popularity on the market
If you're looking for a reliable everyday car, take a look at popular cars. Here it's worth considering the opinion of those around you, because if many people buy a car, then the car is good. Moreover, it should be popular not for the first year, but always. This way you take care of the car's liquidity in advance.
5. Availability and cost of servicing in your country.
What is available in the USA is not always available in the CIS countries. If you're choosing a make that's rare on our country's roads, find out whether there's an official service in your city and what the cost of the main repair services is. Ask our specialists what car owners say about servicing your car.
