Top 4 American cars for resale
Bex Auto specializes in the sale and delivery of used cars from the U.S. on favorable terms. The service is turnkey—our specialists will help you select the best option, arrange insurance, and handle all necessary paperwork. We source high-quality vehicles from trusted auctions such as IAAI (Insurance Auto Auction), Iron Planet, Copart, Manheim, and others.
Before a vehicle is purchased and shipped to Ukraine, it undergoes a thorough inspection based on a number of criteria. We accurately determine the number of previous owners, any damage sustained in accidents, and the actual mileage—not the mileage falsified by the seller. Our Ukrainian platform always has a selection of cars from the U.S. available, which you can quickly purchase through Bex Auto.
Requirements for Cars Imported from the U.S.
To meet the needs of Ukrainian customers, it’s essential to understand their requirements for imported Ukrainian vehicles:
- Minimum mileage. Buyers aren’t very interested in purchasing cars with more than 100,000 kilometers on the odometer. This indicates that the car’s internal components are already quite worn out and will require frequent repairs.
- Availability of repair and maintenance services. All cars need worn-out parts replaced from time to time. However, it is not always possible to find the necessary parts at an affordable price in Ukraine. Brands such as Ford, Nissan, Hyundai, and KIA offer a good selection of replacement parts on the Ukrainian market.
- Low fuel consumption. Given the constantly rising cost of gasoline in Ukraine, buyers are not eager to purchase models with large-displacement engines that consume a lot of fuel. The best option is a car with an engine displacement of no more than 1,600 cubic centimeters.
- A comfortable interior and plenty of passenger seating. In most cases, people buy American cars for family trips, so the best options should have five or more passenger seats. Minivans with a spacious trunk capable of carrying seven people are also in high demand.
- Affordable price. One of the key criteria is that the car fits within the customer’s budget. Ukrainian buyers are willing to pay no more than $10,000 for a car from the U.S. It is in this price segment that the largest number of transactions takes place.
Taking into account the customer requirements noted above, the following car models are the most in demand in Ukraine:
- Ford—one of the most renowned American brands, known for its reliable build quality, attractive design, and comfort whether driving on city streets or high-speed highways;
- KIA—the brand develops spacious crossovers suitable for light off-road driving and featuring low maintenance costs, making them among the most affordable in the U.S.;
- Honda – This manufacturer produces cars with reliable engines and smooth suspension that are fuel-efficient, helping owners save money;
- Mazda – models from this brand have a striking exterior and are designed using SKYACTIV technology, which involves a meticulous approach to the development of every detail and component.
Why It’s Advantageous to Buy Cars from the U.S.
Most of the cars imported into Ukraine are driven here from the U.S. This popularity stems from several factors: the good quality of American roads, high-quality maintenance, strict insurance regulations, and the high income levels of Americans, which allow them to replace their cars frequently.
Used cars from the U.S. surpass the vehicles available on Ukrainian car markets in many respects:
- a wide selection of cars in various trim levels, makes, and models, since Americans purchase a huge number of cars every year;
- affordable prices, with models available in both the budget and premium market segments;
- Americans’ willingness to sell good cars even with minor damage due to the high cost of maintenance in the U.S.;
- regular high-quality maintenance, which allows American cars to remain in excellent technical condition for a long time.
Unlike in Ukraine and EU countries, rolling back odometer readings or artificially underreporting mileage is not common practice in the U.S., as these actions are severely punished under U.S. law. All cars from the U.S. are listed in an accessible database that contains complete information about their history from the time of manufacture.
How to Make Money Buying American Cars
Buying used American cars isn’t just an opportunity to acquire a decent vehicle at an affordable price—it’s also a great option for a successful business in Ukraine. You can generate income through the following activities:
- reselling cars imported from the U.S. at a higher price, since used American cars in good condition are always in demand on the Ukrainian market;
- purchasing imported cars for dismantling and selling parts—cars with significant damage from accidents can be bought inexpensively at auction, while still allowing you to make a good profit by selling intact interior parts.
In addition, used cars from the U.S. can be purchased for commercial purposes: for your own business, as a taxi driver, a hauler, a courier, and in other fields where having a reliable vehicle is essential. The business’s profitability is ensured by the affordable cost of the cars.
Purchasing cars from the U.S. will only truly yield a profit if you partner with reputable companies. A huge number of cars arrive in Ukraine from the U.S. every year, but far from all of them are in good mechanical condition or justify the asking price.
Bex Auto conducts a thorough inspection of every vehicle it purchases using reliable specialized platforms, including Carfax and Autocheck. We examine the detailed history of each car: its owners, any traffic accidents it has been involved in, repairs performed, and damage caused by natural disasters.
No defect will escape our attention, so if we discover any discrepancies, odometer tampering, or hidden damage not disclosed by the seller, we immediately decline to purchase that vehicle. That is why we can guarantee that every one of our customers will receive a vehicle whose price fully reflects its technical condition, as we value the good reputation we have earned over many years and have no intention of compromising it.
