Importing a car from Korea

Bringing a car from Korea is a profitable solution for those looking for a good car.

When considering ways to make a profitable purchase and become the owner of a good, practical car, it makes sense to pay attention to such a popular service as bringing cars from Korea for Ukrainian motorists, which our company offers.

Currently, the Ukrainian car market is overflowing with used cars, many of which either have significant mileage and have been intensively used in various delivery and taxi services, thus showing signs of significant wear, or are vehicles whose cost is excessively inflated due to reseller commissions.

One should also not forget about the risks of encountering a problematic car, for example, one that was restored after a major accident or was completely submerged in water (such cars are called  «drowned cars»).

Under such conditions, it is better to bring a car from Korea, entrusting this task to the specialists of Factum Auto – you will get a good car that can be purchased at a price 20-30% lower than the market average, and which will meet all the requirements usually imposed on used vehicles (relatively low mileage, good technical condition, absence of hidden defects, legal problems, and encumbrances).

Properly established car exports from Korea are becoming a rapidly growing trend for Ukrainian motorists, as Korean auctions offer thousands of lots from 2020–2025 with relatively low mileage (you can even find options with less than 100 thousand km of real mileage), rich equipment, and excellent condition. Koreans change cars quite often, so almost new models after leasing and from corporate fleets end up at auctions.

In turn, Factum Auto organizes the entire process turnkey, from selecting a suitable lot at popular Korean car auctions, such as Hyundai Glovis, Lotte Auto Auction, AJ SellCar, and SK Encar, to delivery and registration in Ukraine.

Here are the advantages of importing cars from Korea for buyers:

• Fresh models (you can find cars from 2021–2025);

• Real mileage with marks of mandatory technical inspections;

• Maximum configuration already in the base;

• Decent technical condition;

Prices 20–30% lower than the Ukrainian market;

Safe delivery (without damage in transit).

These and many other advantages make this service highly sought after among those looking for a good Korean car at a decent price. For the same money that is asked in Ukraine for a 2015–2019 car with mileage close to 200 thousand km, you can bring a 2020–2025 car from Korea with a full package of options and a guarantee «as if from the showroom».

What is needed to bring a car from Korea?

Many potential buyers ask themselves – what if I bring a car from Korea myself? The standard answer from specialists who have long been solving similar issues will be concise and simple – «Well, try it». This task, simple in words, can turn out to be insoluble if one does not study the peculiarities of the Korean market, the specifics of auction platforms, delivery logistics, and the resolution of problems related to customs clearance.

One should also not forget that the cost of bringing a car from Korea will largely depend on the availability of established business connections. If you handle the import yourself, you will likely have to solve many logistical and legal problems, which in the end may turn into an insoluble task.
