Top 5 Most Cost-Effective Cars from the USA in 2025
Importing cars from the USA in 2025 offers affordability and reliability. Here are the top five cost-effective models based on price, maintenance, fuel efficiency, and resale value.
Good
Condition
The auction features vehicles in various conditions, typically categorized as Run & Drive Verified, Vehicle Starts, and Cannot Start. We highly recommend choosing vehicles with a Run & Drive Verified status. However, if you have experience in repairing vehicles with more significant damage, you may consider exploring all available options.
Good
Mileage
Cars with mileage below 100,000 km are typically in good technical condition, with minimal wear on critical components like the engine and transmission. Choosing a vehicle with lower mileage can help you avoid major repairs and reduce future maintenance costs.
Pay attantion
Primary Damage
This vehicle has damage that may conceal serious and potentially dangerous issues. Such vehicles often pose a safety risk and may have critical structural defects or multiple damages, such as flooding, fire, and others. We strongly recommend that you obtain a full condition report on the vehicle or consult with Autoplatforma experts to assess all risks.
Pay attantion
Secondary Damage
We strongly recommend paying attention to the secondary damages of this vehicle. They may require significant repair investments and, in some cases, pose a risk to the safe operation of the vehicle.

Custom clearance
Customs clearance
The cost of customs clearance depends on the country to which the vehicle arrives. In European countries, the excise duty is 10%, while the VAT rate ranges from 19% to 23%. Additionally, the services of a customs broker, who will handle document preparation and tax procedures, must be paid separately.
