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.
Pay attantion
Mileage
Cars with mileage over 100,000 km may require a more thorough inspection before purchase. Key components like the engine and transmission may show increased wear, potentially leading to higher maintenance costs. We recommend obtaining a condition report to accurately assess the vehicle’s technical state and any future expenses.
Good
Primary Damage
Cars at salvage auctions can have various damage statuses, most of which pertain to typical issues such as external impacts or mechanical failures. These damages are generally easy to fix, and after repairs, the vehicle can return to full functionality. Purchasing such cars can be a smart choice for those willing to invest in restoration and obtain a quality vehicle at a reduced price.
Good
Secondary Damage
We strongly recommend that you carefully examine the vehicle`s damages and conduct a detailed analysis. If you have any questions or need assistance, please feel free to contact the Autoplatforma agents.

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.
