As soon as the car deal is done, the documents of the cars are sent to the sales department of this company and then the documents are legally transferred to your name and then the custom clearance is been done. After this the car has been shipped to its destination and then you can get the car to your destination port within the decided or estimated duration. Also then you need to further take efforts for the custom clearance of your own country and then you are able to claim for the car. After this process, you can take the car to your home.

Determining the right price to be paid for a new car USA

If you have been checking out prices of cars in the market then chances are that you are already aware of the fact the car prices can often vary greatly. What one car exporter offers you a car for, the other might offer at much less or more. At the end of the day, you just might be left wondering how many people could be paying much less than you for the very same car that you just purchased. However, this can be well avoided by simply doing a bit of research on the worth of a car and calculating an overall average price of the same. This can go a long way in helping you determine what the price range of the vehicle should be like, so you do not end up paying abnormally high prices.

http://www.auctionexport.com/New-Car-USA.html
Re: Tips for car owners and those who are looking for a car! by CarXus: 3:44pm On Feb 15, 2016
Here are a few general instructions to follow as you go determining the price of the import car in which you are interested:

Check on the Edmunds what the TMV or (True Market Value) of the car is. Select the model, make, the year applicable to the cars from USA you wish to buy, and select the style like ‘LS’ or ‘BASE’ to get the price report. It will show you the national average national price being paid for the particular car, with special reference to the price paid in your local region. For similar services you can also check out the Cars Direct.
It may be a good idea to check out the free quotes offered on export vehicle or otherwise by Invoice Dealers, Yahoo Autos, Cars Direct and Edmunds. You will have to enter the same data as mentioned above to get the quotes. Since often these quotes are offered by dealership fleet managers, the prices are often lesser than the dealership sales force quotes. Compare the various options to know your best price.
The link of ‘Pricing and Information’ on NADA Guides can easily help you find the usual quote in your local region. Just enter the right zip code and fill up the required details correctly.

Re: Tips for car owners and those who are looking for a car! by CarXus: 4:11pm On Feb 15, 2016
Some warnings and tips:

The accessories included in the LS, base, or other styles of vehicles, cannot be uniform for all the models and makes of a car. The additions included vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. Therefore, if you are confused about which style to opt for, chose a ‘Show All Styles’ option to facilitate comparison.
If the large number of car model options is puzzling you, a good idea is to compare the reliability, mileage, etc of the vehicles on appropriate websites that have all necessary information for the customers.

Understanding New-Car Warranties

New cars all come with warranties – some comprehensive giving bumper to bumper coverage while others providing it to specified parts like seat belts and or catalytic converters.

A dozen of the most common warranties are listed below:

Bumper to bumper – this is often known as the basic warranty for a new car and covers the important parts like air-conditioning, music systems, sensors, fuel systems and important electrical parts. Majority of the policies do not include regular maintenance (fluid top-offs, oil changes) except for a few luxury cars (BMW and Saab) that have separate free provisions for maintenance.

Is it safe to invest in auction cars in USA?

Buying a car from an auction house is really a lucrative deal. Since, auction cars are usually old and second hand cars, the prices are very low. At times, some of these cars are sold after being salvaged from accident sites. You would be intimated about the carӳ condition. So, you do not need to worry about being sold a low-value car. Auction cars in USA are available at different prices depending on various factors like the carӳ age, condition, damage done, life span, etc. Therefore, if a car is expected to run for another 5 years, then its price would be more than a vehicle whose expected life is just 2 years!

If you are looking to buy a cheap car, then buying one from an auction site is really profitable. But there is the question of safety which you must consider before plunging into the deal. Auction websites are pretty safe and secure, since they are monitored by agencies and legal houses. However, there can be some non-authentic sources which are in operation just for a few weeks or months to dupe na෥ customers and run off with their money.

Re: Tips for car owners and those who are looking for a car! by CarXus: 2:18pm On Feb 16, 2016
Therefore, you must be cautious while buying a car online or, as a matter of fact, while buying anything from the net. The only difference is that while any other consumer product would cost quite less, a car is a big investment. So, you must take due safety steps to ensure that you are not duped. Therefore, while looking for auction cars in USA, make sure to find the right & genuine website which can be trusted fully.

If you are thinking of car shipping from USA or from anywhere in the world, the very first thing you need to do is make your vehicle ready for public auto auction. Every personal article or accessory should be removed, the dirt should be cleaned off and even the fuel should be emptied.

Once your car is off to a foreign destination, your overseas company will send you the bill of their transportation charges. They will simultaneously send you back the original title accompanied by the details of how you can get access to your vehicle at the point of arrival. To avoid unnecessary delay to salvage cars at the international venue, it is always preferable to contact the overseas port in advance to know all the details of the arrival and to keep the paperwork done.

Knowing salvage auto auction

Salvage auto auctions are those which showcase salvage cars. These are cars either damaged or recovered after being stolen. They do not have any owner to claim for these cars. Concerned insurance companies do take the charge of those cars and arrange for auctions to sell them. All cars have insurance. But after accidents it is often found that repairmen cost would exceed the insurance money. It is then that the companies conduct auctions and sell them.

Who wants to buy a damaged car? The manufacturers, rebuilders, dismantlers buy damaged cars to get the valuable and intact car parts from these cars. Environmentalists emphasis on the use of salvage cars to save the environment from the heaps of metal wastage.

Re: Tips for car owners and those who are looking for a car! by CarXus: 5:46pm On Feb 17, 2016
Taking part in a salvage auto auction from a different country is not impossible now. Auctionexport.com is such an umbrella where you can get all the details of the insurance auctions and can easily take part in them. You have to know the rules and regulations of such an auction.

But experts say this is almost like a gamble. You will never be able to verify the account of the accident that has been reported to you by the insurance company. The minor damage may prove to be fatal ones, once you start using the car.

Export cars USA

To export cars USA is the favourite destination. Recently there have been many people as well as organizations who have expressed their desire to export car from USA to Nigeria. Before you go to a car exporter, however, it is advisable to look around for the various brands, models and colours that are available in the market. While looking for a used car the best option is to buy the off-leased used car. Such a car is very well maintained, is usually handled by one person and possesses that impeccable look as well as the required built-in features. These days in USA cars for sale also have special offerings. Even the used cars for sale can come with a warranty. The catch here is that if the car is still within the warranty period, the factory warranty can get transferred to the new owner at the presentation of proper documents. Auctionexport.com can be of great help here with all the legal and lawful proceedings

What car would you like to buy? And what engine would you prefer?

Each class of the various cars has its leaders and of course more complex and expensive cars are not well suited for harsh environments. But they have their own leaders and those who are lagging behind in the necessary volume of service and the probability of failure.

Middle Class Engines

We begin immediately with the common good one of the middle class. This category opens up a series of engines from Hyundai / Kia / Mitsubishi G4KD / 4B11.

These two-liter engines are the heirs of the famous Mitsubishi 4G63, including their reliability. There was also a variable valve timing system, and in its drive is a very robust chain. There is a simple power system and good quality. Motor power is high – 150-165 hp. This is more than enough to drive any C-Class with any load on the highway and in the city, with automatic transmission and with “mechanics”. A huge number of such engines are put on such cars as Hyundai i30, Kia Cerato, Mitsubishi Lancer and other passenger cars and crossovers of higher class: Mitsubishi ASX, Outlander, Hyundai Sonata, Elantra, ix35 and Kia Optima.

For used cars USA is supposed to be the best place of bargain. Anybody who possesses the knowledge of the car he wants to buy and is well versed with the model, make and features of the car, can go for negotiation and get the car of his dreams at unimaginable prices. The purchaser, however, should be very patient while hunting for his car and should gather all proper sources during his hunt. A patience search and an intelligence choice is sure to yield the best quality car to the purchaser.

KODO Design

Contours of the body correspond to the new design concept of the Japanese group, called “KODO”, which means “soul of motion.” Hood starts with an impressive shield grille of complex shape and slender lines of the front optics. LED headlamps. Feed is a cross between a minivan and a sport hatchback. With impressive dimensions (5065 mm), the body does not seem cumbersome. This can be seen in the photo. This effect was achieved by successful stampings on the side panels. The enlarged base of 55 mm (2930 mm), with a decrease in the front and rear overhang of 30 mm adds some elan. Dimensions became smaller, and the internal space on the contrary, more spacious in favor of passengers. Size of the boot remained unchanged and there is no need to increase it.

How to export cars and automobile from America?

It is not easy to own a car unless you are ready to part with your entire savings. Even though the automobile sector has got very competitive, the prices of cars are still on the higher side. However, USA rules in this industry and can cater to demand of every kind of buyer. With its huge collections of new and used cars, it can easily sell you something which you can afford. The good thing is that you need not be a native of USA to buy a car from there. It is now very convenient to order one online and get it exported from there.

Re: Tips for car owners and those who are looking for a car! by CarXus: 3:15pm On Feb 19, 2016
The best way to export cars from America is through the assistance of a professional dealer. The dealer also doubles up as a transporter since it is his duty to see to it that the car is safely delivered to your doorstep. Since, the country has a number of buyers from different parts of the planet, these dealers have to be very efficient and quick in their services. Internet shall be your biggest ally in this context. You are just one Google away from finding a great website which not just sells you an automobile of your choice but also goes ahead to help you with its transport.

The cost of shipping would vary depending on the carӳ quality, weight, size and the distance between the two ports. The dealer would help you in the matter by giving you detailed information about the costs involved to export cars.

A Hybrid Buying Guide for the Newbie


Currently, hybrid cars comprise a small percentage of the overall U.S car market. However, fuel-efficiency, and environmental concerns are getting car buyers to think about these cars. Though these cars are expensive and carry high insurance cost, they are more economic fuel wise, and the credits by the Government, such as “carpool lane usage” are reasons good enough to buy them.

Options available to hybrid car buyers have increased in 2010 in terms of brands and style of the body. The new ‘federal fuel economy’ directive are pushing auto-makers to manufacture cars that are more consumer-friendly and sportier.

SUVs

The hybrids in SUVs launched this year have done away with the ‘gas guzzling’ issue which SUVs are generally infamous for. All those who look for the hauling abilities in these cars can breathe a sigh of relief.

The ‘front wheel drive’ versions of the Ford Escape, The Mazda Tribute and The Mercury Mariner provide excellent fuel economy. Their hybrid setup is designed by Toyota. They are apt for car buyers who want a higher cargo space and a conventional look.

Toyota launched its midsize SUV, Highlander hybrid. It has a seating capacity of seven, A-grade interior design and is available for $35000. Though the fuel economy isn’t that great, it makes for a good family car.

If you are looking for an up market midsized SUV, you can go for the Lexus RX 450h. Though the seating capacity is only 5, this car which comes in two versions – FWD and AWD provides the best fuel efficiency.

The Escalade launched by Cadillac is the biggest and most luxurious hybrid SUV. The price starts from $73,425 and offers sumptuous driving experience and superior interior. The rear-wheel drive model provides fuel efficiency of 20 mpg.

Auto import export: How to avoid legal & custom-related hurdles

The custom laws of USA are pretty stringent and a number of regulations & formalities have to be followed during the auto import export of cars. Firstly, you must ensure that you have abided by all the legalities and are ready to furnish any relevant document (such as the dealer’s license) that may be required. You can go through the list of mandatory regulations as published by the American Customs department. Failure to abide by all the guidelines will cause delay and undesirable inconvenience.

The Customs officers will go through all the papers in a meticulous fashion and it’s best to co-operate with them by presenting, without fail, important documents like the purchase invoice, license, other relevant bills, papers of registration certificate, etc.

Other Do’s and Don’ts: The US government is pretty wary of infections, dirt and germs that come with auto import export of cars. Quite often, people forget to clean the vehicle’s undercarriage which can cause delays in transport since the security officers can be pretty demanding about things like hygiene.

If you are not familiar with the intricate laws of the country, then it will be prudent to hire the services of an agent or broker who can advice you during the entire procedure. There are also issues relating to the duties & taxes which always arise whenever a purchase/sale or export/import of an expensive vehicle takes place.

Critic’s tip: Take the consultation of transport experts from the approved, licensed and recognized Auction Export.
