Salvage, Rebuilt, or Clean: Which Title to Choose
Buying a car at US auctions stopped being exotic a long time ago. Let's look at how it works in practice and where the real costs hide.
How the Price Is Built
The final cost is made up of the winning bid, auction fees, US inland logistics, ocean freight, and customs clearance in Ukraine. We show every stage in the calculator as a separate line item — no hidden fees.
The biggest savings come from access to the same lots that dealers see, without a reseller's markup.
What to Check Before You Bid
- Title type (Clean / Rebuilt / Salvage)
- VIN report: accident history and mileage
- Auction photos of the damage
If the report reveals hidden problems, we don't place a bid — and the deposit is refunded in full.
How a Carfax / AutoCheck report protects you from rolled-back mileage and hidden accidents before you even bid.
We break down how bidding works, who dealers are, and how to get access to the same lots that resellers see.
Excise tax, VAT, import duty, and the pension fund fee, using a real sedan as an example — we calculate the final amount down to the last kopeck.
