The budget for purchasing a car from the US and Canada depends on what you want to get. If your budget is very limited, the minimum cost of purchasing a car from US auto auctions, including all services that we can guarantee, is $10,000. But remember: the larger your budget, the more exciting options we can offer you and consider together. This will also greatly simplify the search for the perfect car for you.

In addition to the cost of the car, you also need to consider the costs of customs clearance, logistics, and a “safety guarantee” for your new purchase. On average, these costs add approximately 25-30% to the price. But don't worry, we will spell everything out for you in detail before you make your first payment, as we value honesty and transparency in our customer relations. Here is an approximate list of costs you are likely to encounter when buying a car from the US:

• The cost of the car at auction (final bid + auction commission);
• Logistics from the auction to the port of Odessa;i>
• Our services;
• Freight forwarding and brokerage services — $650;
• Vehicle registration, parking at the port, and tow truck service — $50;
• Car customs clearance;
• Delivery of the vehicle to your city if you are not a resident of Odessa;
• Repair;
• Certification;
• Vehicle registration
• “Safety guarantee”

1. After selecting a car from the US and before the auction begins, we sign a contract with you, and you are required to make a prepayment (the amount depends on the cost of the lot at auction). This is a deposit that will be included in the total cost. At your request, the deposit can be refunded in full, but only before participating in the auction, so that we are not fined.

2. Within 7 days after purchasing the car, you must pay: the cost of the winning bid, the auction commission, the cost of ground transportation of the car from the US to the port, the cost of sea logistics, and our personal commission for the company's services. Payment can be made through any bank convenient for you.

3. After the ship with cars from the US arrives in Odessa or Klaipeda, you will need to pay customs duties, freight forwarding and brokerage services, as well as parking at the port.

Subsequent expenses that you will incur include: the cost of transporting the car to your city (if you are not from Odessa), repairing the car from America, certification, and registration of the car.

Buying a car from the US or Canada is a great opportunity to get a good deal. But there are also some risks that cannot be ignored:

• Hidden damage in photos of the car may look fine, but in reality it may have serious defects.
• Incomplete documentation: without experience, you may purchase a car from the US with registration issues or legal restrictions.
• Unfortunate history of the car: flooding, serious accidents, fraudulent repairs — these things are not always immediately apparent.
• Unexpected costs: additional payments for customs clearance, repairs, or certification that are not initially disclosed.

ZvigerAuto minimizes risks:

• We only work with trusted car auctions in the US and Canada with impeccable reputations.
• We thoroughly check each car—from its technical condition to its legal status.
• We conduct a full history check before purchasing a car from the US and delivering it from the US: only real photos, Carfax/Window Sticker/Vin Decoder reports, VIN code verification.
• We calculate all costs transparently — no surprises at the delivery or registration stage.
• We support the customer at every stage: from choosing a car to handing over the keys to the customer.

With ZvigerAuto, you get a car that is 100% in line with your expectations and budget — without stress, risks, or unpleasant surprises.

A deposit is a guarantee of the seriousness of your intentions. We cannot reserve a car at an auction in the US without this step. It is part of the process that allows us to secure the purchase without any losses for our business. If you don't trust us, you can check out our reviews and see for yourself how reliable our service is.

Yes, of course, we insure cars from America against damage during transportation, but this is a separate service provided by the company. Zvigerauto compensates for various types of damage, whether it is minor damage to mirrors or complete destruction of the car, for example, during a fire. In all the time our company has been operating (more than 8 years), there has never been a case of complete destruction of a car, but damage during loading and unloading does occur — it is rare, but it is better to be insured. The cost of insurance is 3% or 6% of the value of the car itself. For example, if the car costs $3,000, the insurance will cost $90 or $180, respectively. This service is not mandatory, and you decide whether you need it, but we certainly recommend that you purchase it!
