Why is it worth importing cars from the USA?

This can save you up to 50% compared to buying the same model in Lithuania or other European countries. In addition, cars in the US often have better equipment than equivalent models in Europe.

Choosing the right car

When choosing a car, it is important to carefully review the provided information about its condition, look at the photos, and check the vehicle's history using the VIN code. Many entrepreneurs consult with local mechanics before buying a car at an auction. This helps assess the repair costs and make an informed decision. They often use Carfax reports, which provide detailed information about the car's history, including accidents and actual mileage.

Repair process

Car repair is a crucial step in increasing their value before resale. First, it is necessary to determine what work needs to be done and assess the costs. Some entrepreneurs, after finding a damaged car at an auction, turn to local auto repair shops to find out the cost of the car's repairs. This helps in making the decision to purchase the car.
