Importing used cars from South Korea

Importing used cars from Korea

South Korea is one of the notable representatives of the global auto industry. Generally, 90% of Korean cars use diesel fuel. Gasoline and hybrid options are also available, though less commonly.

What are the advantages of Korean cars? Why should you import a car from Korea?

Korean auctions, similar to stock markets, offer a wide selection of undamaged or slightly damaged cars.

​

In South Korea, the system of official car service centers is well-established, involving the replacement of damaged parts with new ones. This service is not commonly available in other countries. As a result, used Korean cars often have high specifications, and undamaged models are more readily available, helping you save both time and money.

​What brands of cars are available in the Korean market?

The leading car brands are Hyundai, Kia Motors, GM Daewoo (Chevrolet), Renault Samsung Motors, and Mercedes-Benz.

Most used Korean cars are in pristine condition or well-restored.

​What is the cost of importing cars from Korea?

The cost of importing a car from Korea is considered standard, covering both domestic and sea shipping. However, force majeure events, such as war and conflict, may affect the shipping process and potentially alter the shipping cost.

Is the mileage on used Korean cars reliable?

Recently, there's been a prevalent belief that all Korean second-hand cars have low mileage. We can confidently say that this is a myth and does not reflect reality. For instance, consider Autowini.com, a leading site for Korean cars, where our company, Auto Import Georgia, serves as the official representative in Georgia.

​

Autowini offers a wide and varied selection of used Korean cars. The site features vehicles from private individuals, dealers, and companies, including those that are undamaged, slightly damaged, or heavily damaged. Each listing includes the car's mileage, which, in some cases, may have been artificially altered.

​

On this site, you will find both high-mileage Korean cars with artificially modified or lowered mileage and those with genuinely low mileage. The listing information clearly indicates whether the mileage is "Actual" or "Not Actual":

• Actual: The mileage is original and real (not artificially altered).

• Not Actual: The mileage has been artificially changed or lowered.

The difference is significant: cars with reduced mileage are typically much cheaper than those with original mileage. If you're looking to import a used Korean car at a lower cost, this site is an excellent resource.
