Why is importing from the USA cheaper?
Direct access to insurance auctions
Buy directly on Copart and IAA auctions - no middlemen and additional margins.
No middlemen and dealer markup
Polish dealers add a 30-60% markup. By importing yourself, you bypass this cost.
Lower accident prices vs European market
Damaged cars in the USA are significantly cheaper than comparable vehicles in Europe.
Strong dollar - favorable exchange rate
The USD/PLN exchange rate makes American prices competitive after conversion.
