Found a car in France yourself?
An interesting listing is the starting point. Before planning a purchase or trip, you can have the listing reviewed. We look at the photos, description and asking price, highlighting visible concerns and questions for the seller.
A listing check costs €29 including VAT for one car. Need the car collected? You will receive a separate quotation in advance based on distance, travel time and the agreed work.
Bezichtiging, ophalen en vervoer worden apart afgesproken. De offerte vermeldt de werkzaamheden, reis- en transportkosten en wie ze uitvoert.
Kosten van de auto en derden
Aankoopprijs, eventuele BPM, RDW, kentekenplaten, technische inspectie en verzekering staan apart. Alleen wat expliciet in de offerte staat, is inbegrepen.
Auto + afgesproken begeleiding + vervoer + belastingen en registratie = jouw totaalbudget. Bij geselecteerd aanbod is €500 commissie al in de getoonde prijs opgenomen. De offerte specificeert de werkzaamheden, bijkomende kosten en hoe eventuele eerder afgenomen adviespakketten worden meegenomen.
Assess the car and seller
Compare specification, options, maintenance and reported damage. Ask for photos and documents if French descriptions are unclear. Establish the owner, seller and payment recipient. A listing review does not replace an inspection.
Documents before payment
Before paying, ask for the original carte grise (French registration document), invoice or purchase agreement and certificat de cession (transfer form). Request the certificat de situation administrative and ask the seller to share the HistoVec report. Review available maintenance records and the contrôle technique. Confirm which original documents come with the car.
Official information on documents and registration:
Distance between northern and southern France affects timing and transport costs. Coordinate payment, release, collection and original documents. If driving yourself, first check the registration and insurance needed for the full route.
Where is the car going?
Your language or nationality does not determine the import process. The buying country, documents and registration country matter. We discuss each enquiry individually; local registration, customs and transport are included only by agreement.
Want a car from France checked or collected? These details help us discuss your enquiry.
Car and seller
Send the listing, VIN and available service records. Ask which original documents will be handed over at collection and whether additional detail photos are available.
Price and scope
Provide the exact location in France and preferred collection period. Before booking travel, confirm when payment will be cleared and the car released.
Collection and destination
Include the destination country, delivery town and preferred schedule. A pre-purchase check, collection and local registration are separate tasks; we agree which parts your instruction covers.
Compare the full budget, not just the asking price
The agreed purchase price of the car.
Agreed checks, purchase assistance and our fee.
Transport and the applicable registration, tax and other costs for your destination.
Share your total budget. Our quotation describes our work; third-party costs and tasks you arrange yourself are discussed separately.
What do you receive from our assistance?
You receive feedback on the agreed checks and the information available. We discuss outstanding questions and next steps. Reviewing photos or documents is not a technical inspection; an on-site visit is agreed separately.
Our homepage shows our own photos of cars we have collected and short practical videos. View the footage and read how we work before discussing your instruction.
Can I enquire about a car in any European country?
Yes, send the listing and destination. We assess the support available for that location and route. An enquiry is not a commitment to carry out every import stage.
What does purchase support cost?
Remote support is available in three packages per car: listing check €29, detailed purchase research €99 and remote purchase assistance €249, including VAT. When upgrading for the same car, your earlier package payment is credited. Visits, collection and other on-site work are always quoted based on distance, travel time and scope. The car purchase price, actual vehicle transport, taxes and registration costs are outside these packages.
Is a listing review the same as an inspection?
No. A listing review uses available information. An inspection examines the car on site and is agreed separately. It cannot rule out every hidden defect either.
Do you automatically handle everything through registration?
No. We agree which steps we handle and what you or other parties arrange. Responsibilities for buying, documents, transport and local formalities are clear in advance.
Is importing always cheaper?
No. Compare total costs, specification, condition and terms with suitable local offers. A lower advertised price does not automatically mean a better purchase.
What happens after I enquire?
We review your listing or requirements and discuss options, missing information and fees. Agreed work starts after your approval.
