How it works

From order to plates on the car

We do not sell cars off a lot. We find the car, inspect it at the source, bring it in and register it. You sign a price, not an estimate.

The process

Five steps, none of them hidden

  1. 01

    You choose the model

    You tell us your budget and what you are after. We send you real cars with final on-the-road prices. Not a "from" price.

  2. 02

    We inspect the car

    We order a Chabosi report on that particular car: real mileage, service history, damage, battery condition. You get the report and photographs of the car before you pay anything.

  3. 03

    Shipping and customs

    We handle shipping, customs (10% duty, 21% Romanian VAT) and the paperwork. You sign a fixed-price contract; unforeseen costs stay with us.

  4. 04

    RAR type approval

    We put the car through individual type approval at RAR and obtain its Romanian registration certificate. Without that, a car imported from China is just an expensive object.

  5. 05

    Registration and handover

    We hand the car over registered, with plates on it and all its documents. From then on servicing is yours, but we tell you where it can be done.

The journey, piece by piece

From China to Romanian plates

Eight to sixteen weeks means nothing until you see what it is made of. The five to seven weeks at sea are the part nobody can shorten.

  1. 1–2 weeks

    Shanghai, Ningbo or Guangzhou

    Purchase, export paperwork, inland transport to the port and loading onto the ship.

  2. 5–7 weeks

    At sea

    From the Chinese port to a European one, usually in the north of the continent. The route and the vessel are chosen for each shipment, from what is available.

  3. 1–3 weeks

    Customs clearance in the EU

    Unloading, the customs declaration, the 10% duty and 21% VAT, then road transport to Romania.

  4. 1–4 weeks

    RAR and registration

    Individual type approval, the registration certificate, the registration file and the plates.

Limitele serviciului

Ce nu facem

Suntem importator autorizat, independent de producători: nu reprezentăm nicio marcă, nu avem service propriu și nu oferim garanție comercială. Ne ocupăm de găsirea, verificarea, aducerea și înmatricularea mașinii. După predare, întreținerea rămâne la tine.

Preferăm să pierdem un client la prima discuție decât să îl dezamăgim la prima defecțiune. Dacă ai nevoie de rețea de service și garanție de fabrică, o marcă prezentă oficial în România e alegerea corectă, și ți-o spunem noi.

Limite

Fără garanție, fără service

O scriem pe prima pagină. Dacă ai nevoie de rețea, o marcă prezentă în România e alegerea corectă.

Pe scurt

Trei lucruri facem, și le facem pe tot drumul

01

Căutăm

Îți spui bugetul și ce vrei. Ne uităm ce se poate aduce și îți trimitem variantele reale, cu preț final la cheie.

02

Verificăm

Cerem un raport Chabosi pe exemplarul acela: rulaj real, istoric de service, daune, starea bateriei. Îl primești pe el și fotografiile mașinii tale, nu ale uneia asemănătoare.

03

Aducem

Transport, vamă (10% taxă, 21% TVA), omologare RAR, înmatriculare. Îți predăm mașina cu numere pe ea.

Instead of reviews

What the contract says

We have no customer reviews yet, and we do not write our own. Until then, here are four things you can check before you pay, not after.

  1. 01

    The price in the contract is the final price

    You sign a figure that includes the car, shipping, customs duty, VAT, type approval and registration. If freight rates rise or the exchange rate moves, the difference is ours. There is no "something else came up".

  2. 02

    You see the car before you pay

    The Chabosi inspection report and photographs of your car — not of a similar one — reach you before any transfer. If you do not like what you see, we look for another.

  3. 03

    A flat fee of 1.500 €, itemised separately

    It appears as its own line in the quote, not folded into the price. On a €30,000 car that is 5,0%; on an €80,000 one, 1,9%. The work is the same, so the fee is the same.

  4. 04

    If the car fails RAR, you get your money back

    Individual type approval is our risk, not yours. We pick cars that pass; if one does not, we return everything you have paid, our fee included.

Once you have it

Parts and servicing, plainly

We have no workshop of our own, so there is nothing for us to sell you here. What follows is what we learned importing these cars, so you know what you are taking on.

2–5 daysusual wait

Consumables are available in Romania

Pads, discs, filters, wipers, dampers, transmission oil. These are high-volume parts, made by the same suppliers who deliver to European brands. Any parts shop will order them by part number.

3–6 weeksshipped from China

Body panels are ordered in

Headlights, bonnets, bumpers, mirrors. They do not sit on a shelf in Europe, but they are ordered from China through the same suppliers we buy the cars from. We give you their contacts so you can order directly. We run no workshop and hold no parts.

3 citiesworkshops we know of

Battery and electronics need a specialist

Diagnostics on these cars need the right tool and the right software. There are workshops in Bucharest, Cluj and Timișoara that work on Chinese brands. We give you the list before you buy, not after.

The awkward questions

Le punem noi primii

What happens if it breaks?

We have no workshop of our own and we offer no commercial warranty. Our cars have under 15,000 km and electric drivetrains have few moving parts. But if something fails, the repair is yours to pay for. We tell you this before the contract, not after.

Why is there no warranty?

Because a manufacturer warranty is honoured through the official network, and these brands have no network in Romania yet. Anyone promising you a factory warranty on a car imported individually from China either does not know how it works or is hoping you will not ask.

Where do spare parts come from?

They are ordered from China, or from European markets where the brand is already present. The realistic wait is two to six weeks. For ordinary consumables — filters, pads, tyres — locally available equivalents are used.

How long does the whole process take?

Eight to sixteen weeks from order to plates, depending on the model and availability. The sea crossing alone takes five to seven weeks. We give you a firm date in the quote, not an optimistic estimate.

Can the price change along the way?

No. You sign a contract with a final price that includes shipping, the 10% customs duty, 21% Romanian VAT, type approval and registration. If unforeseen costs appear on the way, they stay with us.

Can I see it before I pay?

You get the Chabosi report and photographs of the actual car before any payment. For models we have already imported, you can test drive one here.

Tell us what you are after

Budget, type of car, how soon you want it. We send you real cars with final on-the-road prices within two working days.
