2. The search and purchase order for a new or pre-owned ( occasion) car.

You want us to look for and purchase a new or a perfect pre-owned low-miles car in Florida? Then give us a search and purchase order.

  • We draft a clear contract in which it is agreed that we search and buy the best available car at the best price.  You benefit from our extensive knowledge and local network.
  • We select, inspect and propose the car(s) to you and we buy it if you are fully happy with it.
  • You will receive photo's and a description before we buy the car.
  • The car is personally inspected by us and we contractually guarantee a good car, with the desired specifications.
  • If the car has still factory warranty, we will bring it to the dealer for a full check-up. In the case something is not 100%, the dealer will change or repair this under factory warranty.
  • All pre-owned cars are without damage, well maintained, low miles (or new), with maintenance and instruction booklets, 2 sets of keys, etc).
  • If we do not find a suitable car for you within 4 weeks, we will pay back the 10% deposit back minus € 200.

3. The payment procedure for a new or pre-owned quality car

Because we are a specialized import company and not a dealer or garage, you pay in 4 terms  instead of 1 term.

  • Payment 1: Deposit of 10% upon signing of purchase order.
  • Payment 2: Payment of the car before it leaves the U.S. in a sea container *.
  • Payment 3: import duty and VAT you pay after the arrival of the car in Europe.
  • Payment 4: A 4th payment is only required in the case we arrange the local transportation and registration (title). We can arrange the complete registration in Belgium, France, Germany and Holland. For other countries, we can provide a German title ( KFZ Brief) which enables you to get a local registration or we can deliver the car with the original American tile or MSO.

*Before paying you will have photo's, copy of title / MSO, copy of transport insurance document. Furthermore, you will receive a "track & trace" code to follow the container with your car on internet.
