FAQ - Frequently asked questions
What is an EC import / re-import / EU vehicle anyway?
Vehicles that were produced by the manufacturer for the "foreign market" and that are then imported back to Germany are referred to as EG import / reimport / EU vehicle.
Does the vehicle have a factory warranty?
The new cars we import ALL have 2 or 3 year new car guarantee, depending on the manufacturer's specifications. You can have your vehicle serviced and any warranty work carried out by any contractual partner within the EU. It is also possible to purchase a new vehicle warranty extension.
Why are imported vehicles cheaper?
On the one hand there is a certain difference in the different tax systems, on the other hand the vehicles are offered more cheaply in other EC countries than in Germany due to the income situation (purchasing power).
You also benefit from our good purchasing conditions as a major customer.
Are there technical differences between EC import vehicles?
No. The technical equipment is identical in every EU country. In the EU there have been uniform approval guidelines for motor vehicles since 1993. The vehicles are therefore equipped with a COC paper (EEC certificate of conformity). ALL VEHICLES MANUFACTURED IN THE EU MUST MEET THE SAME BASIC TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS.
Are imported vehicles equipped differently?
The vehicles in the EC can sometimes be equipped differently depending on the country. For example, vehicles from southern imported countries already have air conditioning in their basic equipment, but the side airbags are only available for an extra charge (order), vehicles from northern imported countries are predominantly available already equipped with heated seats. However, we always provide you with a detailed list of series / optional extras so that you can compare yourself.
What is a daily registration for EU vehicles?
A daily registration is required for some vehicles, as some of our suppliers are only allowed to export registered vehicles. The vehicle is registered for one day and deregistered on the next day. The guarantee therefore begins on the day of first registration.
Are there any problems with admission?
No. From us you get every new EU vehicle ready for registration including the registration documents and 3 years TÜV and AU.
COC (EEC declaration of conformity)
We will provide you with the appropriate COC for your vehicle. This means that your vehicle can be registered at any registration office.
Can I finance / lease my dream vehicle?
Yes, payment can be made in cash, by LZB check, by advance transfer and by financing or leasing. Our sales team will be happy to help you!
Which tires are fitted as standard on the vehicle?
All vehicles are always delivered with summer tires.
Is it true that EU vehicles are often equipped with inferior brakes, chassis, thin fabric covers, etc.?
No!!! This is not true. All European vehicles are produced in the same production facility. For vehicle manufacturers, it would be very costly to equip individual vehicles with other assemblies.
No deposit.
With us you do not have to pay a deposit on the vehicle you have ordered.
Purchase contract according to German law.
The purchase contract with you is of course in accordance with German law.
Do EU vehicles meet the emission standards?
EU vehicles are absolutely identical in this regard. EU vehicles are just as environmentally friendly as vehicles that can be bought from German dealers.
Are there any other costs for me?
All of our vehicle offers include VAT, transport costs to our warehouse in 57223 Kreuztal, registration documents and a stamped service booklet. The only additional costs you incur are the registration fees and the cost of your vehicle registration number at your location. We will send you the required vehicle documents by post before the vehicle is delivered.
