How to Buy a Used Car from Korea
Six steps from the first link you send us to the car arriving at your port.
-
Choose a Vehicle
Find the car you want on Encar, KB Chachacha or a Korean auto auction, then send us the exact vehicle link through the Request form or by email (apixauto@outlook.com). The exact link is what lets us quote quickly and accurately.
-
Vehicle Pre-Inspection
Before any money moves, we verify the history and condition through official records, contact the seller directly for details, and confirm with you whether the car is worth buying.
-

You receive a Proforma Invoice with the vehicle details, the total price and T/T payment instructions.

Shipping Methods
RORO vs container shipping
RORO (Roll-on / Roll-off)
The car is driven onto the vessel in Korea and driven off at your port — no container involved. The most widely used way to ship vehicles.
Benefits
- Usually cheaper and faster than a container
- Simple loading and customs handling
Considerations
- Nothing may be carried inside the car
- The car is exposed to the weather at sea
- Only certain ports offer RORO service
Estimated cost About $300–$1,500 depending on destination and carrier
Container (Container Shipping)
The car is secured inside a 20ft or 40ft container, so personal belongings can travel with it.
Benefits
- Car and personal cargo ship together
- Better protection from weather and theft
- Suits countries with strict customs rules
Considerations
- Costs more than RORO
- More loading work and paperwork
- Longer preparation and transit
Estimated cost 20ft container: from about $1,200 40ft container: from about $1,500
