When buying vehicles from another country, the biggest concern for most dealers is not the price: it is trust. Who am I really paying? Will the cars actually be there? Many buyers have heard of, or experienced, deals where money was sent to a trader and the cars never arrived. That is why we work in one simple way: the invoice comes from the supplier, and you pay the supplier directly.
1. What this means in practice
We find the cars, compare them with the market and put buyer and supplier in contact. But we never stand between you and the money:
The proforma and the final invoice are issued by the supplier, in your company's name.
You pay by bank transfer directly to the supplier's company account.
The cars are collected from the supplier, with your own transport, once the payment has been received.
2. How a deal works, step by step
- Offer: we send you the list of available cars with net prices.
- Confirmation: you confirm the cars you want, after asking for photos, damage reports and any other information.
- Proforma: the supplier sends you the proforma invoice in your company's name.
- Payment: you pay the supplier directly by bank transfer.
- Collection and documents: you collect the cars and receive the final invoice and the documents from the supplier. See how buying from Italy works
3. Why it protects you
You know who you are paying: a registered company with a VAT number you can check, not an intermediary's account.
The seller is the owner of the cars: the invoice comes from whoever actually has the vehicles.
Clear documents for VAT: the invoice is issued between seller and buyer, as the tax rules require for intra-community supplies.
No money held by third parties: we never receive or hold your payment.
4. How to protect yourself when buying vehicles in Europe
These checks are useful for every deal, with us or with anyone else:
Check the VAT number on VIES: the company issuing the invoice must have a valid EU VAT number.
Check the bank account: the account on the proforma should be in the name of the company issuing it, ideally in the same country.
Confirm any change of bank details by phone: if you receive an email saying "our bank details have changed", call the supplier on a number you already know before paying. Fake emails with changed bank details are one of the most common frauds.
Never pay to private accounts or to companies different from the one on the invoice.
Ask for details before paying: VINs, photos, registration documents, damage reports.
How we work
We source batches of new, KM0 and used cars and vans from dealers and fleets and offer them to buyers across Europe. Invoice and payment always go directly to the supplier, and transport is organised by the buyer.
