Recently, gasoline prices have a constant upward trend, and the Ukrainian market has been using an alternative type of fuel for a long time – gas. In this regard, I propose to draw your attention to the delivery and sale of vehicles with a purely gas engine from the domestic market of Korea.

The Ukrainian car market is characterized by a large number of cars with a 4-generation gas installation. It has both pros and cons. Korean cars are equipped with an LPi engine, which, in essence, is a factory installation of the 5th generation of LPG equipment, which does not require any structural modifications or the intervention of technical specialists. On the 5th generation of LPG, there is no reducer in which the gas turns into a vaporous state, respectively, there is no need to use a gasoline mixture for cooling or to warm up the engine so that it reaches operating temperatures. Moreover, there is no gas tank on Korean cars, the cars only use gas. The gas flows through the injectors directly into the combustion chamber of the engine. According to the scheme of work, such a fuel supply is similar to that of GDI gasoline engines or the Commonrail diesel system.

The market of Korean car manufacturers is represented by the following brands:

  • Hyundai
  • KIA Motors
  • Renault Samsung
  • Ssangyong
  • GMDaewoo

Hyundai and KIA cars are in the greatest demand, we are talking about the following models:

Now a few words about the ways and methods of purchasing cars and their differences. Firstly, in Korea there are certain restrictions on the sale of used cars, most often cars that have been in operation for about 3 years are offered for sale. To facilitate the development of business and protect the interests of its own manufacturers, the Korean government imposes additional taxes. tax on owners of cars less than 3 years old, in case they want to sell their car for export. Therefore, that current moment, most often cars of 2014-2016 model year are sent to Ukraine.

Second, it should be understood that the vast majority of these vehicles were used in commercial activities (taxi, rental car, personal taxi, delivery service, etc.). This does not mean that they are in poor technical condition, but at the same time, most of these cars have mileage from 100 thousand km.

Third, the place of purchase. At the moment, there are 3 known directions in the purchase of these cars:

  • Autowini.com
  • Internal auctions (Lotte, AJ, etc.)
  • Purchasing cars directly from rentals, banks, etc.

Autowini.com website

It is considered the largest online platform for selling used cars for export in Korea. In fact, this is an analogue of the Ukrainian sites Autoria.ua or RST.ua, with the only difference that in Ukraine both “private traders” and car dealerships are published there, and legal entities and used equipment dealers work on autowini.com.

Pros:

  • a huge market for used cars;
  • managers who are ready to answer questions of interest within their competence;
  • loyal prices for cars;
  • a large number of photographs of the car, for review;
  • you can find a car of any configuration and for any price segment.

Minuses:

  • runs are twisted on ALL cars;
  • often sold cars that have been recovered after an accident;
  • it is impossible to trace the “history of the car”, dealers only give a certificate of deregistration;
  • in fact, the potential customer is buying a pig in a poke.

It makes sense to use this site if you are engaged in purely resale of cars, or if there is an opportunity at the service station to bring possible flaws to an adequate state.

Internal auctions

At internal auctions, rentals sell their cars, which they decided to replace for one reason or another. Held in Korea, 2-3 times a week.

Pros:

  • you can track the history of the car;
  • it is possible to check the car before purchase – paintwork, damage to the body;
  • selection of cars according to the client’s criteria;

Minuses:

  • a Korean company is needed for bidding at domestic auctions, so most often sellers in Ukraine either fly to Korea themselves to find contacts with such companies, either find them remotely, or open their own companies;
  • for verification, a company representative must go to the auction site and inspect the cars on their own;
  • prices may be slightly higher than on Autowini.com

Purchase directly from rentals, banks, etc. Cars that have not yet been put up for auction, you can try to pick them up from their real owners for a lower price.

Pros:

  • you can track the history of the car;
  • it is possible to check the car before purchase – paintwork, damage to the body;
  • selection of cars according to the client’s criteria;
  • sellers themselves can advise which cars are in good condition;
  • often sold in lots of 5-7 pieces;

Minuses:

  • a Korean company is definitely needed, for which these cars will be purchased and which will act as an exporter.
  • often cars are sold in extremely cheap trim levels, it is necessary to bring them to an adequate condition or sell at a lower price in the configuration in which they go.

Car delivery methods from Korea.

At the moment, we can consider 2 ways of delivering cars from Korea – sending cars by containers or Ro-Ro services (K-Line, MOL).

To make the transportation economically feasible, 4 cars are usually loaded into a container and sent to the ports of “Big Odessa”. The peculiarities of such a dispatch are that the machines can be damaged during loading / unloading, in addition, it is necessary to wait for consolidation until 4 machines are typed to be dispatched.

Loading scheme:

Sending cars by a car carrier means cars entering the ship on their own, usually all new cars are sent this way.

On board the vessel, they are attached in such a way as not to cause damage during transport. Cars arrive at the ferry complex in Chornomorsk, where they are unloaded to the warehouse.

The cost of a set of services.

In case the cargo is sent in a container. The cost of loading and freight to the ports of Ukraine is about 950-1000 USD. USA for a car, provided that 4 cars are loaded into a container.

Upon arrival of the container in Ukraine, it is necessary to go through the following steps:

  • unloading a container from a ship;
  • disbandment of the container;
  • car forwarding;
  • customs clearance.

In total, the standard rate for the port of Odessa (Euroterminal) is currently 550-650 dollars for a range of services, but additional charges are added to this amount. expenses such as storage of a container, parking at the terminal, etc. and a separate broker.

The cost of storing a car in the port is $ 4 / day (for the first 10 days), then the cost of storage increases.

This rate does not include the cost of certification and rework of the gas valve, which differs from the Ukrainian standard.

In the case of sending a car by a car carrier, the cost of freight is calculated from the volume that the car occupies, on average, the cost of delivery falls within the range of 1450-1550 dollars. The rate includes costs for the port, unloading, forwarding, brokerage are paid separately – 300 dollars. USA for the complex. It also does not include the cost of certification and rework of the gas valve. The cost of customs clearance of such cars ranges from $ 2,200 to $ 4100, depending on the model and year of manufacture (prices as of July-August 2019).

The price of similar cars in Ukraine:

  1. The car is in basic configuration, with air conditioning, without heated steering wheel, seats, without cruise control. Price – $ 14,000 USA

2. A similar vehicle as standard. Price – $ 17,500.00 USA.

3. Comparable equipment with the selected vehicle. Price – $ 17,000.00 USA

The scheme for buying a car is as follows:

  • After choosing a car, the Korean side issues an invoice for payment for the car. When it comes to individuals, most often they pay through Privatbank.
  • The client pays the invoice for the selected car + the cost of freight forwarders in Korea. This completes the initial payments.
  • Upon the arrival of the cars in Chornomorsk, it is necessary to pay for sea freight, a set of services for unloading a car from a ferry, forwarding services, brokerage services, payment to customs for customs clearance, EURO-5 certification and replacement of a gas valve.
  • As Agents in Ukrainian ports, we can collect freight payments in Ukraine, so we will collect the cost of sea transportation after the arrival of the vessel. This allows you to save working capital and invest it, say, in another car.
