Cars from the USA Delivered to Lviv — Through the Stat.VIN Platform
On Stat.vin, finding a lot, bidding at Copart and IAAI, payment, customs calculation and cargo tracking are all rolled into one account. Thanks to its proximity to the EU border, the Lviv route is considered one of the platform's best-tuned: routes and customs partners here are chosen to shorten the trip and avoid holdups at the crossings.
Lot Data with No Gaps
Before you bid, you can study everything the auction knows: the number of previous owners, actual mileage, damage type, key availability and title status. Dozens of quality photos accompany the lot, and often a video of the engine starting. Stat.vin also pulls up the past auction archive for this VIN — earlier sale prices, how the bidding went and photos from back then — so you understand the true market value and don't overpay.
How US Car Auctions Are Structured
Thousands of lots go up for sale at Copart and IAAI every day — from lease returns in great shape to wrecks fit only for parts or rebuilding. Both remain the largest auction houses in the USA, and bidding is entirely online: you can join in and bid from anywhere on the planet.
The Bidding Procedure at Copart
After registering and paying a 10% deposit on your planned amount, two options open up: leave a pre-bid in advance or join the live auction at the set time. The system shows the current lot price and how actively competitors are bidding.
The Bidding Procedure at IAAI
IAAI follows the same logic: pre-bids, a live auction and a Buy Now option that lets you purchase a lot instantly at a fixed price with no bidding at all. The yard's fee is calculated automatically and appears in the preliminary estimate right away.
What Follows a Successful Bid
The auction issues an invoice, payable within 2–3 business days. A carrier then collects the car: ground delivery to a US port, container loading, the sea leg, customs processing and, finally, handover to the owner. Every step is logged in the dashboard.
The Advantage of Buying Directly
Traditional import brokers tack on $1,000–2,000 above the car's cost and often won't reveal what it actually sold for. Working directly through the platform, you control every dollar you put in:
- the final lot price along with every auction fee is right in front of you
- you set the bidding ceiling — no one else does
- the decision is based on the auction's documents, not the seller's word
- the shipping cost is written into the estimate and won't jump after purchase
