CARS FROM KOREA, DEALER STOCK AND CLOSED AUCTIONS
South Korea offers a wide selection of Korean, European and Japanese vehicles. Through ZenithCars, you can choose from current dealer inventory or cars listed on closed Korean car auctions.
We help you select and verify a specific vehicle, arrange an inspection and coordinate the purchase. Our service also includes secure storage in Korea, export documentation, sea transport, customs clearance and delivery to your requested address in Europe.
AVAILABLE VEHICLES
CARS AVAILABLE IN SOUTH KOREA
Every vehicle is selected and purchased individually according to the client’s requirements, preferred specification and budget.
You can browse current cars offered by Korean dealers directly on our platform and send us a link to a specific vehicle. We can also search for suitable offers and provide access to cars listed on closed Korean car auctions.
The South Korean market includes Hyundai, Kia and Genesis, together with Mercedes Benz, BMW, Audi, Porsche, Volkswagen, Volvo, Lexus and Toyota.
Petrol cars, diesels and hybrids are available in a wide range of equipment versions. We compare the available vehicles and help you select an option suited to your intended use and total budget.
MARKET SELECTION
A WIDE CHOICE OF BRANDS AND SPECIFICATIONS
Cars from Korea include practical family vehicles, executive sedans, large SUVs, performance models, hybrids and supercars.
Depending on current availability, the market offers models such as the Genesis G80 and GV80, Hyundai Palisade, Kia Carnival, Mercedes Benz E Class and GLE, BMW 5 Series, X5 and X7, Audi A6 and Q7, Porsche Cayenne and Panamera, as well as Lexus ES, LS, NX and RX.
We compare the year, mileage, engine, equipment, condition and expected total import cost. This helps the client evaluate the complete purchase rather than only the price displayed in the Korean offer.
VERIFICATION
VEHICLE HISTORY AND INSPECTION IN KOREA
Before recommending a specific vehicle, we review all information available for that car. Depending on the source, this may include the declared mileage, ownership records, reported damage, insurance claims, replaced body panels, equipment, identification numbers and export eligibility.
If the initial verification is satisfactory, we can arrange a physical inspection in South Korea. The inspection may cover:
- Bodywork and paint condition
- Interior and equipment
- Electronic systems and computer diagnostics
- Engine compartment
- Underbody and visible mechanical components
- Wheels, tyres and brakes
The client receives photographs, video materials and an assessment of the vehicle before approving the purchase. If its condition does not correspond with the offer, we recommend selecting another car.
WHY SOUTH KOREA
WHY BUY A CAR FROM KOREA?
South Korea is an interesting alternative to Japan and Dubai. The market offers economical everyday cars, well equipped executive vehicles, large SUVs, hybrids and high performance models.
Most vehicles produced for the Korean market have the steering wheel on the left and lighting designed for right hand traffic. They generally do not require the typical headlight conversion associated with many cars imported from Japan. We still verify the specification and compliance requirements of every selected model.
Another advantage is the availability of digital vehicle information, including mileage, ownership records, reported damage and insurance history for many cars.
This combination makes Korea particularly attractive for clients looking for modern equipment, petrol engines, diesels and hybrid models.
DEALER VEHICLES
CARS FROM KOREAN DEALERS
Our platform provides access to current vehicles offered by dealers throughout South Korea. You can browse the available cars, compare specifications and photographs, and send us a link to a specific vehicle.
We confirm whether the offer is still available, contact the seller and review the information provided for the car. If the vehicle passes the initial verification, we can arrange an inspection and prepare an individual import calculation.
You can select a car directly from our platform or ask us to find offers matching your requirements.
CLOSED AUCTIONS
KOREAN CAR AUCTIONS
We also provide access to closed Korean car auctions intended for professional market participants. These auctions include Korean, European, Japanese and American vehicles across different price ranges.
Before participating, we review the available photographs, condition information, grading, vehicle data and auction documentation. We also agree on the maximum purchase budget with the client before placing an offer.
After a successful purchase, we coordinate payment, collection, transport to our warehouse and preparation of the vehicle for export.
EXPORT FACILITIES
OUR WAREHOUSE AND EXPORT PREPARATION
After purchase, the vehicle is collected from the dealer or auction and transported to our climate controlled warehouse in South Korea. The car remains there while we document its condition and prepare the deregistration and export paperwork.
Once the documents are ready, we book the appropriate sea transport. Depending on the vehicle, destination and available connections, shipping may take place in a container or through Ro Ro transport.
The vehicle is delivered to the port shortly before the planned loading date. This limits unnecessary waiting at the port and gives us greater control over the car between purchase and shipment.
EUROPEAN DELIVERY
SHIPPING AND DELIVERY TO EUROPE
We coordinate sea freight from South Korea and provide the client with information about the shipment and estimated arrival date.
When the vehicle reaches Europe, we can arrange port handling, customs clearance and further transport. Delivery is available to a private address, company, workshop, detailing studio or another location selected by the client.
The client receives the available vehicle and export documents required for customs procedures and further registration in the destination country. The exact taxes, technical requirements and registration process depend on the country where the car will be registered.
For a detailed explanation of purchase, payment, storage, shipping and customs clearance, see our complete Korea car import guide.
