A model year alone does not establish U.S. import eligibility. Follow the import planning guide and check the actual manufacture date.
What condition problems should you look for?
These are inspection priorities for an older vehicle, not a claim that every Every has these defects. Use an independent inspection to assess the vehicle being sold.
- Inspect the sliding doors, rear hatch, cargo floor and lower body seams for wear, corrosion or repairs.
- Check cooling operation through a full warm-up and document the engine identifier before ordering parts.
- Verify the seating and cargo configuration shown in the listing against the actual vehicle.
What should you check before an auction bid?
- Match the chassis code and grade to the registration/export paperwork and correct model-year manual.
- Request clear photos of the chassis plate, cargo floor, sliding-door tracks and underside; check for rust and repairs.
- Verify engine type, transmission, drivetrain, seating and safety equipment on the actual vehicle; do not infer them from the family name.
Use the auction sheet decoder as a reference, then ask the exporter to translate the full sheet and clarify the auction house's grading rules.
How should you plan maintenance and ownership?
Get the service manual that matches the chassis, engine and transmission. Have a mechanic establish a baseline for brakes, tires, belts, hoses, leaks and fluid condition. Oil grades, capacities, timing-drive parts and service intervals should come from that manual.
Before buying, review your state's registration and road-use rules, request an insurance quote for the actual vehicle, and put written transport and broker quotes into the import cost calculator.
