📌 What is a car buyback of a car with foreign registration?

Auto buyout is a service that allows you to quickly sell your car to a professional company without unnecessary worries. If we are talking about cars with foreign registration (so-called "Euro-plates"), the situation is somewhat complicated, because such transport is legally in a “gray zone”.

➡️ Auto purchase of cars with Euro license plates implies that the company:

• Buys a car without Ukrainian registration

• Assesses the technical and legal status

• Independently resolves issues with customs, registration or disposal

• Provides quick settlement with the owner

🔍 What cars can be redeemed?

🟢 The following cars are allowed to be bought back:

• Temporarily imported (no more than 1 year)

• Issued to a foreigner or company

• With Lithuanian, Polish, German, Bulgarian and other registrations

• Without Ukrainian numbers

• In the "on the go" state or after an accident

❌ Not purchased:

• Cars without documents at all

• Cars with open criminal cases

• Transport without proof of ownership

🧾 What documents are needed?

Even if the car is registered abroad, to sell it you must have:

📄 Technical passport (registration certificate)
📄 Passport or ID card of the owner
📄 Customs documents (if the car has already been partially cleared)
📄 Deed of purchase or power of attorney for the right of ownership (if the owner is a foreigner)
📄 License plates (if possible)

⚠️ If any documents are missing, inform the company. There are often ways to resolve the issue.
