Two files, and the finding that changed the decision.
We are paid by our clients only. No dealership referral fees. Each note below ends with the one detail that moved the number.
2022 Porsche 911 Carrera · Kyiv · evaluation and negotiation
The listing promised a single-owner car with a complete service history. Our condition report logged a repainted rear quarter panel, a gap in the service book between 14,000 and 31,000 km, and two earlier export registrations. We sent the seller a discrepancy note with the photographic evidence attached. The asking price came down 12%.
“The panel was the small part. The missing service years are why we walked in with a number.”
2021 Mercedes-Benz GLE 400d · Odesa · purchase planning and handover
A client relocating to Kyiv needed the car sourced, inspected, and registered before a fixed move date. We built a six-week purchase plan, coordinated three dealership appointments across two cities, and compared two similarly equipped cars on total first-year cost. The client took the quieter specification and kept roughly EUR 4,800 in the budget.
“Same car on paper. The purchase plan showed what the second one actually cost to own.”
