FAQ
Who is KingStone Motors?
A Korean vehicle export company. We source premium and luxury vehicles through our dealer network in Korea, purchase them, and export them under our own name to buyers abroad.
Do you own the cars you sell?
Yes. We purchase each vehicle outright from our dealer network before export. You are buying from us, and we are the exporter of record on the shipping documents.Yes. We purchase each vehicle outright from our dealer network before export. You are buying from us, and we are the exporter of record on the shipping documents.
Is delivery included in the price?
No — delivery is quoted separately for each shipment. Freight rates change constantly, so we obtain a current rate from our forwarders for your destination and route. This normally takes one business day.
How long does a price hold?
Seven days on the vehicle. Freight pricing holds only as long as the forwarder confirms it.
Who clears the vehicle at my end?
You do, in your own name — the vehicle is consigned to you, so it registers directly to you with no intermediate owner in the record. You will not do it alone: we introduce you to a customs broker at the destination port who handles the declaration and paperwork with you. His fee is separate from our price.
Who pays import duty and taxes?
You do. Those charges are set by your government and are not part of our price. We confirm the applicable rates for your specific vehicle, engine size and model year before you commit, so the cost at the port is known in advance.
Can you source a specific vehicle?
Yes. Give us the model, model year, maximum mileage and budget. We search the Korean market against your specification and come back with what is available.
What do you check before purchasing?
No liens or seizures. No flood or total-loss history. Accident history limited to minor panel replacement. No former rental, lease or taxi vehicles. Two previous owners at most.
What do I receive before paying?
Full photography, the Korean inspection report, verified accident and ownership history, and a walk-around video of that specific vehicle.
Which markets do you serve?
Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Countries of Central Asia, the Gulf states, and trade buyers in Europe. We do not export to Russia or Belarus, and we do not supply buyers intending onward movement to those markets.
Can a company import through you?
Yes, and the rules differ from private import in most of our markets — vehicle age limits in particular. Tell us whether you are buying personally or through a company at the outset, as it affects which vehicles are eligible.
What deposit do you take?
Either 20% of the vehicle price to secure the car, or full payment. The deposit is applied to your order and reserves the vehicle against our purchase in Korea.
What if the vehicle fails inspection?
We do not proceed with it. Your deposit stays in place and we source a replacement matching your specification, at no additional cost, until we find the right car. You approve every candidate before we buy.
What if the car is sold to someone else?
Once a deposit is placed the vehicle is held and taken off the market, so this should not occur. In the rare case it does, the outcome is the same — we source a replacement to your specification and your deposit carries across.
