Carvago is the closest thing on this list to an import service. Instead of connecting you with a foreign seller, it sells you the car itself: the contract is always with Carvago, the warranty comes from Carvago, and the Polish site says you settle in zloty no matter which country the car comes from. Its search showed about 1.09 million cars when we checked. Before purchase, a CarAudit mechanic runs a 270-point inspection and checks European registers for accident history, mileage tampering, theft and unpaid leasing, and Carvago says 24% of inspected cars end up not recommended. After pickup you get 14 days to return the car and a 12-month extended warranty on the engine, gearbox and differential. The audit is not free, 499 zł at the promotional price we saw against 899 zł normally, and delivery is booked as a separate service. We saw Polish pages from our location, so other country sites may show different prices. We compared documented features and published fees only.
