FAQ

What should I check when buying a used minivan?

Inspect engine condition, service history, mileage, transmission shifts, brakes, air conditioning, sliding door operation, seat mounts and electronics. Check for rust, water damage, and a clean title or accident report.

How do I estimate total ownership costs?

Factor fuel economy, insurance, routine maintenance, tires, expected repairs, and registration. Look up common repair costs for the model and consider depreciation and resale value.

How is a minivan shipped safely to my location?

Use an experienced vehicle carrier—open or enclosed trailers. Confirm insurance, secure tie-downs, battery disconnect rules, and clear pickup/drop-off access. Ask for transit tracking and delivery photos.

Are there special import or cross-border requirements?

Yes. Check customs paperwork, import taxes, emissions and safety compliance, and local registration rules. Obtain the vehicle’s title, bill of sale, and any export certificates before shipping.

What routine maintenance should I plan for a minivan?

Follow the manufacturer schedule: regular oil and filter changes, brake inspections, transmission and coolant checks, tire rotation, and lubrication of sliding door tracks. Replace timing belts/chains and other wear items per service intervals.
