14 Jul, import an RV? My experience that can help you

My experience for shopping and buying a mobile home from the United States.

My search began with a Google search "for sale class A motor home."
I discovered quickly were the best prices in the United States and the vehicles that I was interested in were coming up on E-Bay.
$50,000 and $60,000 of coaches were ausgehend.Wow $10,000 and $ 15,000, what a deal!


I quickly came to my senses and spent a few days will just people, the commandments and what landed coach for.
I did some research on E Bay scams and fraud.


Here is what's really going on.
Almost all of the class A motor homes that I saw were owned distributors.She post a Coache for sale with a hidden reserve.
The hidden reserve is of course the selling price is for the coach to wollen.Es only a business function will make a further marketing tool for Sie.Sie sometimes with a Curber to sell it for you. The Curber then will post as if it is his.
I would a coach will see over a period of 5 days to bid and finally see it for sale at the last minute with a bid of someone that jumped in the final seconds.As much as it against E-Bay rules I'm sure me the seller in many cases are on your own trainers offer is.E Bay have no way this police work and leave to try on complaints, an inexperienced bidders have to kontrollieren.Als no way to tell if they encourage most sellers bieten.Die against the seller phone you and make an offer. This is again against E-Bay rules (no Commission for E-Bay), but you have no way police work.


Here is something I, always still trying'm figuring.
The bid starts low on a coach and I see it slowly over a period of five days. Many bids in the last minute.
If you are for a coach interested in bid to keep why it in 5 days up.All you do is increasing the price be numbers, for it.The best strategy is to get a low bid early and then wait until last minute of bid and bid make.This is again against E-Bay rules, but everyone is doing it and E-Bay are unable to control it.


The scam artists:
In my search I found a coach, which was exactly what I would be suchte.Es a bargain at $50,000, but the seller said in his ad that he needs only $25,000 for it.This was my first red flag. I called the number (a Texas point) and got an answering machine with an Eastern European accent. This was my second red Fahne.Dann in my search for that same make and model was I one on E-Bay, but only from a reseller in an Eastern Zustand.Das problem here exactly the same as the coach who sold out of Texas was the photos of the coach.I'm sure if I called the Texas number, that it was answered by a computer in Estonia.


Here's the Betrug.Ich ran into a few years ago with my first experience on E-Bay in search of a computer.support bad guy gets a Skype phone number (you can have with each number you want what you want whatever prefix).A Texas area code took the RV cheats.Then it searches the Web for something that has the photos he he tell all you display need. If the winning bidder you want to hear and then questions for a small deposit of one or two thousand Dollar.Sie want Union be paid almost always by Western.(Not transparent)


The dealer I bought from, one told me about someone on foot in your Office who want to pick up the trailer described hatte.Er online bought the dealer a few weeks ago sold hatte.Der customer someone had a deposit of $2000.00 via Western Union was bezahlt.Er from $2000.00.


This is still a good way to find what you are looking for.
At the end it worked for me.I ended up with a very nice coach I could easily sell for a good profit in Canada.
You can be sure that many campers Canada you find are sold by Curbers, that have brought us from the.
This is not necessarily a bad thing, as the last two campers I in Canada bought you brought from the USA came from Curbers Sellingg units.
Both units, which I money on made.


Not fully commit until you can check the coach.Check never as good as you do in the photos.Photos do not pick up the detail, the showroom condition coach of lived in mobile home with rock chips loaded and worn Interior stained separates.


I was lucky.
Bought the coach I turned out as well, as the photos it showed.
However, there were a few surprises.
Test told me the shop account and fully maintained coach würde.Sie would also everything and anything that doesn't work, was replaced.
All ready to go when I arrived.
This brings me back to the cold war phrase, "Trust but verify"


It turned out nothing had tested was and there is much you needed to repair before I could go back to Canada.
Make your loan apologized for the problems and offered, while for the fixes saw to pay for a rental car for me.


Then it came to pay you then pay to pay as you told me that I needed the company who wore the debt and then arrange to me the title to bekommen.Nicht!
I told them I didn't that a vehicle to pay for you, that you reluctantly agreed and produced for a few hours indicates a clear title not title to halten.Sie rejects any sich.Sie looked after all the paper work that I would need to get it across the border.
The required fax sent and arranged for a permit for me to go home.


It was a three-day trip for me to get to the border, and I was concerned about getting across the border as I had never done.
"The United States Customs wanted to the original title (not a photocopy) that disappeared original Bill of sale and my Paß.Sie called me to the meter shall provide with you for about 20 minutes then and said you are free to gehen.Dann Canadian Zoll.Sie wanted what I gave US Customs plus the recall clearance of manufacture had geliefert.Ich fill out a short form and pay the GST.Sie were fine with the EC Karte.Sie wanted my email and told me to cope me RIV in a few days, the other be contacted would.""Wow, that was much easier then I thought it would be!"


I now have home and I am very happy with it.
I have 4 other class A motorhomes years owned and this is my fifth.
My last one was a diesel pusher and the new is a gas appliance.
You should look for a diesel pusher or a gas appliance?
That's a different story.
