Buying a KIA import car in Italy is not as easy as it sounds. There are a number of well-known websites which, unfortunately, don't always keep their adverts up to date. Once a vehicle has been spotted, a number of checks and adKIAstrative steps need to be taken.

This saves you the hassle of finding an insurance company willing to accept the vehicle with foreign number plates. A car imported into France must not be pledged, and must be issued with a provisional registration, which certifies the validity of the sale. Many cars in Italy are bought on a "leasing" basis, a kind of hire with an option to buy. Once the agreement has been reached in Italy, you can block the vehicle by paying a deposit, and give yourself a cooling-off period. Using an agency saves you time in organising your journey and repatriating the vehicle. It will also represent you in the event of a dispute with the seller and handle any negotiations for KIA car import in Italy.

New vehicles are cheaper in Italy, and Italians don't hesitate to buy on a leasing basis (rental contract with purchase option). This gives them easier access to vehicles that match their requirements and their portfolios, since leasing is also a type of credit offered by your KIA car dealer in Italy.
