Bulgarian import brokers promise savings of 28% to 40% against local prices and delivery in six to ten weeks. They are probably right about the saving on the right car. Whether it is the right car is a question none of their pages answers.
The head term "коли от Америка" is owned by an exact-match domain broker, and a further eight or so broker sites publish calculators and step-by-step guides. For "проверка на кола от САЩ по ВИН" the results are a regional newspaper explaining Copart lot histories, a German report site, a Russian one and a Bulgarian broker reselling Carfax. There is no Bulgarian-language page that explains what a US title brand is or how to read auction damage codes. That is why this guide exists.
The saving is real on a clean-title fleet or dealer car bought at wholesale. It is also real on a lightly damaged salvage car repaired well. It disappears when the "lightly damaged" car turns out to have flood or airbag deployment codes on an earlier auction record, or when the odometer at US export was higher than the one on the listing in Sofia.
Every guide in this hub ends the same way because every destination shares the same blind spot. Bulgaria's registry, inspection and customs process each verify something real, and none of them reads the American title, the insurer's total-loss declaration or the auction record. Enter the VIN above to see which of those records exist for the car you are looking at. The preview is free; the report is $19.99, once.
Clean, salvage, rebuilt, flood, junk. Issued by a US state, invisible in every European registry.
How it is checkedCopart and IAAI intake photos, damage codes and sale price, from every sale the car went through, not only the current lot.
How it is checkedReadings at US titles, registrations and inspections in date order. A reading below an earlier one is a rollback.
How it is checkedThe US price and auction fees, transport to a US port, ocean freight, then 10% duty on the customs value, 20% VAT on the value plus duty, inspection, registration and plates. Bulgarian broker calculators give current totals.
Carfax is a US title and event history. It is a good record for title brands and odometer readings. It is not the auction intake photo set, which shows the damage before repair. A report that carries both is more useful for a car bought at Copart or IAAI.
The report is in English, but photos, damage codes, dates and odometer readings need little translation. The free preview shows which records exist before you buy anything.
