State country and port, steering or registration constraints, charging standard, daily and longest routes, climate, passenger and luggage needs, RWD/AWD preference, condition tolerance, budget boundary and delivery timing. Mark requirements as fixed or flexible.

Ask for a dated continuous walkaround showing the complete car, VIN, production label, odometer, startup screen, charge inlet, keys and obvious defects. Catalogue images can introduce a model but cannot prove control of a vehicle.

Use a shortlist table for identity, version, condition, battery, charging, history, seller, price validity and open questions. A slightly higher-priced car with reproducible records may be safer than a cheap listing assembled from mixed photographs.

Identify the contracting seller, beneficiary, vehicle owner, inspector, logistics provider and destination adviser. Verify changed payment instructions through a previously confirmed route. Do not send card details or unnecessary identity files through an enquiry form.

Agree what is checked before deposit, after reservation, before inland release and before shipment. State what happens if identity, condition or charging differs materially. A form submission is only a request and does not reserve a vehicle.

Put dates on vehicle price, freight, exchange rate and evidence. Recheck the car after long storage, repair or custody changes. A sourcing file should lead to a current candidate decision, not preserve an old advertisement as permanent availability.

Close this specific file by placing destination and use-case brief, dated candidate walkaround and seller and beneficiary verification in one dated candidate record. The reviewer should be able to confirm that no stock claim lacks current evidence and that fixed and flexible needs are separated. Name the person or provider responsible for every unresolved point, add a realistic cost or consequence, and state what evidence will change the decision. If the VIN, version, condition or destination basis changes, reopen this file instead of carrying the previous conclusion into a different purchase.

A useful decision records what is verified, what remains seller-stated and what was not tested. Attach a consequence and owner to each open item. Do not let a broad assurance replace a missing VIN record, charge test, condition image or destination opinion. Acceptance should be explicit: proceed, proceed with a priced condition, obtain more evidence, or reject. A replacement VIN never inherits an earlier acceptance.

Give images, scans, diagnostics and quotations a date, source and vehicle identity. Preserve originals before translation or editing. If custody, software, repair, route or candidate changes, identify which conclusions expire and repeat the affected checks instead of silently carrying them forward. Before inland release, read the same identity, propulsion, value and parties across contract, invoice, inspection and shipping drafts. Registration and customs remain separate destination checks.
