How We Work: Exclusive Import of Luxury Cars from Germany
A highly personalized service for clients who seek more than just a vehicle: access, expertise, control, and a flawless operation from start to finish. We work with high-end, luxury, ultra-luxury, sports and super sports vehicles.
We rigorously select both the units and the suppliers, as well as the channels and each individual operation.
Real exclusivity, rigorous methodology, and full commitment in every operation
We do not work with just any vehicle, any supplier, or any purchasing approach.
Our service is aimed at clients who value excellence in service, precision in the process, and access to truly differentiated opportunities.
Exclusive and personalized service
Rigorous selection of suppliers and vehicles
End-to-end operation
Full budget with exact cost breakdown
Final delivery in impeccable condition
Specialized channels for high-end vehicles and exclusive operations
Import Germany Channel
The Import Germany channel represents the core of the way we work and one of the pillars of Luis Carratalá’s professional career since 2007.
Over the years, Luis has developed an in-depth understanding of the German market for high-end, luxury, super-luxury, sports and supercars. A market with outstanding opportunities, but also one that demands a high level of expertise: it is not enough to simply locate vehicles listed on European platforms; you need to know how to interpret each vehicle, each seller, each history and each operation.
Our experience allows us to analyse the market with real criteria, identify solid opportunities and rule out those operations which, although they may appear attractive at first glance, do not meet the required standards in terms of condition, provenance, specification, documentation, price or import feasibility.
This channel was not born from a trend or a quick commercial promise. It is the result of years of work, professional relationships, completed operations and accumulated knowledge. A way of operating far removed from improvised models, based on rigorous selection, transparency and control throughout the process.
Each vehicle is assessed according to the client’s profile and the real conditions of the market. From the initial search to final delivery, the goal is to provide security, judgement and flawless management in operations where every detail matters.
Importing from Germany may seem like something anyone can do. Doing it properly, with experience, method and responsibility, is something else entirely.
EXCLUSIVE OFF-LINE & OFF-MARKET HYPERCAR CHANNEL
We provide access to a highly confidential search and sourcing channel for hypercars and classic cars that, in many cases, are never listed on open market platforms.
These are particularly discreet, personalized, and selective transactions, tailored to clients seeking very specific vehicles that are scarce or difficult to find through conventional channels. At this level, the value lies not only in locating the vehicle, but also in accessing the right network, validating the opportunity, and managing every phase of the transaction with the utmost confidentiality, precision, and discernment.
The vehicle import process
Each operation is handled individually, but always under a clear methodology.
The goal is to provide security, control and transparency from the very first conversation through to final delivery.
What we select and what we verify before closing an operation
At this level, finding an attractive unit is not enough.
Its origin, context, documentation and the solidity of the entire operation must be validated. Selection is carried out under very strict criteria to maintain our service and product standards.
Vehicle origin
Maintenance history
Documented mileage
Overall condition
Actual equipment
Technical and legal feasibility
Terms of Service and Delivery
We guarantee clear terms and transparent operations to ensure complete peace of mind with every transaction
Clear conditions and transparent operations
Our working model is designed to provide security, commitment and clarity from the outset.
Each operation is structured with defined conditions, no ambiguity, and full visibility for the client.
No stock or showroom vehicles By request only Up to €200,000: 50% upfront, remainder upon delivery We advance 50% of the total investment under agreed terms Billing regime: 21% VAT deductible or margin scheme (REBU), depending on origin No financing; clients must arrange financing through their own bank 
Documentation and Warranty
A transaction of this magnitude requires orderly documentation, legal certainty, and technical oversight. That is why we review the available original documentation, the necessary paperwork for registration in Spain, and the applicable warranty terms based on the vehicle and its origin.
- Original vehicle documentation
- Invoice or sales contract
- European Certificate of Conformity or equivalent documentation where applicable
- MOT, registration, and final delivery
- Official manufacturer’s warranty, where applicable.
Plazos de entrega
Trabajamos con una operativa orientada a la eficiencia sin renunciar al control. El plazo habitual para la entrega del vehículo es de 25 días en Península y 30 días para Islas Baleares y Canarias, salvo particularidades concretas de la operación.

International operations and export to third countries

FAQs
Do you have any questions? Here we answer the most common questions about the import process for our luxury vehicles.
Do you only work on a made-to-order basis?
Yes. Our model is entirely based on working on demand.
We do not operate as a traditional dealership with large stock. Every vehicle we handle responds to a specific request, with criteria defined by the client and an active search across the European market, mainly in Germany.
This allows us to focus on what really matters: selecting exceptional units, verifying their actual condition and ensuring that each operation meets very high standards.
What type of vehicles do you handle?
We work exclusively with high-end, luxury and super luxury vehicles.
This includes everything from premium sedans and high-spec SUVs to sports cars, collector vehicles and restricted-access units (off-market), which are difficult to find through open channels.
We do not handle general-market vehicles. Our focus is on operations where expertise, criteria and access make the difference.
How is the exact cost of the process defined?
The cost is defined individually for each operation.
It mainly depends on the type of vehicle, its location, the level of service required —transport, inspection, documentation handling, etc.— and the specific conditions of the purchase.
Before starting any process, the client receives a detailed quote with the total cost of the operation. No vague estimates and no unexpected deviations.
What does delivery include?
Delivery is the final step of a comprehensive process.
It includes the purchase of the vehicle, technical and documentation verification, transport to destination, registration management in Spain and final preparation for handover.
The goal is simple: the client receives the vehicle ready to drive, without having to intervene at any stage of the process.
Is financing available?
No. Financing, if required, is arranged directly by the client with their trusted financial institution.
Do you export outside Spain?
Yes. We manage export operations to different countries.
We take care of all international logistics, including documentation, transport and adaptation to the requirements of the destination country.
We have worked with clients across Europe, America and other international markets, adapting each operation to the corresponding local regulations.

Discussion pas limpide, on ne visionne aucun document du véhicule , les photos ou vidéos ne sont pas clair et difficile à avoir . À priori dans cette société cela fonctionne à la confiance . Difficile voir impossible d’avoir confiance dans ces conditions pour un véhicule à 230k€ à acheter en aveugle . Je déconseille pour moi c’est pas professionnel !
