W8 Shipping Bulgaria’s priority is to deliver outstanding results for the importer and its customers. We ensure the timely delivery of the vehicle in perfect condition from the auction to its final destination, all within the agreed-upon price.
Why is importing cars from the USA profitable?
In Bulgaria, demand for American cars is growing as fast as a Bugatti Chiron accelerates. Over 3,000 American cars are imported here every month. Now is the perfect time to join the ranks of successful importers.
Today, thousands of Bulgarians are ready to pay for attractive, high-quality cars that are abundant in the U.S. and hard to resist.
There’s nothing complicated about this business: you earn, buy, receive, repair, and sell cars. That’s the “money makes money” approach. Of course, you can’t do it without a reliable partner. When you have a team that thoroughly understands auctions, shipping, customs procedures, and knows how to safely transport a car across the ocean—when everything is carefully planned and agreed upon—profit comes in an instant.
Strive for the best—achieve more. Every day should start with this sentence. As Henry Ford, the man who knew exactly what a successful business is, once said: “The best job in the world is a well-paid hobby.”
So if the smell of gasoline is like a breath of fresh air to you, and the sound of the engine is like a heartbeat, then selling cars from the U.S. is exactly for you. Turn your passion for “iron horses” into a profitable business.

W8 Shipping USA works with American auctions
ADESA is an online auction for used cars. It operates 56 sales locations in the United States and 15 in Canada. Leasing companies, car fleets, rental car companies, and manufacturers themselves offer up to 3,000 vehicles for sale each day. As a result, over 1,000,000 passenger cars, trucks, vans, and damaged vehicles are offered at the auctions annually. A unique feature of the ADESA car auction is the absence of upfront fees. Bids are submitted free of charge, so payment for the vehicle is made only after the selected vehicle is purchased. Every vehicle is inspected by qualified inspectors. In addition to affordable prices, the ADESA trading platform also offers the lowest trading fees in the United States.
AuctionTime is the market leader in auctions for specialized machinery. The catalog features machinery for transportation, construction, and agricultural applications. All types of specialized equipment undergo a multi-stage inspection process. Each vehicle comes with a detailed description accompanied by a comprehensive photo gallery. Unlike many other auctions, AuctionTime participants can discuss any questions they may have regarding the inspection of heavy machinery directly with the seller.
NPA (National Powersport Auctions) is a closed-door American auction for motorcycles from well-known global manufacturers. At the auction venues (in four cities across the U.S.), you can find both used and new motorcycles, as well as other vehicles such as snowmobiles, ATVs, and personal watercraft. The main participants in NPA are insurance or leasing companies, dealers, financial institutions, and other legal entities. Motorcycles are sold at auction following an incident covered by insurance. Since repairing the motorcycle is not cost-effective, it is sold at a 50–70% discount. Each vehicle is inspected at 35 checkpoints. The NPA catalog includes over 30,000 vehicles, and every week the selection is expanded with hundreds of new models. Approximately 75,000 transactions are conducted at the auction annually.
Manheim is a closed-door auction and one of the leading U.S. automotive auctions. It ranks among the top trading platforms. It simultaneously serves 33 sales lines, allowing up to 50 cars to be sold every minute. In this way, tens of thousands of used cars find new owners every day, and over 5 million cars are sold annually. Only dealers (legal entities) with a special license participate in the auction. Our company, W8 Shipping, has access to all lots and auction features, which allows us to obtain complete and accurate information about each lot. At the Manheim auction, you can purchase undamaged, i.e., intact used cars without serious damage. Typically, the Manheim auction offers cars with expired warranties, cars from insurance or leasing companies, as well as cars repossessed by banks (which may have minimal mileage). There are cars with minor defects that are not intended for sale through dealers or for rental. As a result, you won’t have to pay for repairs. Savings on the purchase range from 15–25%.
Copart is the largest open online marketplace for used and salvage vehicles. It is open to everyone, but it does have its limitations. There are over 3,000,000 vehicles on the trading platform. Every day, over 175,000 listings are posted on the platform. W8 Shipping is an official representative of Copart. We have access to closed auctions, as well as the ability to conduct a more thorough inspection of each vehicle. The Copart platform offers vehicles that have been in accidents, stolen, vandalized, as well as flooded vehicles and vehicles with factory defects. These are typically offered for sale by insurance or leasing companies after the owner’s insurance claim has been settled. You can save up to 50% on such damaged vehicles. In addition to cars, you can find boats, yachts, motorcycles, ATVs, trailers, specialized equipment, trucks, and other vehicles.
IAAI (Insurance Auto Auction) is the largest insurance auction, where both damaged and repaired vehicles are sold. The extent of damage to the vehicles varies, so auction staff carefully inspect each vehicle. The sellers are most often insurance companies, banks, and certified dealers. Private individuals also participate in the auction. Every day, over 80,000 vehicles are offered for sale. Annually, our company completes thousands of successful transactions on the IAAI platform. The IAAI auctions mainly feature vehicles written off by a bank or insurance company. There is also a large proportion of vehicles damaged in traffic accidents or by vandalism, as well as flood-damaged vehicles and those with factory defects. The affordable prices on IAAI allow for savings of up to 25–35%.
