Importing right-hand drive (RHD) vehicles into Korea is nearly impossible. This is because over 99% of vehicles in Korea are left-hand drive (LHD), reflecting the country’s road traffic regulations and infrastructure designed exclusively for LHD vehicles.
If you are specifically looking for RHD vehicles, it is far more practical to consider countries like Japan, where right-hand drive cars are the standard. Japan offers a wide variety of RHD vehicles that are suitable for export to markets requiring right-hand drive.
For buyers interested in RHD vehicles, visiting or sourcing directly from Japan or similar countries is the smartest choice.
Buying used cars and specially auto parts from Korea on a container basis involves visiting multiple salvage yards across the country to source the desired parts. This process can be very challenging and nearly impossible for buyers to handle directly, especially from overseas.
Therefore, the most practical and reliable way is to find a trusted used auto parts export specialist company. These experts have established relationships with salvage yards nationwide and can efficiently collect, inspect, and package quality parts for export. Partnering with such a company ensures you receive verified parts without the hassle of personally sourcing them, saving time and reducing risk.
Damaged vehicles, including submerged or flood-affected cars, are typically available through specialized auto auctions, salvage yards, and insurance company auctions in Korea. These vehicles are sold “as-is” and usually at significantly lower prices compared to regular used cars.
For international buyers, it is best to work with a trusted Korean exporter or auto auction agent who has experience handling such vehicles. They can help source, inspect, and export damaged or submerged cars safely and legally, ensuring compliance with export regulations.
Keep in mind that buying submerged vehicles involves risks such as hidden damages and may require careful inspection and repairs after purchase.
