I buy and land cars — China, Korea, the Gulf, the US, the EU — into the Balkans.
17 years in this business. Mechanic by trade. Track and rally licences. I don’t review cars from a press seat. I move them.
Right now I can help with:
• stock in Horgoš / Serbia
• factory orders (ZEEKR, Leapmotor and others)
• EU COC vs parallel import
• registration routes when they actually make sense
• kits and options arriving with the car
Tell me the model and where you want to register it. I’ll tell you the real landed cost — or tell you not to buy.
Stock, order, or a second opinion — DM.

This is genuinely an incredible achievement! 1,231+ km in Dubai’s extreme heat, fully loaded, without refueling or recharging. Impressive! 🔥
Anyone in Europe interested in driving an XPENG GX? 😏
🇧🇬🇨🇿🇩🇿🇩🇪🇵🇱 We can arrange imports and registration in several markets.
And here’s the fun part: it might even cost less than a G9! 😂🚗
BIG RANGE ALERT: 1231+ KM ✨
The XPENG GX completes Dubai to Salalah.
No Refuel. No Recharge. Fully loaded in 45°C heat.
Backed by the Kunpeng Range Extender: 420kW fast charging, 3.6kWh/L efficiency.
Beat range anxiety, even in the desert.

I don’t really like expressing political opinions, because everyone sees the world from a different perspective. I’m not particularly interested in what other people have experienced or done, either.
But here on X, where Elon Musk has broken down language barriers, this Brazilian election has shown me very clearly just how different American and Chinese voices can be.
A few people have messaged me recently, curious about the car import/export business I actually run. 😂
So I thought I’d share a little about what I do!
I’ve spent over a decade sourcing cars worldwide, with businesses in China, Hong Kong, Dubai and Serbia.
And yes, I have actual cars here in Europe! 🚗
And here’s the funny part: over 90% of the cars I’ve sold were actually sold with the help of my business partners! 😂🤝
You don’t need to own a dealership to work with us.
Maybe you know potential buyers, run a small car business or simply have good local connections.
We can work with wholesale dealer prices or agreed commissions on successful deals.
Different partners, different arrangements! 🤝
If a car is already in Europe, you’re welcome to inspect it yourself and arrange collection or delivery.
If it’s still in China, we can organize international shipping, including rail freight.
On suitable routes, transit can be as quick as around 20 days. This is what I do every day! 😂🚗
Of course, not every Chinese car comes with a European COC.
For models like the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra, I’ll explain which countries may allow registration, what the procedures are and how much they might cost.
And if a car can’t realistically be registered somewhere, I’ll tell you that too. 😁
Take the brand-new Leapmotor C10 REEV as an example.
Our dealer price is around €25,000 FOB. European-spec, with COC documentation.
For dealers in Serbia, our tax-paid settlement price is under €30,000.
What you sell it for, and how much you earn, is entirely up to you! 😂
For example, right now we have Leapmotor C10, Dongfeng BOX and Xiaomi SU7 Ultra in Serbia, plus a Zeekr 9X and a Stelato S9 in Dubai.
These are actual vehicles, not just pictures from suppliers. 😂
If you’re curious, feel free to ask me for our inventory list and dealer prices!
Li Auto just livestreamed an extensive teardown of its new i6. 🔧🇨🇳
If a carmaker takes its brand-new car apart LIVE for everyone to see, would that make you more confident in its build quality? 🤔
The i6 recently made its European debut at the Paris Motor Show, with plans to enter Europe in 2027.
And just two days before the updated i6 launches in China, Li Auto did something I genuinely appreciate.
They didn’t just remove a few interior panels to show off the screens. They opened up the body structure, chassis, suspension, seats, sound insulation and materials, even inviting existing owners to watch.
There are still plenty of people, not just Europeans but Chinese people too, who instinctively associate Chinese cars with cheap materials, poor build quality and interiors that start rattling after two years.
But imagine a manufacturer saying:
“Don’t just listen to what we say. Let’s take the car apart and show you what’s actually inside!”
I’ve always believed that a car is a product of science, engineering and industrial manufacturing.
It’s not a matter of faith.
You don’t judge build quality through stereotypes or guesswork. You examine the materials, assembly, manufacturing processes, component strength and the engineering decisions behind them.
Of course, a livestreamed teardown can’t prove long-term reliability. That takes years of real-world use.
But showing what’s underneath the bodywork and answering questions in public? I think that deserves credit.
You don’t have to love Li Auto. You don’t even have to like Chinese cars.
But shouldn’t we encourage manufacturers to be this open about how their cars are built? ❤️
The video I’m sharing is just a short clip. If you’re interested, I really recommend watching the full livestream replay.
I’d love to know what you think. Would this kind of transparency increase your confidence in a carmaker? 😁🚗

As someone who worked at Mercedes-Benz for four and a half years, I honestly love seeing more and more cars using safety features like this! ❤️😂
Back in 2013, Mercedes introduced the W222, the 10th generation of the S-Class in its broader historical lineage.
Its slogan in China was: “The inventor of the automobile reinvents the automobile.”
And man, what a car that was!
The gorgeous ambient lighting, two massive 12.3-inch screens, advanced headlights… That thing genuinely felt like it came from the future!
But one of my favorite parts was the safety technology.
Mercedes had already introduced flashing brake lights under emergency braking years earlier. And with PRE-SAFE PLUS on the W222, the car could even detect another vehicle approaching too fast from behind and rapidly flash its rear warning lights to alert the driver.
In 2013! Can you imagine? 😂
Now, more than a decade later, I’m seeing similar ideas in Teslas, XPengs and all kinds of other cars. And people are still surprised when they discover these features!
That genuinely makes me happy.
I have a real soft spot for Mercedes. I spent four and a half years of my life working there, and I still have enormous respect for what the brand has contributed to automotive safety.
I really hope Mercedes finds its way back to greatness. A few difficult years of sales shouldn’t erase everything this company has achieved. ❤️⭐
Robotaxi is now turning its hazard lights on for harsh braking. Another incredible safety touch @TeslaSI
🚨 A BMW i5 for €32,670. A BMW X1 for €21,730. A BMW X3 for €35,330.
Brand-new cars. Taxes and registration included.
And yes, we’re talking about CHINA! 🇨🇳😂
Today I saw a European automotive outlet arguing that BYD could dominate Europe by offering a decent SUV for under €30,000.
Maybe they’re right. Maybe not.
But what really caught my attention was the comment section.
Once again: “Chinese subsidies!” “Unfair competition!” “These cheap cars need restrictions!”
Here’s something many Europeans still don’t seem to realize:
Even European luxury brands are selling family cars at astonishingly low prices in China.
Look at these BMW dealer offers:
🇩🇪 BMW i5 eDrive35L
Original list price: €58,650
Drive-away price: €32,670
44% BELOW LIST PRICE!
🇩🇪 BMW X1
List price: €34,400
Drive-away price: €21,730
37% BELOW LIST PRICE!
🇩🇪 BMW X3
List price: €53,320
Drive-away price: €35,330
34% BELOW LIST PRICE!
All prices include taxes and registration.
And remember, these are BMWs, not budget Chinese EVs.
So here’s my question:
If even BMW has to sell cars at these prices to compete in China, why do so many people still think subsidies explain everything?
Subsidies can influence a market. Of course they can.
But they don’t explain away the extraordinary competitive pressure facing every automaker in China.
This isn’t just about cheap Chinese cars.
It’s about what happens when an entire car market becomes brutally competitive. 🚗🔥
And don’t think these prices have nothing to do with Europe! 😂
If you’re in Albania, Czechia, Bulgaria, Germany or several other countries, we can actually arrange to bring these cars over!
Even after shipping, import duties and taxes, I believe they could still be very competitively priced in many markets.
And remember, we’re only talking about brand-new cars here. The used-car market in China offers even more opportunities to find incredible deals! 🚗🇨🇳🇪🇺
Once a pro-EU government takes power, Serbia’s entry policies for Russian and Chinese citizens will very likely be brought in line with those of the EU.
That’s bad news for our friends who are planning to move to Serbia.
But for those of us already living here, Schengen membership might not be far away! 😂🇷🇸🇪🇺
🎉🎉 Serbia celebrates Vučić's defeat all night — now he's warning the country about sanctions against Russia
After 14 years of Aleksandar Vučić's political dominance, his bloc has lost the snap parliamentary elections. The opposition Student List, which emerged from mass anti-government protests, has claimed victory.
According to preliminary figures from Ipsos and CeSID, the students secured around 53% of the vote, while Vučić's coalition received approximately 39%.
The former president acknowledged defeat. He estimated that the winners could secure 135–140 seats in Serbia's 250-member parliament.
But he couldn't resist issuing a warning about Russia. Vučić claimed the new government could impose sanctions on Moscow as early as March or April.
Meanwhile, Belgrade and other Serbian cities celebrated the student movement's victory throughout the night, with car horns, singing, and crowds cheering in the streets.
Final election results are still pending.
🚨 THREE VOLVOS. ALL MORE THAN 50% OFF THEIR OFFICIAL LIST PRICES.
And no, this isn’t a Black Friday sale.
Welcome to China’s BRUTAL car market. 🇨🇳😂
I spoke with several automotive industry professionals from different countries today, and I realized something:
Many people still have absolutely no idea just how fierce competition in China has become.
They talk about Porsche losing sales, or BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi struggling in China.
But honestly?
If you think the German luxury brands have it bad, wait until you see what’s happening to the second-tier luxury brands!
Let’s take Volvo as an example. 🇸🇪
These are actual dealer offers I’m seeing in China, including taxes and registration:
🚗 Volvo XC40
Official list price: €38,240
Actual drive-away price: €18,266
52.2% OFF!
White exterior, green interior. Don’t believe me? I’ll tell you the city tomorrow, and I can point you straight to the car!
🚗 Volvo S60
Official list price: €45,300
Actual drive-away price: €19,733
56.4% OFF!
🚙 Volvo XC60
Official list price: €52,920
Actual drive-away price: €24,133
54.4% OFF!
Read those numbers again.
We’re not talking about some unknown startup desperately trying to sell its first cars.
We’re talking about VOLVO.
Three established luxury models, all being offered at more than HALF OFF their official list prices!
And you thought Porsche was having a tough time in China? 😂
Now tell me: is that brutal enough for you?
And please, don’t tell me this is all because of Chinese government subsidies too.
This is what happens when competition becomes absolutely ruthless.
Welcome to the Chinese automotive market. 🚗🔥
🚨 Xiaomi SU7 Ultra — probably the lowest price you’ll find in Europe!
A buyer backed out, so we’re letting this one go at a seriously discounted price.
🇪🇺 Available in Europe NOW
💰 FOB deal — cheaper than buying one in China!
⚡ No waiting, no production delays.
We also shot some fresh content with this beauty. More photos and videos coming soon! 📸🔥
Interested? DM me! 🤝
Just over 500 followers, and I’ve been running this account for less than a month. Hahaha! 😂
Already written tens of thousands of words, and I’ve just finished my 10th long-form article!
And finally, a little viral moment in my own field! This Porsche post is already at 88K views, and I think hitting 100K is just a matter of time! 🎉
What makes me even happier is that quite a few automotive journalists, industry professionals, and people in the car business have started following me.
Thank you all so much for the support! ❤️
As a Chinese automotive professional living in Europe, I’ll keep sharing my experiences, observations, and hopefully some slightly different perspectives on cars and the industry.
Discussions, different opinions, and business collaborations are always welcome!
After all, I don’t just write about cars. I actually bring cars from China to Europe, and from Europe to markets around the world! 😂🚗🌍
And now, after another late night of writing, I’m finally going to bed.
Good night, everyone! 🌙❤️
I think Porsche understands the situation better than almost anyone.
They’ve already proved their engineering capabilities with the Taycan, one of the finest driver’s EVs ever built. Yes, reliability has been an issue, but anyone who genuinely appreciates driving should recognize what an outstanding piece of engineering it is.
The problem is that driving excellence alone no longer guarantees a premium price.
Look at Xiaomi aggressively chasing lap records. Look at Zeekr and Lotus, backed by Geely’s enormous resources, delivering tremendous performance, sophisticated chassis and impressive driving dynamics at much lower prices, often with equipment that Porsche would charge a fortune for.
Porsche has realized that competing on electric performance alone is no longer enough to justify its traditional premiums.
And the massive discounts on the electric Macan in China demonstrate another uncomfortable reality: even the Porsche badge isn’t enough to command unlimited premiums in the mainstream luxury market anymore.
So what’s the smartest move?
Go back to what makes Porsche truly special.
Build extraordinary mechanical machines for people who value them enough to pay extraordinary prices.
Break even the traditional limitations of the rear-engine, rear-wheel-drive 911 philosophy if that’s what it takes to create something exceptional.
Selling extremely expensive mechanical toys to the world’s wealthiest enthusiasts is certainly not easy. But I believe it’s one of the most promising paths Porsche can take.
And importantly, Porsche isn’t abandoning electric cars. It can continue improving products like the electric Cayenne, refining its EV technology and fighting to remain competitive in the broader passenger-car market.
That’s not refusing to accept the future. That’s understanding where your competitive advantages still have value.
If you can’t see the logic behind this strategy, I think you’re missing both the automotive and the business perspective.
I really should write a proper long-form piece about this when I have some free time. 😂

Porsche steckt in der Krise und präsentiert ausgerechnet einen neuen Verbrenner als Hoffnungsträger. Das ist ungefähr so, als würde man bei steigender Fieberkurve die Heizung aufdrehen. Wer glaubt, dass man mit immer neuen Benzinern die Zukunft gewinnt, hat den Strukturwandel nicht verstanden. Die Konkurrenz schläft nicht. Und die Märkte haben wenig Geduld mit Nostalgie. #Porsche
I said earlier that I really should write a proper article about this…
I honestly didn’t expect so many people to see my post and support my perspective. Thank you all so much! ❤️
Well, after staying up late working on it, I finally finished it! 😂
If you enjoy my automotive analysis, feel free to give me a follow! 🚗🫡

Porsche sales are falling. Even the electric Macan is struggling in China.
But the 911? Up 12%.
What if Porsche’s answer isn’t cheaper cars, but MUCH more expensive ones? 😂
Here’s why I think the new Mission S could be a very clever business move. 👇
