Sorry for my English but it’s not my native language.
Importing whole cars “for parts” is also risky, as local authorities may consider it importing waste. The fine can be up to $ 100,000. There is no such risk when importing car parts.
We have a lot of parts for European cars and they are cheap because they are produced and tested here. The problem is with parts for American cars (for example Ford, Chevrolet), because we have practically no parts. I know this because I used to sell parts for a Ford Mustang and there was so much interest that I sold everything.
You can buy parts at one of the popular auction sites in my country. For example:
Hood for new Audi A5 - about 300$, 250 items
Hood for new Ford Mustang - about 1200$, 10 items.
Customers are looking for auto parts for american cars so i am sure it is good business
