HOW OCG WORKS

Trust is the product.

The Canada service is built around showing the buyer what OCG checked, what the evidence says, what remains uncertain and where the money goes. No fake testimonials. No invented case studies. No “never sold in Canada” claim without an evidence state.

OCG INSPECTION STANDARD

What happens before we say buy.

01

Identity & documentation

VIN/chassis identity, manufacture date, ownership chain, seller identity, service records and documents needed for export/import planning.

02

Body & structure

Paint/body inconsistencies, accident indicators, corrosion, underside, jacking points, subframes and model-specific structural weak points.

03

Mechanical & diagnostics

Cold start where possible, engine/transmission behaviour, fault codes, leaks, brakes, suspension, tires, climate control and electrical functions.

04

Model-specific risk list

The inspection changes by vehicle. A V10 RS6, C63 Estate, Hilux diesel and Mégane RS do not get the same checklist.

05

Buy / negotiate / walk

The report exists to support a decision. If the car is wrong, the correct recommendation is to walk away.

WHAT OCG REFUSES

Some cars are not worth the story.

  • Identity/document inconsistencies that cannot be resolved.
  • Structural corrosion or accident repairs that make the value proposition wrong.
  • Seller pressure to skip inspection or documentation.
  • Modified vehicles where import/registration implications are unclear.
  • A vehicle that only works financially if we hide likely repairs or taxes.
EVIDENCE STANDARD

What we know vs. what we verify.

VERIFIEDPrimary / Canada-specific evidence
STRONGMultiple aligned signals
PROBABLEUseful lead, claim kept cautious
RESEARCH NEEDEDNot public as a hard claim

NRCan absence is never treated as sole proof of non-sale. Presence is strong positive evidence.

MONEY & DOCUMENT FLOW
01

Scope first

Target vehicle, budget, province, eligibility timing and sourcing brief are agreed before serious seller work begins.

02

Evidence before commitment

Inspection findings and known risks are shared before the purchase recommendation.

03

Separated cost stack

Vehicle, OCG work, inland transport, export, ocean freight and Canadian taxes are shown separately.

OCG Canada service pricing: If OCG buys the vehicle on your behalf, the OCG fee is €500 for finding, negotiating, purchasing and handling the transaction. Inspection travel is €0.35/km. If the vehicle is rejected and no purchase happens, the cost is only inspection travel at €0.35/km plus a €100 No-Buy fee. Fully insured vehicle transport to Hamburg, Bremerhaven or Zeebrügge is planned at approximately €1.00/km.
Case studies: the page structure is ready, but OCG should only publish a “real import” when photos, documents and customer permission are actually available. Until then, no fabricated social proof.
