Yes, international buyers can order specific colors and trims for new vehicles from China, but availability depends on whether the vehicle is a new factory order or from existing dealer stock.

Understanding your options is key to balancing customization with delivery speed. The choice between a factory order and an in-stock vehicle directly impacts the level of personalization you can achieve.

Factory Orders for New Vehicles

For buyers who need an exact configuration, a factory order is the best route. This process involves placing an order directly into the manufacturer's production queue. You can typically specify:

  • Exterior Color: Choose from the full range of official paint options offered by the brand (e.g., BYD, Chery, Geely).
  • Interior Trim: Select specific materials, color schemes, and finishes for the cabin.
  • Optional Packages: Add features like advanced driver-assistance systems, premium sound systems, or specific wheel designs.

The primary trade-off is time. A factory-ordered vehicle has a longer lead time because it must be built before it can be shipped. However, it guarantees you get the precise vehicle your market demands. Through our Factory-Direct New Car Sourcing, Starvia Automotive liaises with manufacturers to confirm available configurations and place orders that match your exact business needs.

In-Stock and Pre-Owned Vehicles

If speed is your priority, choosing from available in-stock inventory is a faster option. These are new vehicles that are already built and are at dealerships or holding facilities, ready for export. While you can still choose from various colors and trims, your selection is limited to what is physically available at that moment.

For used cars, customization is not possible. You are purchasing the vehicle in its current state, including its existing color, trim, and features. The focus here is on the vehicle's condition, which is verified through a pre-shipment inspection.

How to Request a Specific Configuration

To ensure we can source the right vehicle for you, follow these simple steps:

  1. Submit Detailed Specifications: When you request a quote, clearly state the make, model, and year. Most importantly, list your preferred exterior color, interior trim level, and any essential optional features.
  2. Consult with Starvia Automotive: Our team will take your requirements and check with our network. We will confirm if a factory order is needed or if we can find a suitable match in current inventory.
  3. Review Your Options: We will present you with a clear quotation that outlines the vehicle's specifications, pricing, and the estimated timeline for either a factory build or immediate sourcing.
