FAQ

  • 1. GENERAL & PROCESS

    What is Kruvion? Kruvion is an independent automotive buyer advisory service for premium, performance and exotic vehicles. I help buyers understand the vehicle, identify purchase risks and decide what should happen before they proceed.

    Who carries out the work? Every engagement is handled personally by me, Igor Kruslin, founder of Kruvion. Assessments are not outsourced or passed to subcontractors.

    Who do you represent? I advise the buyer. I do not represent the seller and have no financial interest in whether the transaction goes ahead.

    What makes Kruvion different? The service goes beyond checking the physical condition of a car. I consider the vehicle, its background, the available information and the wider purchase decision. The purpose is not simply to find faults. It is to help you understand what you are buying.

    Which vehicles do you work with? Kruvion focuses on premium, performance, exotic and collector vehicles. This includes marques such as Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, Mercedes-AMG and similar vehicles. Koenigsegg enquiries are handled through the dedicated Koenigsegg Buyer Advisory service.

    Where do you operate? Kruvion is based in Skåne, Sweden. Physical assessments are available throughout Sweden and internationally by arrangement. Remote Advisory is available regardless of the vehicle’s location.

  • 2. SERVICES & CHOOSING THE RIGHT OPTION

    Which service should I choose? Remote Advisory is suitable when you need an independent view before arranging a physical assessment. Elite Assessment is for a detailed on-site evaluation of a specific vehicle. Concierge Advisory is for buyers who want the assessment combined with seller communication, coordination and continued support through the buying decision.

    What is Remote Advisory? Remote Advisory is an independent review of the listing, VIN, available documentation, vehicle history and information received from the seller. It includes a written summary, a private consultation and a clear recommendation on what should happen next.

    Does Remote Advisory include a physical inspection? No. It is based on the information available remotely. If the car requires physical verification, I may recommend an Elite Assessment or further specialist investigation.

    What is an Elite Assessment? Elite Assessment is a comprehensive physical evaluation combined with independent purchase-risk analysis. It examines the vehicle’s condition, available history, specification and relevant documentation before bringing the findings into one clear buyer report.

    What is Concierge Advisory? Concierge Advisory combines the Elite Assessment with greater involvement in the purchase process. I coordinate with the seller, arrange access, manage relevant communication and support you through the findings and buying decision.

    What is the difference between Elite Assessment and Concierge Advisory? With Elite Assessment, you manage the seller relationship and transaction yourself. With Concierge Advisory, I take responsibility for assessment-related coordination and act as your independent point of contact during the process.

    Can you help me choose the correct service? Yes. Send the vehicle details through the enquiry form. I will review the situation and confirm which service is the appropriate starting point.

  • 3. ASSESSMENT PROCESS

    How does the process work? You share the vehicle and available information. I confirm the appropriate service, scope, price and availability. I then carry out the independent review or physical assessment before presenting the findings and recommending what should happen next.

    What should I send with my enquiry? Send the vehicle listing, VIN, available documentation and any information or claims received from the seller. For unlisted or privately offered vehicles, provide whatever information is currently available.

    What does an Elite Assessment cover? The scope is adapted to the vehicle, but normally includes its exterior, interior, wheels and tyres, visible mechanical areas, electronics, diagnostic information, documentation and road behaviour where access and conditions allow.

    Do you dismantle the vehicle? No. The assessment is visual, operational and non-invasive. Components are not dismantled, and inaccessible areas cannot be evaluated unless separate access has been agreed.

    Is a road test always included? A road test is carried out where the seller permits it and the vehicle, insurance, weather and road conditions make it appropriate. Its availability cannot be guaranteed in advance.

    Can I attend the assessment? Yes, when practical. However, attendance is not required. The assessment is carried out independently and the findings are presented to you afterwards.

    Do you communicate with the seller? Seller communication and coordination are included in Concierge Advisory. For Remote Advisory and Elite Assessment, you normally remain responsible for the seller relationship unless something else is agreed in advance.

    How long does an assessment take? The time required depends on the vehicle, its complexity, documentation and the issues identified. Elite Assessment is not restricted to a rushed checklist or a fixed number of inspection points.

  • 4. FINDINGS & REPORTS

    What do I receive after a Remote Advisory? You receive a written summary of the main findings, risks, unanswered questions and areas requiring further verification. We then discuss the vehicle privately and agree on the most sensible next step.

    What do I receive after an Elite Assessment? You receive a structured buyer report covering the assessment findings, supporting photographs and the main risks affecting the purchase. The report concludes with clear guidance on what should happen before you proceed.

    What recommendation will I receive? Depending on the findings, the recommendation may be to continue, investigate specific areas further, negotiate based on the identified issues or walk away.

    How quickly is the report delivered? The expected delivery time is confirmed before booking. Reports are normally delivered within 24 to 48 hours after the physical assessment, depending on the vehicle and scope.

    Do you provide repair quotations? No. Kruvion is an independent advisory service, not a repair workshop. Findings can be used to request quotations from the appropriate workshop or specialist.

    Can the report be used for negotiation? Yes. Documented findings may support a price discussion or help define conditions that should be resolved before purchase. Kruvion does not determine the final purchase price.

    Will you tell me whether I should buy the car? I will give you a clear professional recommendation based on the available evidence. The final decision and commercial terms remain yours.

    How do I book? Submit the enquiry form with the vehicle details. I will review the request and confirm the appropriate service, scope, availability and total price before sending the payment instructions.

    When is payment required? Full payment is required before the engagement is confirmed and work begins.

    How far in advance should I enquire? Contact me as soon as you have identified a serious vehicle. Short-notice work may be possible, but availability and travel cannot be guaranteed.

    What happens if the vehicle is sold before the work begins? Contact me immediately. Whether the engagement can be moved to another vehicle depends on how much work has already been completed and which costs have been incurred.

  • 6. LIMITATIONS, LEGAL & CONFIDENTIALITY

    Does an assessment guarantee that the vehicle has no hidden problems? No. An assessment reflects the vehicle and information available at the time. It cannot guarantee against concealed defects, inaccessible issues, future failures or information withheld by another party.

    Is Kruvion a licensed repair workshop? No. Kruvion provides independent vehicle evaluation and buyer advisory services. It does not carry out repairs, maintenance or statutory vehicle inspections.

    Is the report a warranty or certificate of condition? No. The report records professional observations made within the agreed scope. It is not a warranty, guarantee, insurance policy or substitute for manufacturer or workshop documentation.

    Do you verify every seller claim? I assess the information provided and identify claims that appear unsupported, inconsistent or in need of further verification. Some information can only be confirmed by the manufacturer, an authorised workshop or another relevant third party.

    Can you guarantee the vehicle’s history or mileage? No. Available records and data can be reviewed for consistency, but Kruvion cannot guarantee that every event, repair, ownership detail or mileage record has been disclosed.

    Is my enquiry confidential? Yes. Vehicle details, reports and discussions are treated as confidential and are not shared outside the engagement unless required to perform the agreed work or authorised by you.

    Can I share the report with other people? The report is prepared for the commissioning client and the specific purchase decision. It should not be published, altered or presented as advice prepared for another party without written permission.

    Does Kruvion have any official affiliation with the vehicle manufacturer? No. Kruvion is an independent business and does not represent, speak for or imply endorsement by any vehicle manufacturer, dealer or seller.
