Korean used cars for European importers
Prices in EUR, German and English translations on every listing, and the documentation published in eight European languages. What a European importer needs and the Korean market does not hand over.

Korean inventory is attractive and hard to reach, and the obstacles are always the same three. Each has a specific answer here rather than a general one.
- Language — every listing carries en and de blocks: manufacturer, model group, model, badge and fuel type, translated. The Korean originals stay for matching back to the source.
- Currency — priceFrom and priceTo take EUR, and prices come back converted. The raw Price field is in units of 10,000 KRW, which is the classic first-integration bug.
- Specification — powerPs and powerKw where the trim is known, plus mileage in kilometres and model year as a real date, so a German or Dutch listing page can be populated without manual re-entry.
Who is already doing it
K-Imports in Jülich imports Korean vehicles into Germany and runs its listings on these endpoints. The shape is the familiar one: a scheduled pull of the brands and price bands they buy in, cached on their side, with single-vehicle calls for availability when a customer enquires.

The site is published in German, Polish, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Russian and Albanian alongside English and Korean. Not a translated landing page — the endpoint reference, the field documentation and the pricing page, each at its own URL.
Questions people ask about this
Are prices available in euros?
Yes. The priceFrom and priceTo filters take EUR and prices are returned converted, so no exchange rate lives in your code. The raw Price field remains in units of 10,000 KRW for anyone who needs the source value.
Are the Korean fields available in German?
Yes. Every listing carries a de block with manufacturer, model group, model, badge and fuel type in German, alongside the English block and the Korean originals.

Not logos. Three live businesses importing Korean cars into three different markets, each serving its public inventory from these endpoints.
There are exactly three, and the right answer depends on how fresh your data has to be and how much engineering time you want to spend keeping it that way.
The data comes from a Korean source, so four of these fields are read wrong by default. Each one fails silently — your page renders, it is simply incorrect.
