Sellers in the Lviv region mention a US history more often than in the Dnipro region
Among regions with the most listings of imported cars after accidents, sellers in the Lviv region mention the USA or an auction in 35.4% of listings (5,542 cars), in the Rivne region in 32.1% (1,277) and in the Dnipropetrovsk region in 29.2% (2,549).
Where the gap comes from
Western Ukraine is the main gateway for imports: cars there are often sold by the importer or first owner, for whom US origin is a normal part of the description. The further from the border, the more often the car has already been resold and the history is mentioned less. This matches another finding of ours: the longer ago a car came from the US, the less often it is mentioned.
Our position
A six-point gap does not make any region "honest". Even in the Lviv region two sellers in three say nothing about the USA. The rule is the same everywhere: VIN first, then inspection, as in How to spot a car after an accident.
