Risk signals

We found no risk signals in what we can see.

A listing doesn’t show everything. Between 30% and 50% of cars sold from one EU country to another have a tampered odometer: before paying, get a vehicle history by VIN.

Source: European Parliament, 2018 ? — detail

European Parliament, EPRS 2018 — “Odometer tampering: measures to prevent it”: 5-12% of used cars sold within one country have a tampered odometer; 30-50% in cross-border sales Read the source

What to do now

Three decisions, in this order. None of them asks you to pay us anything.

The four rules of the German policeRead them before writing to the seller, not after.Read moreShow less

01Never pay in advance: no deposit, no handling fees, no transport paid up front.
02Money only changes hands against the keys and the Zulassungsbescheinigung Part I and Part II.
03Distrust any escrow service proposed by the seller.
04A price far below the market is the most frequent alarm signal.
