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.

Ask for the exact CO₂
It closes €160 of uncertainty before anything else moves. The message is ready above.
02
Have it looked at before paying
An independent inspection, before paying, is the only line in the budget that can save you the whole car. Ask for a quote: we do not invent prices.DEKRA ↗TÜV ↗No commission: you contact them and pay them yourself.
03
Decide how the car arrives
Two options: a transporter, or collecting it yourself. Compare with your own quotes.

Several risk signals

Worth checking
€11,499, which is 65% of the median price in France (€17,650, 16 listings).
Cheaper than the market: it could be a real bargain. Or a fault the listing doesn’t mention.
What to do:
Ask the seller why it’s priced like this. Get a VIN history report before paying anything.
Source: see detail — detail
Median of 16 comparable listings in France: €17,650 Read the source
Worth checking
Dealer with no reviews at all on the platform.
Without reviews, we know nothing about their past sales. Fake sellers often open a new account.
What to do:
Talk to them on the phone, see the car in person, and check that the name on the papers matches.
Cross-border purchase: car in Germany, to be registered in France. Get a VIN history report before paying. It compares the mileages recorded over the years.
Source: European Parliament, 2018 — detail

The listing doesn’t give the kerb weight. Ask for a photo of the registration certificate (Zulassungsbescheinigung Teil I).
