Why Berlin is a smart place to buy
Professional inspection & diagnostics. Berlin is Germany’s capital and one of the country’s largest car markets. Dealers and private sellers offer a vast selection across all brands and classes. Thanks to strict German roadworthiness inspections (TÜV) and regular servicing, cars are typically in very good technical condition. Maintenance history is usually transparent (service book + digital records). High competition keeps prices attractive — often lower than in other regions.
- Huge choice. From compact city cars to luxury saloons and SUVs — you’ll find almost any make and model in Berlin.
- Solid technical condition. German servicing standards are strict. Most cars have timely maintenance and need no urgent investment.
- Transparent history. Service books and VIN-based online checks help verify mileage, repairs and prior damage.
- Close to our base. We’re nearby, so call-outs are quick and transport costs are minimal. We can inspect 2–3 cars in one trip.
- Copart nearby. A large Copart Germany site operates close to Berlin. We can inspect repairables/salvage units before bidding.
How it works — step by step
- Shortlist cars. You search on platforms (e.g., mobile.de, AutoScout24) by budget, year, mileage, trim and send us links.
- Initial check (free). We contact the seller to confirm availability and full diagnostic access, then report back and plan the visit.
- Scheduling & payment. You pay for the inspection + agreed transport costs. We issue confirmation and a formal service agreement.
- On-site inspection. Full visual check, paint gauge readings, photos/video. We connect a diagnostic scanner to all ECUs.
- Test drive. Assessment of engine, gearbox, brakes, suspension and electronics in real road conditions.
- OBD diagnostics ×2. We scan before and after the drive to catch faults that may reappear after mileage under load.
- Expert verdict. Immediate verbal summary on site; next business day — a detailed written report with photos and recommendation.
- Decision & reservation. If it’s a match, we help reserve the car. If not, we continue the search.
- Deal support (option). Paperwork check, sales contract, export docs, payment flow and safe handover — we can handle it.
- Delivery (option). We arrange transport to your city or border via trusted logistics partners.

Export — what to consider
For higher-value cars or if you plan to export outside Germany, keep in mind:
- VIN history check. Run the VIN to verify owners, recorded mileage, accident entries and service events.
- Duties & taxes. If exporting (e.g., to Ukraine or other non-EU countries), estimate customs, excise and VAT in advance. Use the official calculator to avoid surprises.
- Paperwork. Invoice/contract, export declaration (ATLAS/IAA-Plus), proof of export (AGV), transit plates and insurance. We advise and help verify all documents and VAT status.
- “Export only”. Some adverts are marked “export only” (not for German registration). Price can be lower; we’ll guide you through the nuances.
