FAQ — Common questions
Is it really the largest car market?
Essen Autokino is considered one of the largest and best-known car markets in Germany/Europe. It typically operates on Saturdays, so you can view many options in one day.
Is a VIN check alone enough at the market?
No. A VIN report shows history but not the current condition. Paint anomalies, fresh damage, load-dependent noises and hidden errors are revealed only with an on-site inspection, OBD before/after and a test drive.
How do I choose among hundreds of listings?
We filter in advance by budget/class, meet on site with a short list and check each car against a structured checklist — fast and efficient.
Can you handle export?
Yes. Contract, safe payment workflow, Ausfuhrkennzeichen, insurance and logistics — see Export.
