Why Hamburg is a smart place to buy
- Germany’s second-largest city. A major port and economic hub — broad choice from private sellers, dealers and corporate fleets.
- Strong market for corporate/lease returns. Regular maintenance, transparent history and careful use.
- Verifiable history. Service records (book & digital); we cross-check VIN, read ECU blocks to verify mileage and errors.
- Fair travel costs. We calculate mileage transparently and plan routes to inspect 2–3 cars per day when feasible.
- Competitive pricing. High turnover and competition often mean better specs for less; we support negotiation with facts from the report.
How it works — step by step
- Select listings. Search on mobile.de, AutoScout24, etc. using your budget and criteria (make, year, mileage, gearbox, colour).
- Pre-check (free). Send links — we call sellers to confirm availability, documents and full diagnostics permission.
- Trip planning & payment. We lock the date/route; you pay for the inspection + travel (calculated transparently).
- On-site inspection. Visual check, paint gauge by panels, photos/videos; optional live stream via WhatsApp.
- OBD diagnostics ×2. We read codes and mileage before and after the test drive — hidden issues surface under load.
- Test drive. Engine, gearbox, brakes, suspension and electronics in real road conditions.
- Expert report. Verbal summary on the spot; detailed written report with photos and recommendation the next business day.
- Decision & reservation. We help reserve the car (deposit, ad removal) so no one snaps it up.
- Deal support (optional). Contract, safe payment flow, export/registration papers — end-to-end.
- Delivery (optional). We arrange transport within the EU or to the border — best option by price/time.

Export — what to consider
- VIN history. Registrations, accidents, services, mileage logs — reduces risk and surprise costs.
- Duties & taxes. Estimate final budget in advance — use the calculator.
- Documents. Invoice/contract, export declaration (ATLAS/IAA-Plus), exit confirmation (AGV), export plates and insurance.
- “Export only”. Often cheaper but specific paperwork applies — we explain and prepare the full set.
