Anyone who wants to buy a private used car now has access to a whole range of used car exchanges on the internet. The choice is huge – but: which provider is really good?? Various tests have shown that not all of them are recommendable. But why is that? And what should you look for if you are looking for a used car or want to sell a used car??
used car portals – the different providers
The best-known providers for the sale of used cars include mobile.De, we buy a car.De and autoscout24.De. Somewhat less well-known are 12gebrauchtwagen.De and good-used.De. In addition, there are a number of other used car portals on the market.
Used car exchanges: differences in supply
The chances of finding the car you want are highest if the supply is sufficiently large. Unfortunately, this is not the case for all suppliers. There are here namely quite considerable differences. The one with the largest offer had at the time of testing a whole 1.2 million vehicles in the offer, others managed it to not even 100.000. This is only a fraction of it.
There are also clear regional differences. For example, the supply in cologne is almost twice as large as in hamburg. This means that interested parties and seekers should expand their radius as far as possible in order to find the best possible offer.
Used car marketplaces: special features
some portals offer the service to sell the car in 24 h after an expert valuation to a certified dealer. This is optimal if it must go particularly fast. The portal wirkaufendeinauto.De, on the other hand, offers the option of having the car appraised at the same time and combining this with car sales. There is even the option of making an appointment with one of the numerous branches and having the vehicle appraised on site by the automotive experts there.
Both private and dealer sales are easily possible on almost all portals.
A special feature is also 12gebrauchtwagen.De. If you are looking for a car here, you have access to several other sales portals through this portal. This means that almost all car exchanges and classified ad portals are searched automatically. This saves a lot of work. The prospective buyer does not have to search through all websites individually. He finds quite comfortably all interesting vehicles with a click.
Functionality and user-friendliness of the online marketplaces
not all providers had sufficient information or features such as the comparison of several cars available. Although it is possible to search for the car with the help of the advanced search functions on all of them. However, only a third of the providers offer convenient functions such as tools for estimating prices.
