Checklist before you message a leboncoin seller

Read the whole ad first: year, mileage, last service, why it is being sold. Then write a short, concrete message with a day you can come. Sellers of fairly priced cars sort their replies quickly and tend to favour buyers who already sound ready.

Ask three things in that first message: is the contrôle technique under six months old, is the service book complete, and is the carte grise in the seller’s name. The answers save you a wasted trip.

French car paperwork, explained for newcomers

The contrôle technique is the roadworthiness test; for a car over four years old the seller must provide a report less than six months old. The carte grise is the registration certificate. The non-gage, an official certificate of administrative status, tells you whether the car is pledged against a loan or blocked from transfer.

With those three documents and the carnet d’entretien in hand, take a proper test drive. Daylight and a cold engine tell you more than a warm car on a dark street.

Why email suits a slow, careful car hunt

Buying privately can take weeks. Alerts in your inbox sit beside the sellers’ replies, the photos of a service book and a mechanic’s quote, so a single folder holds the whole story. Inbox search brings back an ad you saw ten days ago from two typed words.

Free and Starter cover one alert address, Pro covers three, handy if you and a partner both want the list. Nothing to install.

Plans for a leboncoin car search

Free checks one search every 30 minutes. Starter at $5.99 checks five searches every 10 minutes. Pro at $14.99 checks twenty with the fastest checks. Every channel is included on every plan. Never pay a deposit before you have seen the car: settle at the handover, keys and papers in hand.

Finding the first alert mail

Your mail provider decides where a message lands. After the first match, look in spam or a promotions tab, mark it as wanted and add the sender to your contacts.
