🔎 Open mobile.de ↗

A working method: label, compare, call

When the email comes in, open the promising ads in tabs and compare equipment, mileage and photos side by side. Label the email with the model name. Call the best one first and offer a specific viewing time; sellers tend to favour the buyer who sounds ready.

The emails you do not act on still have value. A fortnight of them shows you what comparable cars are listed for, which is the best preparation for a price discussion.

Keep one label per model so the archive stays readable. When you buy, the thread with the winning ad is also a handy record of what was promised in the listing.

Three inboxes for a family car decision

Pro can send the alerts to up to three addresses: you, your partner and perhaps a relative who knows engines. Everyone sees the same cars and can reply in one thread. Free and Starter send to one address.

What to check on a German used car

Look at the service book and receipts and note when the next HU inspection is due. Compare the VIN in the Fahrzeugbrief with the car, and the owner’s name with the seller’s ID. Start the engine cold and drive it yourself.

Do not pay anything in advance for a car you have not seen. Be careful with sellers who only write emails and propose delivering the car through a transport company. If you are unsure, a used-car inspection at an independent garage is money well spent.

Getting the first alert email into your inbox

Your mail provider decides where messages land. After the first match, check spam as well, mark the email as wanted and save the sender. You can unsubscribe through the link in every email.

Plan choice for a used-car search

Free checks one search every 30 minutes. Starter at $5.99 covers five searches every 10 minutes, handy for two or three models. Pro at $14.99 runs twenty searches with the fastest checks. Email is included on every plan.

If a check cannot get through to mobile.de, it sends nothing that round and the next round tries again, so there is no guaranteed delay.
