mobile.de review

mobile.de is the first stop for anyone who wants a car from Germany, the market that many European importers buy from. Its App Store description says it is Germany's largest vehicle market with more than 1.4 million cars, including over 80,000 electric cars, plus motorcycles, vans and campers. The app lists a transparent price rating that flags good offers, saved searches with alerts, leasing and finance offers sortable by monthly rate, and the option to buy some cars fully online. Adevinta, its parent company, describes it as the most popular vehicle marketplace in Germany for private and professional sellers and says it also reaches international buyers. It ranks second here only because it is a single-country site: buyers comparing several countries get more from AutoScout24. The website refused our automated checker, so we could not confirm its listing fees and marked pricing as pending. We compared documented features and published fees only.
