Car buying for Merzig and the Merzig-Wadern district: following the B51 along the Saar, you'll reach us in Saarlouis in a good 20 minutes. Many of our customers from Merzig, Beckingen or Losheim choose to sell to us to avoid the hassle of private sales — endless viewings and the risk of warranty claims later on.

Instead, you get a firm price, instant payment and a legally watertight sales contract. We also give fair valuations to caravan tow cars, 4x4s from the Hochwald hills, and high-mileage vehicles.

Good to know when selling your car in Merzig

Low-emission zoneNo low-emission zone – no diesel driving ban, no emissions sticker required.

Local market conditions

According to the Federal Environment Agency, Saarland currently has no active low-emission zone whatsoever — not in Merzig, nor in Saarlouis; there's no diesel driving ban here as there is in Stuttgart or Cologne.
Nearly two-thirds of all Saarland residents commuting to Luxembourg live in the Merzig-Wadern district — close to 7,300 people (as of March 2023) cross the border to work every day, so used cars from the region often carry high mileage.
According to the Cologne Institute for Economic Research (2023 figures), the Merzig-Wadern district ranks among the 20 lowest-purchasing-power districts in Germany — despite the many commuters earning a Luxembourg salary.

Tips for sellers from Merzig

Since no low-emission zone applies in Saarland, an old diesel without a green sticker is no obstacle to selling in Merzig — unlike in Stuttgart or Cologne, the car sells here without a hitch, even without a valid MOT.
Many vehicles from the Merzig-Wadern district carry high mileage from daily commuting to Luxembourg — this can lower the value, but it's never a dealbreaker: the buyer in Saarlouis also takes cars with high mileage or engine trouble.
Rather than booking your own appointment at the Merzig-Wadern registration office (Bahnhofstraße 44) to deregister the car, the buyer in Saarlouis (around 20 minutes away via the A8) handles the whole deregistration for you — no appointment-hunting, no trip to the authorities.

Frequently asked questions about car buying

How does the car buying process at automobil-ankauf.de work?

You fill in our form (it takes under two minutes) and we get back to you shortly with an assessment. We then inspect your vehicle at our dealership in Saarlouis — or at your location by arrangement. If we agree, you get a fixed price, a legally sound purchase contract and instant payment on handover.

How quickly will I get my money?

Immediately on handover. We pay by real-time transfer — the money is usually in your account within seconds, before you even leave our dealership.

Do you also buy cars without a valid MOT (TÜV)?

Yes. A valid roadworthiness test (Hauptuntersuchung) is not a requirement — the vehicle's condition is simply factored into the valuation. We also buy vehicles that are no longer roadworthy, by arrangement.

Do I need to deregister my car beforehand?

No. You can drive to us with the car still registered — we take care of deregistering it with the licensing authority after the purchase, and you'll receive confirmation of deregistration.
