Get your car from Saarbrücken valued now

Car buying for Saarbrücken: from the state capital, the A620 gets you to us in Saarlouis in around 25 minutes — well worth the drive, because instead of a vague online estimate, you'll get a firm offer with payment on the spot.

Whether it's a commuter's car from Dudweiler, a student runabout from the Saarland University campus, or a company car from the Süd business park, we buy every make and model year. Vehicles with faults, an expired MOT or high mileage are just as welcome — and we'll handle the deregistration for you.

Good to know when selling your car in Saarbrücken

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

Local market conditions

  • According to the IBA-OIE, around 8,220 workers commute daily from France into the Saarbrücken region for work (as of mid-2023) — so used cars with high mileage frequently come from this area.
  • According to the city administration, Saarbrücken has no low-emission zone and no sticker requirement — older diesel vehicles can be driven and sold here without any emissions-sticker restriction.
  • With around 17,000 students at Saarland University alone (over 20,000 across all the city's higher-education institutions), Saarbrücken is very much a university town — and demand for small, affordable used cars is correspondingly high.

Tips for sellers from Saarbrücken

  • Since Saarbrücken has no low-emission zone, an older diesel sells here without a hitch — Automobil-Galerie-SLS in Saarlouis (25 minutes away via the A620) buys it regardless of MOT status too, so it's worth it even if reselling in a low-emission-zone city would otherwise be tricky.
  • For re-registration after a sale, any one of Saarbrücken's four citizens' offices (City, Dudweiler, Halberg, West) will do — but export plates aren't available at all of them (not at the City office, for instance), so it's handy to let the buyer take care of the export deregistration directly.
  • Saarlouis is directly reachable from Saarbrücken via the A620 in around 25 minutes, no detours needed — but in case of engine trouble or an expired MOT, arranging on-site collection in Saarbrücken beats a risky drive.

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.
