Is it technically the same car?
EU new cars meet the requirements of their EU type approval. Equipment packages may vary by market, so compare the actual equipment in the offer.
EU new cars: buy for less, compare carefully.
EU new cars come from the European distribution network. They meet the same EU rules, the manufacturer warranty depends on the individual vehicle, and national price differences can make them significantly cheaper.
What you really need to know
Does the manufacturer warranty apply?
An existing manufacturer warranty applies Europe-wide and can be used in the German authorised network. Whether a vehicle has a manufacturer warranty and when it starts is stated in its listing; the manufacturer terms apply.
How does registration work?
The Certificate of Conformity (CoC) confirms conformity with the EU type approval. Before buying, confirm which original documents will be supplied. Your registration authority can tell you which documents it requires.
Stock, pre-registered or factory order?
Compare delivery status, equipment and first registration. The manufacturer warranty may already have started on a pre-registered vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are EU new cars as good as domestic vehicles?
EU new cars meet the requirements of their EU type approval. Equipment packages may vary by market, so compare the actual equipment in the offer.
Do I get full manufacturer warranty?
It depends on the vehicle: whether a manufacturer warranty applies is stated in its listing. An existing manufacturer warranty applies EU-wide, and authorised workshops in Germany handle service and warranty work. Start and scope follow the manufacturer terms.
Are there differences in standard equipment?
Standard equipment may vary by target market. Always check the equipment list of the specific offer. Many dealers also offer the option to configure vehicles individually.
How does registration work?
The Certificate of Conformity (CoC) confirms conformity with the EU type approval. Before buying, confirm which original documents will be supplied. Your registration authority can tell you which documents it requires.
What is a day registration?
With a day registration, the vehicle is registered to the dealer for one day. This formally classifies it as a used car, enabling an additional price advantage. The vehicle itself remains practically new. For electric cars, however, this means the state EV subsidy no longer applies, because it only covers vehicles that were never registered before.
How long does delivery take?
Delivery time depends on the specific vehicle, its location and the handover arrangements. Stock cars have already been built; factory orders generally need more lead time. Check the delivery status in the listing and agree a handover date with the supplier.
