The complete EU new car guide: why the same car can cost up to 30% less

EU new cars are technically equivalent vehicles from the European distribution network. This guide explains pricing, warranty, COC documents and the digital buying process.

Why is the same new car cheaper elsewhere in the EU?

Manufacturers price each European market differently. Taxes, competition, purchasing power and sales targets can make the same model less expensive in another EU country.

eu-neuwagen.de combines these purchasing opportunities and passes on the advantage. The vehicle remains a regular new car with EU type approval.

Does the manufacturer warranty apply?

Yes. The manufacturer warranty applies across Europe and can generally be used in the German authorised network. Start date and scope follow the individual manufacturer terms.

Important: the warranty is provided by the manufacturer. Keep service and vehicle documents complete.

What are COC documents?

The Certificate of Conformity confirms that the vehicle matches an approved EU type. It is the central basis for German registration. All necessary documents are prepared during the purchase process.

Pre-registered, stock vehicle or factory order?

Stock vehicles are already produced and available soon. Pre-registered cars were registered briefly and often add another price advantage. Factory orders can be configured individually but take longer.

How does the purchase work?

Choose a vehicle or send a search request. We verify availability and terms and usually email a concrete offer within 24 hours. Contract, documents, registration and handover are then coordinated digitally.
