“For over 10 years, I worked on projects for Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volkswagen, Nissan, Lamborghini, Bentley, Castrol, and Shell. I know the European car market from the inside - models, engines, typical weak points, and real ownership costs. Today, we help clients make informed car-buying decisions and avoid overpaying, hidden issues, and unnecessary risks.
Every case is personally supervised by me - because quality matters more than volume.”

Who We Help
We work with people who want to buy a reliable car in Austria or import one from Germany - with a clear budget, transparent checks, and full support at every stage.
-
International Residents and Expats in Austria
When you move to Austria, the car market can feel overwhelming: unfamiliar pricing, NoVA tax, insurance rules, service standards, and a language barrier.
We help you understand how the local market really works, avoid problematic cars, verify sellers, and go through the purchase process with confidence - even if you are new to the country. -
Buyers Considering a Car from Germany
Germany offers the largest used car market in Europe: more choice, often better condition, and frequently better value than local Austrian listings.
At the same time, importing a car involves risks - mileage manipulation, unclear history, incorrect cost calculations, and logistics issues.
We source suitable cars, verify documents and condition, calculate the full cost including NoVA, and support the entire import process.
- Buyers With a Budget but No Clear DirectionHaving a budget does not automatically mean knowing which models, engines, or gearboxes make sense for your lifestyle, driving conditions, and long-term ownership costs.
We analyse your needs, explain trade-offs, highlight real risks, and recommend configurations that work in practice — not just on paper. - Buyers Who Value Their TimeGood cars sell fast. Searching listings, calling sellers, comparing options, and organising inspections can easily take weeks.
We take over the process: market analysis, shortlisting, negotiations, inspections, and paperwork coordination - so you can focus on the result instead of the process.
Service Pricing
Transparent, fixed fees. No hidden costs.
All third-party services (workshop diagnostics, lifts, logistics) are paid directly — without markups or commissions.

Why Clients Trust Us
We are fully independent from dealers and sellers.
Our goal is not to sell a car, but to help you choose the right one.
Unlike dealers, who earn on margin and are incentivised to sell more expensive vehicles, we are paid only by the client. This removes conflicts of interest and makes the decision process transparent and predictable.

-
Deep Understanding of the Austrian and German Markets
We understand local pricing, typical mileage ranges, service practices, taxation (including NoVA), and regional specifics that are easy to miss from the outside.
This allows us to avoid overpaying and recommend cars that make sense not only to buy, but to own long-term. -
Experience With Leading Automotive Brands
Our background includes projects for Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volkswagen, Nissan, Bentley, Lamborghini, Castrol, and Shell.
This experience helps us understand platforms, engines, and typical weak points across brands — from mass-market cars to premium vehicles.
-
Strict Screening of Listings and Sellers
We exclude cars with distorted data, hidden damage, questionable preparation for sale, suspicious mileage, or non-transparent sellers.
Even in Austria and Germany — where the market is more regulated — risks still exist, and we address them systematically. -
Transparent Pricing - No Hidden Costs
Our service fees are fixed and clearly defined.
Workshop inspections, lifts, diagnostics, travel costs, and any additional services are paid directly - without markups or commissions.
You always know the total cost in advance, with no surprises or unnecessary “packages” added along the way. -
Support Until the Final Result
We guide you through the entire process until the deal is completed.
We review options, organise inspections, advise on documents, assess risks, support negotiations, and stay involved beyond the first inspection.
The process is fully supervised from start to finish.
