Car Selling Guide
We have been buying cars in Luxembourg since 2001 (and since 1997 overall, the first four years in Germany). Our team has together bought and resold over 40,000 vehicles and seen pretty much every situation there is. We share that knowledge here with you: practical know-how from nearly 30 years of car buying.
Whether you are selling your used car in Luxembourg, handing in a vehicle with German registration or coming to us from France: our guides contain the information you need. From the right documents (Carte Grise, vehicle registration, MOT, Contrôle Technique) to a realistic valuation and special topics like accident vehicles or electric cars. All articles are based on our daily work at mirkaafenaerenauto.lu in Roost and Bertrange.
