wirkaufendeinauto.deIn short: anyone living in Luxembourg or the Greater Region is usually better off with us. Two branches in the country, a price that is set on site and that holds, and a team covering seven languages. Besides German, also Luxembourgish, French, English, Portuguese, Arabic and Albanian.

The direct comparison: mirkaafenaerenauto.lu and wirkaufendeinauto
Ten points where the two providers differ clearly. Where possible, we name our sources.
Physical presence in Luxembourg
Two branches in Luxembourg. Roost: 8 Rue de Luxembourg, 7759 Roost, phone +352 28 70 39 35. Bertrange: 3 Grevelsbarrière, 8059 Bertrange, phone +352 26 17 61 31. Fixed team on site, own parking at the building, fixed opening hours. The price is set at the inspection. Payout by bank transfer on the same business day. For special vehicles we offer the best price through our network of over 40 buyers across Europe.
No branch in Luxembourg. The nearest locations are in Germany, usually Trier or Saarbrücken.
Price stability between online offer and on-site price
No advance offer online. The price is set at the on-site inspection. And it holds. We do not lower it when handing over the vehicle.
Instant online valuation that is often adjusted at the branch. The Trustpilot page of wirkaufendeinauto.de contains numerous customer reviews reporting exactly this on-site price reduction.
Languages on site
Our team covers seven languages: German, Luxembourgish, French, English, Portuguese, Arabic and Albanian.
Mainly German. In practice you rarely meet someone speaking French or Luxembourgish.
From appointment to payout
Once we agree, the SEPA transfer goes out the same business day. Jehad personally takes care of this as treasurer.
According to its own website, the transfer takes place after signature and completion. However, no specific timeframe is given there.
Acceptance of accident vehicles and lease returns
We buy almost anything, including accident vehicles and engine damage. For insurance assignments we have a dedicated section at mirkaafenaerenauto.net.
According to its own website, accident vehicles are purchased, but with an additional inspection step. There is nothing concrete there regarding vehicles with high mileage.

All brands. Very present nationwide.
Reach for users outside Luxembourg
We focus on Luxembourg and the Greater Region. This includes Saarland, Rhineland-Palatinate, the Eifel, the Moselle, Meurthe-et-Moselle and the Belgian Province de Luxembourg. For someone from Berlin or Munich, the distance is too far.
Dense branch network in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. A clear advantage for sales across the whole country.

When wirkaufendeinauto is the better choice
Anyone living in Germany, Austria or Switzerland who is clearly closer to a WKDA branch than to Bertrange or Roost is generally better served at wirkaufendeinauto.de. The number of branches in the German-speaking region is simply higher than with a provider from Luxembourg. Anyone who prefers a well-known online brand will also find an established platform there.

Anyone living in Luxembourg or right on the border is usually at our Bertrange or Roost branch within a few minutes. The price is set at the on-site inspection, without a detour through an online offer. Our team covers more languages than the three official languages of Luxembourg. Portuguese, for example, is one of them. Jehad Issa personally takes care of the SEPA transfer as treasurer. The goal is always the business day of signing.

On-site valuation, several languages on the team. wirkaufendeinauto.de has a markedly denser branch network in the German-speaking region. Both serve different situations. A general judgement in favour of one or the other makes no sense here.
