AutoScout24: Automobile market: vehicle buying and selling app

AutoScout24: Automobile market is a vehicle marketplace app by AutoScout24 GmbH that helps users buy and sell cars, compare leasing and financing options, and manage vehicle listings from a mobile device. The app connects private sellers with dealers and buyers, offering a large catalog of vehicles across Germany and other European markets. With more than 2 million active offers, it serves as a central hub for anyone looking to purchase a new or used car, sell their current vehicle, or explore alternative ownership models like leasing and subscriptions.

The app provides a structured browsing experience where you can filter vehicles by make, model, price, mileage, year, fuel type, and location. Each listing includes detailed information about features, condition, and dealer reviews, which helps you compare offers side by side. Beyond standard purchases, you can also explore leasing deals, financing plans, and car subscriptions, filtering by monthly payment and contract term. For those who prefer a fully online transaction, the app supports direct car buying with home delivery through the Smyle service.

Version 26.44.3, released on October 27, 2026, continues to refine the marketplace experience with improvements to search, listing management, and overall stability. The app also includes transparent price ratings that indicate whether a vehicle is cheap, fair, or expensive relative to market averages, helping you make more informed decisions. Whether you are a first-time buyer or a seasoned seller, the app aims to simplify the entire vehicle lifecycle, from initial research to final purchase or sale.
