Why choose Autobuster?
Anyone looking to sell their car usually faces the same question: should they sell it privately or trade it in at a garage? A private sale often promises a better price, but it also involves a lot of effort — from creating the listing and handling enquiries to arranging test drives and negotiating with buyers. Trading in your car at a garage is convenient and quick, but usually results in a lower price.
This is where Autobuster comes in. We combine the higher selling potential of a private sale with the convenience of a professional full-service solution. This allows you to sell your car more easily, more securely and with the goal of getting the best possible price.

FAQs
Selling your car online with Autobuster could not be easier. We take care of the listing, buyer enquiries, test drives, negotiations, contracts and payment — while often helping you achieve a higher selling price than with a traditional trade-in. Best of all, you only pay if your car is successfully sold.
Unlike a traditional trade-in, Autobuster does not buy your car and resell it at a profit. Instead, we market and sell the vehicle on your behalf. Because there is no dealer resale margin, you keep more of the final selling price.
Eurotax and auto-i provide vehicle valuations based primarily on dealer market data. Autobuster goes one step further by estimating the realistic private-sale value of your car using live market listings, buyer demand and actual selling prices — and then helps you sell it at that price.
TCS provides independent vehicle inspections and technical expertise. Autobuster combines these independent checks with professional vehicle marketing, buyer communication, negotiations and sales support. By working with trusted partners such as TCS, we ensure that the right expertise is involved at every step of the selling process.
AutoScout24 is primarily a marketplace where sellers usually manage the sales process themselves. Autobuster handles everything for you — from valuation and listing creation to buyer enquiries, negotiations and handover. We also use AutoScout24 as one of several sales channels to maximise your chances of finding the right buyer.
We combine data-based valuations with real market experience. Thanks to thousands of buyer enquiries and customer interactions, we understand the market, can assess your car’s value realistically and help you sell it safely, transparently and with less effort.
