eBay classifieds group

mobile.de was launched in 1996 as a pioneering online database of vehicles for sale. The goal was to make it as easy as possible for German dealers and private sellers to create listings — and for buyers to quickly locate the car, truck, motorcycle or mobile home they were searching for.

mobile.de soon established a loyal online community of dealers; more than 35,000 strong in Germany. Today, mobile.de is a prime marketplace for European vehicle sales, with more than 1.4 million listings and ads in nine languages. To support international vehicle trade, mobile.de also provides additional marketplaces in Italy (automobile.it), France (automobile.fr), Poland (www.mobile.eu) and Romania (www.mobile.ro).

Dealers can upload as many as 15 photos per ad and can take advantage of unique special features, such as the market-value calculator. Manufacturers, wholesalers and rental companies can target ads exclusively to commercial customers. Buyers can specify detailed individual preferences to receive customized offers.

For private sellers, basic four-week ads are free. Additional options include more prominent placement on the mobile.de home page, larger photos and a longer listing period.
