Purchasing a car online: Things to be aware of

You can simply buy a car completely online – just as we do for clothes and electronics. Payment is effected in the same way as with a conventional purchase of a vehicle: Purchase and leasing are both possible.

  • Buying cars online is becoming increasingly popular and can be a convenient and time-saving option.


  • Read how to purchase a vehicle over the internet and what potential challenges there may be.

«You can also test-drive the car when buying online.»

Here another summary of the key information:

  • It is possible to purchase a car completely online, similar to buying clothes or shoes.
  • When buying a car online, make sure you carefully check and set all the information and configurations before making the order.
  • Purchasing a car online does not mean you have to forgo sales advice and test-drives.
  • Payment is made by transfer or leasing, as is the case with traditional purchases; often there is a reservation fee which can be paid with credit card.
  • In the future, cars will be purchased increasingly online but there is likely to be a transition phase that will see a mix of online and on site purchases.
