Luxembourg seller guide
Selling your car to a garage in Luxembourg
A garage offer generally exchanges some potential sale price for a simpler process. Judge it by the net amount, remaining conditions, timing and services—not by the headline figure alone.
How a garage calculates an offer
A garage starts with likely resale value and accounts for inspection, repairs, preparation, transport, stock time and professional obligations. Its current inventory and customer demand also affect interest.
Indicative versus firm offers
A first figure based on form data is often conditional. Ask what remains to be inspected, where it happens, how long the figure is valid and exactly which findings could change it.
Compare proposals on the same basis
Compare the amount actually paid, deductions, included services, timing, collection and payment method. When trade-in is tied to another purchase, separate the vehicle discount from the trade-in value.
Prepare for inspection
Bring keys, records, relevant invoices and the same information submitted initially. Cleanliness helps inspection, but do not assume every cosmetic repair will return its cost in a higher offer.
How Autofocus supports the process
With seller consent, Autofocus shares a sanitised file with approved garages. The seller remains free to decide and contracts directly with the garage. Private sellers pay EUR 0; garage fees arise only after an accepted deal is confirmed under the applicable terms.
Frequently asked questions
Is a garage offer guaranteed?
Only when it is expressly described as firm and all of its conditions are satisfied. An initial indicative amount may change after inspection.
Why do offers from two garages differ?
Their stock, customers, preparation costs, risk assessment and expected resale opportunities can differ.
Does Autofocus choose the offer for me?
No. The seller decides freely whether to accept or decline an offer.
