Questions and answers
How can I search for a car with you?
Use our search engine to find your ideal car. You can choose our standard search function, which lets you easily filter by make, model, price, year of manufacture and mileage. Would you like to search more specifically? Then click 'advanced search'. This gives you extra filter options, such as transmission, fuel type, power, colour and equipment. Didn't find what you were looking for? Create a search request via our website or the chatbot. You can also search yourself via platforms such as autoscout24.de, mobile.de or official Gebrauchtwagen websites of car manufacturers. In many cases we can also import vehicles offered there for you. Have you found an interesting car? Then paste the link of the vehicle at 'Direct an online BPM calculation' on our website and leave your details. We will then contact you as soon as possible to discuss the possibilities.
Where do the cars on your website come from?
All cars you find on our website are offered via official brand dealers or verified sellers in Germany. This means they are usually young, well-maintained vehicles with a transparent origin. We carefully select these cars based on quality, dealer reliability and completeness of the vehicle data. The price listed with each car on our website is in most cases a 'road-ready on Dutch registration' price. This price includes the purchase, our import package and the BPM. So you know in broad terms what to expect in terms of total costs, without surprises afterwards. With some cars it may happen that the BPM is not yet included in the price. This is because the original German advertisement does not state CO2 emission data, and these are essential for a correct BPM calculation. In such a case our import advisors can quickly and without obligation carry out a BPM calculation for you as soon as you submit a request. This way you still get immediate insight into the full costs of the car. Each advertisement on our site contains the most important specifications of the vehicle, including the year of construction, the mileage, the option list and the photos of the vehicle. Are you seriously interested in a specific car? Then our import advisors can further map out the car for you. They check, for example, the current condition, damage history, maintenance history, dealer reliability and any other particulars of the vehicle. This way you get a complete picture of the car before you decide to proceed with the purchase. At Das Import, transparency comes first. We are happy to help you make a well-considered choice, with a clear cost overview and professional advice from experienced import experts.
What are the advantages of importing a car from Germany?
Germany has a wide range of nearly new cars. They are often cheaper to purchase, more richly equipped with options, have a lower mileage and are supplied with a warranty.
