Used cars, across Europe

Find the right used car. Know what you are buying.

Tell Carlenius what the car is for. It scores real listings from European marketplaces, flags what tends to go wrong on that model, and shows what it should cost.

Free, and no account needed to get a shortlist.

How it works

From “I need a car” to a shortlist you can trust

Say what the car is for

Budget, how far you drive, who rides with you, what you tow or carry. No model names needed — working those out is the job.

Get listings scored against that

Carlenius ranks real listings from European marketplaces and shows why each one scored the way it did, so you can argue with it.

Check the car before you pay

Known faults for that model and year, what an inspection should cover, what the common fixes cost, and VIN history through integrated check services.

What you get

Everything for the decision, in one place
