I came across the German automobile website www.mobile.de where I found some used cars going for as low as 1,000 Euro. Cars which if purchased in the US or Canada would cost much more.

I was really surprised and considered the fact that shipping from these European countries wouldn't be more than 700 Euro. Are these offers for real or there are some hidden costs to it. Cos when things seem to good too be true, they usually are.

Mobile.de is a good website. i actually wanted to buy a car off a dealer there one time but my contact in Germany screwed me pretty good. But one thing you have to consider is that, those cars could be pretty old and need repairs. And trust me their mileage is nothing below 200k and they are manual transmission vehicles. and yea, please be smart enough to kno if its a diesel engine cos those are the types you are likely to find within than range except you are buying a golf3 which is within the 1k price range..

Thanks so much for the clarification guys.

How can one outside Germany get a car and have it taken to the port and shipped without a contact? It seems a bid impediment.

Please how is it possible to complete a transaction in Germany because have seen a car that is of interest to me but the unfortunate thing now is someone to assist complete the transaction. Thanks

igahdavid: Yes they are for real, cheap cars, original mileages(though it could be high) but mostly manual(schaltgetriebe). I have bought lots of cars from them. You just have to try and buy vehicles that are near to your shipping agent, because the pickup cost might become expensive.
