What is AUTO1 Group?
AUTO1 Group is a Berlin-based, publicly listed (ETR:AG1) used-car platform spanning 30+ countries. It operates three brands: wirkaufendeinauto.de (instant-buy C2B), Autohero (online retail) and AUTO1.com (Europe’s largest B2B wholesale marketplace). In 2025 it reported €8.2B revenue and sold 842,000 cars — roughly 3.1% of the European used-car market.
Market Position
AUTO1 Group is Europe’s largest B2B used-car wholesale and instant-buy operator, with 842K cars sold in 2025 (€8.2B revenue, ~3.1% of the European used-car market) across 30+ countries. Its distinctive asset is transaction and wholesale pricing data plus condition grading from its instant-buy flow — information that does not appear on classified portals. That makes it a high-value source, though access is more gated and B2B-oriented than a public marketplace.
Data Fields Available
Carapis extracts a structured record from AUTO1 inventory:
- Vehicle identity — make, model, trim, model year
- Specification — fuel type, transmission, spec details
- Condition — mileage and condition grade (AUTO1’s standardized instant-buy condition assessment)
- Pricing — listed / wholesale price
- Listing context — location, photo gallery
The condition grading and wholesale/transaction pricing are what make AUTO1 uniquely valuable — data not found on consumer classified portals.
