About
Based in Grünwald, Germany, and founded in 1998 by its CEO, Peter Brooks-Johnson, and co-founders, Nicolas Carbonari and Nikola Deskovic, AutoScout24 GmbH, formerly known as MasterCar AG, operates as a provider of an online-based marketplace that allows users, private individuals, and car dealers to trade new and used vehicles. In October 2019, Hellman & Friedman bid to acquire AutoScout24 GmbH from Scout24 AG for approximately EUR 2. 5 billion. AutoScout24 GmbH offers an e-commerce platform that allows users to find, buy, and finance cars and motorcycles.
Customers can utilize its tools, such as car reviews, price guides, car specifications, car photos, used car inventory, car loan offers, and trade-in tools, to research car content. Customers can also inquire about a new or used car, and the company will connect them with a dealer or manufacturer. The firm offers a lead management tool that helps users track inquiries. It also offers used trucks, trailers, tractor units, and forklifts through the TruckScout24 platform.
The mobile application supports iOS as well as Android devices.
