Reputable online sales platforms such as mobile.de work with protected phone numbers and email addresses for private sellers. This allows you, as a prospective buyer, to obtain information about your desired vehicle without immediately disclosing your personal contact details or banking information.

Attention! Photos of vehicle registration documents and ID papers can be forged! A reputable seller generally does NOT publish personal data online. A reservation deposit via an alleged escrow service before viewing the vehicle is highly unusual. Cash-transfer “purchases” via Western Union – possibly without a negotiated sales contract, without original vehicle documents, or without confirmed vehicle availability – are extremely dubious. Protect yourself against such alleged “services” that are said to be credited later toward the purchase price. Please make NO full payment! Unlike PayPal buyer protection, payments via Western Union are not secured!

Tempting – because very low – is often also the price or mileage of a motorhome offered online. Question this carefully! Ask for further information and expert verification. Look closely! With fake vehicle documents or photos “found” on the internet, prospective buyers are deliberately deceived.

VARIO Perfect 800 SH 

for the extremely striking price of EUR 205,000 in February 2023, then EUR 180,000, and now EUR 160,000, is of course NOT being sold by the rightful owner!

Anyone who knows the real value of such a high-end motorhome will be particularly vigilant here. Fortunately, you as VARIOmobil owners were highly attentive regarding legitimacy. The fake listing was quickly identified within the motorhome sector and the fraudulent sales attempt repeatedly removed from online marketplaces.

At this point, a sincere thank you to everyone who repeatedly reported the fraudulent listing. In this way, we as a premium manufacturer of exquisite touring vehicles can support mobile.de and other sales platforms in quickly identifying and removing bad actors. The safety of our customers and the credibility of vehicle listings—especially in the exclusive landyachting segment—must be ensured. Fraudulent intentions must be stopped as quickly as possible.

Especially because demand for 

high-quality used motorhomes 

is currently far greater than the available supply: prioritize security when purchasing a vehicle! The vehicle market is virtually “sold out” due to long new-vehicle delivery times caused by material shortages and disrupted supply chains. Contact us! Exquisite pre-owned vehicles are often only available “by word of mouth”.
