Plan workshop appointments, see who used the car and get a clearer picture of what it costs to run. Arrange the project overview around what matters to you.
•One vehicle calendar across Overview, Service and Finances: Switch between week, month and upcoming views. Overdue maintenance stays visible. In Finances, you can also see upcoming payments, such as insurance premiums, and recorded expenses.
•Make the overview your own: Rearrange, hide or show widgets such as the vehicle calendar, costs per kilometre and project status. Project status shows the latest expense, damage reminders and active cost risks. Your choices are saved for you.
•Keep a shared record of car use: Mark whether you drove, rode along or did both, for today or a past date. You can also see other project members’ entries in the calendar.
•Plan and record service work: Schedule jobs such as seasonal wheel changes or windscreen replacement. If the workshop says an inspection isn’t due yet, you can record that. For completed work, you can record or link an expense directly.
•Understand your cost per kilometre: See which amounts are recorded or estimated and how much repairs contribute. When there’s enough data, you can compare maintenance and wear expenses with your budget.
•Resolve open cost risks: Under Finances → Cost risks, track cases such as uncertain coverage or a disputed fine separately from your expenses. Once a case is settled, save the outcome and record any amount you still owe or link an existing expense.
•Record refunds as they arrive, including partial payments. Refunds reduce costs in the month you receive them, in both the expense overview and the monthly report. They follow the original cost split, and the original expense stays on record.
Find important vehicle details more easily: for eligible Volkswagen vehicles, your VIN can provide a model year suggestion. The CoC can help document the actual production date.
•Model year from the VIN: If an eligible VIN is already saved in your vehicle profile, you can review and adopt the suggestion directly. A model year can also be suggested when a vehicle document is analysed.
•Distinguish production year and model year: You can adopt the production date when it is explicitly stated in your CoC. First registration, production date and model year remain separate details.
•Understand the CoC: The glossary explains the EU Certificate of Conformity, which details are useful and how to request one from Volkswagen. Review documents and extracted details before saving.
Get advance notice of upcoming inspections and your saved HU due date. Your account settings show when each email is planned and which information it uses.
•Get advance notice: Inspection and HU / emissions test reminders start enabled with 30 and 7 days of notice. Turn each email type off separately under notifications and adjust the shared notice period.
•Understand the basis: Inspection reminders use confirmed maintenance requirements and matching service records. Emails name the saved upcoming work and explain where to check the information yourself. Unresolved or already due inspections do not trigger late advance notices.
•A saved HU month is enough: HU reminders use the saved deadline. If only a month is known, notice is calculated before that month ends. An earlier booked workshop appointment is taken into account.
•Follow dispatch: Each vehicle shows planned email times, a preview with its basis and dispatch history. Missing information is identified directly.
Improved AI analysis helps you extract details from receipts, vehicle documents and service books more accurately. Handwritten entries and checked service items are recognised more reliably.
•Read handwriting more accurately: Dates and odometer readings in service books are examined more carefully, making it easier to transfer older records from photos and scans.
•Capture completed work more accurately: Analysis distinguishes Yes and No markings and includes additional checked tasks, such as an extended inspection or a headlight alignment check.
•More resilient analysis: An alternative service can take over automatically if technical problems occur. PDFs, scans, photos and pasted text remain supported.
•Review details before saving: All extracted values remain suggestions that you can check, correct or complete manually. Consent to AI analysis remains separate from optional permanent file storage.
Published vehicles now have a compact overview with cost tiles and value history. Optionally share your costs per kilometre, while a small tracking indicator shows which cost categories are already covered.
•See more at a glance: On larger screens, the vehicle and receipts sit on the left, with costs and value history on the right. Monthly totals and approved kilometre costs appear side by side. The layout adapts to narrower mobile screens.
•Choose to share kilometre costs: Add costs per kilometre when publishing your vehicle. The calculation period, annual planning basis, estimates and missing information remain identifiable. The option starts switched off; existing publications require renewed consent and review.
•Check tracking coverage without clutter: An expandable circle shows how many cost categories are recorded or explicitly confirmed. Details distinguish available information, estimates and missing categories. The fill level is not a percentage of all actual costs.
Add, preview and remove individual photos before analysis. Clearer guidance in Service & maintenance shows which information is available and what is still needed.
•Review your photo selection: Add more photos, check the previews and remove individual images. Multiple photos of a document are combined into a PDF on your device.
•Follow analysis progress: The status shows whether analysis is running, complete or ready to retry. Review the extracted details before saving.
•Relevant service guidance: Help distinguishes between missing information, analysis without matching results and existing evidence. It identifies the relevant document or entry and labels drafts and saved details.
•Choose how to add information: Use PDFs, scans, photos, pasted text or manual entry. Choose analysis and permanent file storage separately.
Vehicle details, technical information and documents now have their own page. Complete your profile and research relevant maintenance requirements in one place.
•Manage vehicle details in one place: Edit technical information, equipment and odometer readings directly in the vehicle profile. Find changes in vehicle value under “Value history”.
•Use details from documents: Extract suggestions from documents such as the vehicle registration certificate or manufacturer documents, then review them before applying. You can also enter details manually.
•Find maintenance requirements with sources: Research relevant maintenance intervals using your vehicle details. Review the manufacturer sources and confirm suitable requirements for Service & maintenance.
Receive your car’s monthly overview by email and see which information is already available in your account. Partial reports show usable cost categories, label estimates and explain which details are still missing.
•Automatic dispatch: With active management access and reports enabled, receive the previous month’s overview on the 1st of each month from 09:00 Berlin time. The first regular dispatch starts on 1 November 2026 for October. Each project member can choose report emails independently of other project updates.
•Missing information stays unresolved: Insurance, vehicle tax, depreciation or instalments, fuel and charging, and other expenses are checked separately. If only depreciation can be evaluated, the email says so and names the missing areas. Missing values never count as zero; a total appears only when every basic category is covered. Dispatch waits if there is no usable information.
•Check readiness in your account: Under Account → Notifications & cost reports, see each car’s possible report, information gaps and links to complete them. The overview also shows the next regular dispatch, the dispatch service and your latest report status.
•Confirm completeness deliberately: Confirm that fuel and charging payments and other expenses have been checked for the selected month, including months with no expenditure. Explicitly mark insurance or tax as not applicable where appropriate. Relevant source changes require an earlier confirmation to be reviewed again.
•Understand the pricing features: Terms with a dashed underline in Basic, Standard and Premium explain expense shares, email reports, receipts, service and maintenance, and depreciation. The explanations work with hover, keyboard and touch.
Choose which unrepaired damage records appear in the vehicle overview. You can show damage marked “Left unrepaired” again at any time without changing its status. Your documentation stays intact.
•Choose what to display: Under Damage → Edit → In the vehicle overview, choose “Show”, “Hide” or “Automatic by status”. This controls the reminder and its 3D marker for everyone in the project and persists after reloading.
•Keep records and amounts: The record remains available under Damage and in the Unrepaired filter. Hiding it alone changes neither costs nor loss in value; existing estimates are still included.
•Manage status independently: “Show” makes damage marked “Left unrepaired” visible again. Automatic mode hides damage marked “Left unrepaired” and shows open or planned repairs. Repaired damage is no longer shown as an active reminder. New records start in automatic mode.
When your car’s estimated value rises above its purchase price, the cost overview now reflects that gain too. Monthly and per-kilometer costs account for value changes in both directions, while recorded expenses and payments stay unchanged.
•Value changes in both directions: Depreciation increases economic monthly and per-kilometer costs; a value gain reduces them. Gains count as a negative cost component and can make the overall total negative.
•Expenses stay separate: An estimated value gain is not a payment received. Saved expenses, receipts and payment totals stay unchanged. Financing and leasing continue to use the payments basis without offsetting monthly payments against vehicle value changes.
•Clearer labels and explanations: Depending on the valuation, the overview shows depreciation, a value gain or no value change. Gains appear in green with a plus sign. Explanations, the glossary and publicly shared vehicle views clarify how value changes affect economic costs.
New monthly and average views make your vehicle costs easier to understand. Document management shows analysis activity and explains which data stays when you delete a file. In Car Meetup, chat directly in the parking view and explore more varied parking areas.
•Switch cost views in place: Arrows inside the existing display switch between monthly costs, the average of the last twelve completed months and the average since acquisition. Your browser remembers the view for each account and project. Open the period and calculation when needed; shorter histories show the available period.
•Follow document analysis activity: The document log shows which file or text input was submitted for analysis and whether processing is running, succeeded or failed. It stores details about the activity, not the extracted content. Clear the log independently of your documents.
•Delete receipts and photos deliberately: Before permanently removing a stored original, a confirmation explains the effect. Saved purchase details, confirmed insurance and service information, expenses and cost calculations stay intact. Deletion errors are shown so you can try again.
•Chat inside the parking view: Expand or collapse the integrated Meetup chat and see unread messages. Press Enter to write and Escape to return to driving. Different surfaces, markings and surrounding details give the parking areas more character.
•Enter first registration more flexibly: Vehicle and insurance details accept a complete date, month/year or just the year. Invalid dates receive a clear explanation.
•Understand annual mileage adoption: Compare the saved value with the insurance figure before applying it. Feedback distinguishes between a value transferred to the form and one already saved. Cost planning and forecasts use the new annual mileage after you save.
Vehicle value estimates now reflect your driving distance. Confirmed market values appear immediately in charts and key figures, with damage accounted for on the correct date. Easier mileage entry, compact save notifications and clearer navigation simplify everyday use.
•Update market value immediately: Confirming and saving a valuation updates the current vehicle value, monthly figures, chart and forecast straight away. Values above the purchase price are also reflected as a gain. When you confirm several valuations for the same date, the most recently saved confirmation takes precedence; a failed save leaves the previous value intact.
•Driving distance affects vehicle estimates: Extra mileage compared with ordinary use lowers the estimate; lower mileage slows depreciation. This transparent approximation applies to monthly values, forecasts, the overview and depreciation costs. The purchase price and confirmed market values remain the dated basis, with the mileage effect shown separately.
•Remove mileage readings directly: Remove the last recorded odometer reading from the vehicle profile or the monthly table. An earlier reading is used again when available. If saving fails, the recorded reading stays in place and you can try again.
•Understand mileage estimates: Without a later reading, mileage is projected from a recorded reading and your expected annual distance. If purchase mileage is missing, the first registration can provide an explicitly estimated valuation basis. Recorded readings, intermediate values and estimates remain distinct; new or removed readings can also change the euro estimate.
•Damage on the correct date: Additional losses apply from the damage date, with residual losses starting on the repair date. Damage already present at purchase or a market-value confirmation is not deducted again afterwards. This also covers damage entered later and prevents duplicate deductions in the forecast.
•Compact save notifications: Feedback takes up less space. Open the full explanation by clicking, tapping or using the keyboard, or by hovering on desktop. Details you have opened stay visible while you read them.
•Recognise links more easily: Text links use consistent green styling with clear highlighting. Small arrows identify onward links, and a visible focus indicator makes keyboard navigation easier.
•Clearer footer: Product information, calculators and tools, knowledge and help, information about us and legal pages have their own sections. Contact details and the language switch are directly accessible, and navigation stays clear on small screens.
Our brand identity is now in one place: logos, app icons, colours, typefaces and the promotional film. The new branding page helps you present wirkaufenunserauto.de consistently.
•Download original assets: SVG wordmarks are available for light and dark backgrounds. Preview and download the transparent app icon and the Apple touch icon as PNG files.
•Watch the promotional film: The video loops automatically without sound and can be paused at any time. With reduced motion enabled, it only starts when you choose to play it.
•Create a consistent identity: Copy brand colours directly. Guidance on typefaces, logo usage and tone of voice helps you keep a shared look and feel.
•Easy to find: The branding page is linked in the footer and available in German and English. Previews and downloads also work on mobile.
Drive your ready 3D car to a shared meetup on desktop. The angled parking view shows vehicles at a common scale and creates a place to chat beside your cars.
•Drive over and park yourself: Car Meetup appears in the sidebar after starting driving mode. See who is online, on the way or already there.
•Compare vehicle sizes: Length and width without mirrors from the registration certificate are enough for the meetup. Height is optional and estimated from the 3D model when omitted. Dimension ranges are also supported and labelled as approximate.
•Find dimensions more easily: Expand the help for overall length, body width without mirrors and overall height, with the corresponding registration-certificate fields. Gemini can research your model on the web, showing the vehicle match and sources before you apply it. Fill empty fields or explicitly replace entered dimensions, then save them yourself.
•Chat together: Each parking area has its own chat and space for up to 24 participants. More areas open automatically when needed. Parked cars stay when you change pages.
•Choose to share: The project owner allows the vehicle model to be shown to meetup participants, then project members can join. Messages disappear when the area is empty; vehicle costs remain unchanged.
When a 3D model is available, navigating your project by car on desktop is easier. Clearer engine details, annual mileage hints and document entry help you set up and review your shared car.
•Driving controls at a glance: Visual arrow keys explain acceleration, braking, reversing and steering. Separate cards cover the space bar, getting out and automatic pauses.
•Get straight in: Make, model and an available 3D model are enough to start driving. Missing performance data uses clearly labelled game defaults; an AI estimate is optional.
•Enter engine details clearly: Add power in PS or kW with automatic conversion, an exact engine variant such as 1.4 TSI, or both. “Save & drive” applies your details and starts driving in one step.
•Understand annual mileage: Hints show whether expected mileage is an app default, your own entry or an imported value. Insured annual mileage and expected driving distance stay separate; empty or invalid entries do not replace saved values.
•Add documents more easily: Copied text and free-form details have their own clearer section. Vehicle fields and spacing are better aligned. Game driving values do not change vehicle costs.
The project workspace has a new, cleaner design. A sidebar, compact header and mobile project menu make it easier to move between vehicle details, costs and agreements.
•Desktop sidebar: Access the overview, costs, damage, value history, agreements and settings directly in Car Management. Collapse the sidebar when you want more space.
•More room for content: A compact header and fewer repeated headings and links keep your vehicle details and costs in focus.
•Project status at a glance: The project card in the sidebar shows whether your car search is active, vehicle management is active or paused, or the car has been sold.
•Easy navigation on mobile: The menu button opens the project sections in a side menu. The current section is highlighted in green, and the menu closes automatically after you make a selection.
•Consistent controls: Buttons and spacing are coordinated across the project sections. The familiar fonts and colours stay in place.
Enlarge and review your submitted photos before your 3D vehicle model is created. Email feedback can take you to the finished model or explain which new photos are needed.
•Review every view: Open all four submitted vehicle photos and enlarge individual views before model creation.
•Confirm costs separately: Viewing photos does not start paid model creation. Starting it requires separate confirmation.
•Feedback on the result: A message can take you directly to the finished model or explain an unsatisfactory result.
•Submit new photos: When new shots are needed, you receive guidance and can edit and upload your vehicle photos again.
Car Management now has one place to start with contracts, policies, expense receipts and damage photos. Review detected details or enter everything manually.
•One place for documents: Add contracts, policies, expense receipts or damage photos above the task bar. You can also paste an image or copied text.
•Less typing: With your consent, Gemini identifies the document type and suggests relevant values. Review and apply them before saving anything.
•Manual entry stays available: Choose the document type yourself and add or correct every detail in the form.
•Keep purchase contract details: The purchase price, contract date and seller remain available after saving. The save button returns when you make a change.
•Choose file storage separately: Decide whether to keep policies and receipts in the project. Damage photos are saved with the confirmed damage record.
Record how your vehicle was acquired, keep instalments and ongoing costs aligned with your contract type, and start a fresh support conversation when you need to.
•Record the right acquisition type: Choose purchase, financing or leasing and save the key contract and payment details with your vehicle.
•Keep track of instalments: Add payments already made and those still ahead, so your cost overview better reflects your actual payment status.
•Plan leasing correctly: Leasing takes ongoing instalments into account without depreciating a vehicle value.
•Start a new support session: Safely reset a support conversation and begin again with a new question.
Add insurance during setup or later in Car Management, and bring details across from policies and receipts with less typing.
•Insurance at a glance: Record your insurer, coverage, premium, payment frequency, policy dates, deductibles and insured annual mileage.
•Easy document entry: Choose a PDF or image up to 8 MB, drag it into the form, or paste an image or copied text. This works for insurance documents and expense receipts.
•Optional AI help: With your consent, Google Gemini suggests details from the document. Review which values to use or fill in the fields yourself. You decide separately whether to store the file in the project.
•Plan your costs: Optionally use the premium as a recurring insurance cost and confirmed vehicle details for further cost planning.
•Documents at hand: Open and delete stored insurance documents in your project. Confirmed details remain saved when you delete the file.
