Buying a Car in Switzerland: How We Bought a Mercedes for $5,000

Are in interested in buying a car in Switzerland, or curious about the process?
This month we bought a car in Switzerland, a Mercedes-Benz for 4,800 francs, which is the equivalent of about $5,000 USD. In this video I teach you guys the exact process we went through to buy a car in Switzerland. I’ll be covering everything from searching online, to viewing the car, buying it, registering it in the canton, finding insurance, and buying a parking permit.

STEP BY STEP GUIDE:
1. Define your criteria.
2. Search online.

3. Contact the seller to view the car.
4. View the car and either buy it or keep looking. If you do buy it be prepared to sign a contract on the spot.
5. The inspection. Figure out if the car needs a new inspection or not. In Switzerland, a technical inspection is mandatory when selling a used car over ten years old, if the last inspection took place over 12 months ago.

6. Before taking the car, you must register it/ get license plates. In order to do this you must first obtain insurance, and the vehicle certificate (from the seller).

7. Go to the Department of Motor Vehicles in your city/canton and register your new car!
8. Parking Permit. Buy a parking permit in your city if you wish to park on the street. If you already have a private parking spot, you're already set!
