Buying or selling a car? It was tedious work for decades. There is a lot of money to be taken or spent. Also for occasions. Therefore, this step needs to be well thought out and controlled.
So sometimes you’ve driven hours in Switzerland to make an appointment to see a used car. One has been made smart, it shows how valuable the car was once as a new car and now after several years of use. As a buyer, you shuffled the ads, or as a seller, you placed them yourself. And they began to negotiate, trying to find each other at a price that both sides thought was right. Hoping that nothing is truly overlooked – and in case of a flaw as a buyer, the seller will prove to be accessible and accommodating.
At the same time, everyone wants the purchase or sale to be done as quickly, fairly, smoothly and with as little effort as possible. This is where Swiss start-up Farie.ch comes in. The makers once asked themselves why there are platforms suitable for almost all shops on the Internet – but not to simplify the buying and selling of used cars. The solution offers numerous advantages for all parties involved.
Advantages for the seller
-
Farie is the direct buyer of every car. It is the sole contact of the seller and can therefore guarantee uncomplicated processing. A transfer date is agreed immediately after the seller accepts the price. You can then safely leave the resale to the company.
-
There is no long wait; As a rule, after notification, the seller receives a purchase offer within two days.
-
Farie buys every vehicle. Requested cars in good condition (technically and visually) and less than 97,000 kilometers are resold via Farie.ch. Cars that do not meet these requirements are networked with hundreds of affiliated dealers. Therefore, resale is guaranteed through one of these two sales channels. One way or another, the seller is informed in which direction his car is heading.
-
But it definitely takes a lot of paper to make a sale like this, you say to yourself? No, you only need a service book and vehicle registration certificate to receive a purchase offer.
Advantages for buyers
-
Farie.ch checks cars by 310 points and is therefore more accurate than most used car buyers can do. Each of these points must be met for the vehicle to be listed on the website. This ensures the quality of the offer. Buyers get tested vehicles guaranteed.
-
You cannot put a car in a cardboard box and send it back (as in an online clothing store, for example). Farie.ch offers a “14-day test drive”, so to speak. If the vehicle does not meet expectations, it can be returned.
-
transparency Prices are non-negotiable here. Farie sets a price, which is valid and provides security. Negotiations are not possible.
-
You don’t even have to register the car yourself. If you wish, Farie.ch can do this directly with your cantonal authority.
-
Delivery is practically in front of the mailbox. Or at least on the doorstep. This applies to all Switzerland and Liechtenstein. The cost of this delivery: 250 francs. Those who want to save money can pick up the car from Farie in Studen in Bernese Seeland.
-
Those who prefer to rent will also find what they are looking for in Farie. The rental calculator gives buyers a non-binding estimate of the relevant fees online (based on a 4.9 percent nominal interest rate), and they can also purchase the rental online immediately.
