Selling a car takes a lot of time. Or for evaluation by a garage. Or car brand, engine, equipment etc. on the internet. For numerous information such as Considering the nearly 850,000 used cars that change hands each year, this is a huge effort.
There’s an easier way – and it’s all digital: Enter the make, model, mileage and first registration date on Farie.ch and get a real-time price range for the car. “Anyone who wants to sell their car can find out what the possible price is faster and easier than we do. From a non-binding price range to a binding offer – anything is possible with us,” says Farie COO Lucian Keller.
The reasons for wanting to sell your car are as varied as the variety of models. Changing needs, switching to a different drive technology, or simply using the money for other purposes. The following points show what is important when selling.
Is it worth selling?
Well used cars are very popular. Prices in the second-hand market also rose accordingly. But after four years “on the road” and driving 50,000 kilometers per hour, it’s not so easy to find out what the market value of your own car is. Here, the Farie calculator helps as a first clue. That way, potential sellers know what return they can expect after just a few clicks. Or whether the sale paid off.
Why does Farie offer this calculator?
“We created the used calculator to be able to provide a price estimate for a car as uncomplicated as possible, without customers needing to go directly into the sales process,” says Paul Siermann, Product Manager for Farie.
Get a binding purchase offer
Anyone who then wants to know the exact price or get a quote can also do so directly through the Farie website. Vehicle registration certificate and a few pictures are sufficient. Farie gives tips on how best to take photos. After the necessary data is entered, the vehicle is evaluated and an offer is made in a very short time. The purchase offer is non-binding: if you are satisfied, you can close the deal with Farie. If you do not accept the price, you can refuse. Vehicle appraisal is free and has no selling fees or listing costs.
Why should I sell to Farie?
Farie is the direct buyer of the car. Another advantage of the online shop for used cars is that you only have one business partner. Sellers don’t have to deal with negotiations, inspections, test drives and payment processing. If the sale happens, an appointment is made and Farie picks up the car at her front door. The money will be transferred to the account in a very short time.
Are situations handled by Farie?
Farie checks each car against a 310-item checklist. The car is offered for sale on Farie.ch only if these quality criteria are met. The condition of the used car is extensively documented here: with service history, photos and signs of wear. In this way, buyers receive a tested vehicle with guarantee.
Warranty and return policy
Each vehicle has a 1 year Farie warranty from the date of purchase. If it’s not the right car though, it can be returned for free within 14 days.
Why an online store for cars?
«Consumers today are used to trading products online. Also, many customers use the internet to buy their new car. The logical conclusion is that you can also buy and sell cars directly through an online store,” says Farie CEO Johannes Weirather, explaining the digitization of the used trade in an interview.
