How do garages set their buyback prices for vehicles in Switzerland ?

When a garage determines the buyback price of a vehicle, several factors come into play to assess its value. Here are some of the main elements considered:

1. Age and mileage: The older the vehicle and the higher its mileage, the lower its buyback value tends to be.

2. Overall condition: The general condition of the vehicle is assessed, including the bodywork, interior, mechanics, and any additional equipment. You can reduce this margin by using your insurance to cover bodywork damage.

3. Service history: A complete and regular maintenance history can increase the vehicle's value. Garages take into account invoices and service stamps.

4. Market demand: The current local market demand for that specific type of vehicle influences the price. Supply and demand are key factors.

5. Options and equipment: Additional features and special editions can enhance the vehicle's value, such as sport packages (S-line, R-line, ST Line, M Pack, AMG, GT Line, N-line), special editions, trendy colors, or popular configurations.

6. Compliance with regulations: Compliance with current safety and emissions standards also plays a role. Vehicles that meet modern standards, such as hybrids, tend to have higher buyback values.

7. Buyback Software: Dealerships often use professional buyback software to analyze a vehicle using its chassis number and include any defects to determine an accurate buyback price. Common tools include Eurotax and Auto-i.

8. Used Car Market Conditions: The general state of the used car market can also impact the buyback price. A more competitive market may drive prices down.

By taking these factors into account, garages evaluate your car and propose a buyback offer. We would recommend that you compare offers from multiple garages to secure the best price.
