Answered briefly

What happens when the settlement quote expires, when the offer is below the outstanding balance, or when 22:00 is the only slot that works.

How fast do I get an offer?
Usually within 60 minutes while we are reachable — daily between 08:00 and 22:30. By phone it is fastest, because we can clear up follow-up questions on the spot.
Is an evening or Sunday appointment really possible?
Yes, that is explicitly part of what we offer. The last appointment of the day starts at 22:30. For the inspection we only need a lit spot — an underground garage, a petrol station or a street lamp will do.
My car is older than model year 2002. Is that still possible?
The line is a rule of thumb, not a law. For older vehicles we cannot quote across the board, but we are glad to look at the individual case — especially well-kept cars, off-roaders or sought-after models. Call rather than write it off.
What happens if the bank's settlement quote expires?
Settlement quotes are usually valid for 10 to 30 days. If the deadline passes, we request a new one together with you — the amount then shifts slightly because interest keeps accruing. That is why we deliberately schedule the appointment inside the validity window.
What if your offer is below the outstanding balance?
Then the vehicle is "underwater" and you pay the difference to exit the contract. We tell you that figure before any appointment is arranged — never at the handover.
Cash or transfer — what is usual?
You decide. For larger amounts many choose the instant transfer, whose arrival you can see on your phone while we are still there. Above certain cash thresholds we are legally required to record and document your identity.
Do you also come outside the Winterthur region?
Yes. Our regular routes cover the Zurich Oberland, Thurgau, Eastern Switzerland and the Schaffhausen area, but we drive across the whole country. Travel is always free, even if no deal comes of it.
Who takes care of deregistration and paperwork?
We do. Purchase contract, cancellation of the registration document and, on request, returning the plates. You keep your signed copy of the contract as proof that liability passes to us at handover.

You are one call away from your price

Make, model year, mileage — that is all we need to start.
