Which vehicles do we purchase for export?
Accident-damaged cars
Front damage, total write-offs, structural damage — valued on international reconditioning market value.
Older models
From year 2000, high mileage no problem — Eastern European and North African export markets actively seek these segments.
No MFK / technical defects
Missing Swiss roadworthiness certificate or mechanical faults don't rule out a purchase — export markets apply their own homologation standards.
Diesel with driving ban
Vehicles subject to urban driving restrictions often achieve a full resale price on export markets.
Vans & light commercial
Delivery vans, minibuses, pick-ups — commercial vehicles bought individually or in batches.
All makes
VW, BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Toyota, Opel, Renault, Peugeot and more — no brand preference, export demand decides.
Fleet purchase
Lease returns, company fleets and larger inventories valued as a package — faster processing, single point of contact.
Without Swiss registration
Imported vehicles, already deregistered, or with foreign plates — no obstacle for export.

Car export purchase: what to expect from a Swiss professional
Eurotax + export market as valuation basis
We combine the Eurotax market value with current export demand in destination markets including Poland, Romania, Morocco and Turkey. This means you get a fair price even for vehicles the Swiss market rejects.
CO Art. 197 et seq. & international export regulations
Every vehicle purchase for export is subject to Swiss contract law (CO Art. 197 et seq.). Our team knows both the Swiss seller's obligations and the homologation requirements in destination markets — no surprises after the sale.
Deregistration at the Strassenverkehrsamt
Deregistration is a legal requirement and can be time-consuming. We handle the entire process — you receive confirmation once the vehicle has been deregistered.
Why export markets pay more than Swiss dealers
In Switzerland, strict MFK requirements, emissions standards and urban driving bans for older diesel vehicles make certain cars difficult to sell locally — and dealers reduce their offers accordingly. Export markets in Eastern Europe, North Africa and the Middle East apply different homologation standards: an accident-damaged car that finds no buyer in Zurich can be repaired and registered in Warsaw or Casablanca.
Swiss Carfax & vehicle history in the export process
We check the vehicle's history via Swiss Carfax and the national vehicle register before making an offer. This protects both parties: you get a price that reflects the vehicle's actual history — with no risk of a late withdrawal due to undisclosed prior damage.
When is selling for export particularly worthwhile?
Selling for export is especially attractive for vehicles with over 200,000 km, accident-damaged cars without a Swiss repair estimate, older diesel SUVs (Euro 5 and earlier), and commercial vehicles with low residual value in Switzerland. In these segments, the export price regularly exceeds Swiss dealer offers by 15–30%.

We buy vehicles of all makes and models — accident-damaged cars, high-mileage vehicles, cars without MFK, diesel vehicles subject to driving bans, and older models from 2000 onwards. Export market demand and the Eurotax value determine the price, not local Swiss condition alone.
