Swiss used cars

[dicktracy]

Hi all,
Me again....

Following on from my previous post about moving to Switzerland, I finally had some time today to go out and look at a couple of used car dealers.. Our plan so far was to pick up an old S3, Golf R32 or similar... But shock and horror.... All the cars I saw fell into either of two categories (1) bad condition, with purely scratched alloys and body work, worn seats and generally looking tired or (2) having enough after market modification to stock a Halford's store. To be fair there were probably more in the second category than the first. Is that a general trend in Switzerland, or is it more the case when these types of cars get cheaper and fall in to the hands of "young men who like that sort of stuff..."?

I did see a couple of nice Focus ST's, a surprising nice scooby and a couple of newer Golf GTI and R32s. So I might revise the plan a little and go for something newer or which is less popular with the modification crew....

Normally they have never cars like you mentioned. I do not know about your knowledge in German.

There is a search function for type, price etc. incl. Postcode.

yep, fortunatly they have the money to do it properly as well, not seem many halfrauds specials on the roads here.

No idea how they get them through the TUV test afterwards tho.
