These 7 things you need to know the next time you buy a car

Before buying a car, it is important not only to determine which model it should be, but also how long the vehicle will actually be used. An unrealistically high assumption is quickly made, in the belief that the high acquisition costs will then be spread over many years. On average, a new car in Switzerland costs 51,281 francs, like that Statistics from AutoScout24 shows. But fewer and fewer people keep the same car for ten or more years. One study The comparison service Comparis shows that people over 30 years of age in Switzerland generally keep their car for around five years, and those under 30 only for around three years. The reason can be changing living conditions: You change jobs and suddenly no longer need the station wagon. Or children are born and there is no longer enough space in the small car. The so-called switching costs are then immense. The car subscription from Carvolution is ideal for rapidly changing living conditions, it offers terms of 3 to 48 months.

3. Long delivery times

Anyone who wants to buy a new car now not only pays more than usual, but also waits much longer. In Europe, the production of new cars was shut down during the pandemic. Now the factories are back in operation, but delivery bottlenecks for microchips continue to slow down the major manufacturers: production is being throttled, the delivery delays continue. Customers have to wait up to 14 months for individual brands.

–

The increasing demand not only leads to waiting times, but also causes prices to rise. Demand on the second-hand market is also driving prices higher. A remedy here can be your own car with a subscription from Carvolution create. More and more customers are realizing this: They opt for a car on a subscription from because of the attractive prices and flexibility Carvolution. The start-up in Bannwil currently has around 10 cars for customers available within two working weeks.

4. Calculate the total cost correctly

If you have a new car in your sights, when you think about the costs after buying it, you only think of the fuel or the parking fees. But one study from Germany shows: The actual costs turn out to be twice as high as expected. So that one does not suddenly run into financial difficulties, it is important to take into account all costs relating to the vehicle: insurance, fees for redemption, taxes, maintenance work, tires, tire storage, tire changes, vignettes, etc. The TCS calculates that a new car with a value of around 35,000 francs has a monthly cost of 800 francs. It is much cheaper to get away with a car subscription, here the monthly fixed costs for a small car are around 400 francs. Because at Carvolution Everything is included in the price – from insurance, registration and taxes to tires – that saves a lot of money. In addition, there is no need for a large down payment, as is the case with leasing.

5. Consider the depreciation of new vehicles

Owners of a new car should be aware that a vehicle not only incurs costs from the first day of registration (see above), but that the car also depreciates from the first moment. This point is often ignored by new car buyers. Depending on the model, this loss can be a whopping three quarters of its new value after five years, like one Elevation the SRF program «Kassensturz» revealed. Those who want to sell their car then often experience a shock. Who, on the other hand, has a car Carvolution does not have to worry about such losses, as the subscription model means that you do not have to worry about a possible resale and you drive much cheaper over the entire term compared to new cars and leasing options.

6. Do not classify the subscription model incorrectly

“Many people think that a subscription car is not like their own car, but far from it,” says Jonas Hager from Carvolution. “With a car from Carvolution, the customer gets a new or as good as new car, he can drive it abroad, and the car is also redeemed on the customer.” In addition, is Carvolution not only more flexible than the other car procurement models, but also almost always cheaper, like a comparison from Comparis shows.

7. Read the fine print when leasing

Even the supposedly cheapest option, leasing, can be tricky. In fact, 0.0 percent leasing sounds tempting – but the attractive interest rate is often simply offset by a low residual value, so that customers end up paying the same as with a classic 3.9 percent interest rate. In addition, a down payment of several thousand francs is often required for leasing and the vehicle is returned to the dealer at the end of the contract period. The leasing rate covers the depreciation and financing costs of the bank that owns the car.

–

Carvolution relies on transparency and dispenses with down payments. When you start your subscription, you only have to pay an initial flat rate of 390 francs. This covers the costs of creating the customer profile and checking the customer’s identity and creditworthiness. The fee is one-time and no longer applies if you change vehicles or pause your subscription.
