What is my car worth in Switzerland?
There is no single value for a used car. There is a price the Swiss market pays this month, for this exact specification, in this condition, with this paperwork.
If you want the short version: request a selling price for your own car and get it within 24 hours, then use this to understand the number.
Switzerland is its own market
Swiss buyers pay for specification and provenance. All wheel drive, automatic gearboxes, a documented service history and a Swiss delivery from new carry real value here, more than in some neighbouring markets.
That is why foreign price lists and generic calculators mislead. What counts is what comparable cars are offered for in Switzerland right now, and how fast they are actually moving.
What moves the price most
Mileage against the typical figure for the year, the engine and trim, the gearbox and drivetrain, and the paperwork behind the car do most of the work. Genuine paid options such as a panoramic roof, adaptive cruise, leather or a towbar still add money years later, though only a fraction of what they cost new.
Then come condition and timing: wheel rash, tired tyres and an unusual colour narrow the buyer pool, while convertibles in spring and four wheel drive before winter widen it.
Standard equipment is not worth anything extra
Listing every feature the car has and expecting each one to add money is the most common pricing mistake. If it was standard on that trim, the market already priced it in. Listing the real extras correctly still helps, because it shows a buyer why your car sits above the cheaper ones next to it.
How to read the market yourself
Find ten to twenty of the closest comparable cars in Switzerland: same model, same engine, same gearbox, similar year and mileage. Ignore the extremes and take the middle, then adjust for how your car differs.
Check how long they have been online. A high asking price that has been sitting for six months is evidence of an overpriced car, not of value. And remember the asking price, the sale price and the amount that reaches your account are three different numbers.
How we price your car
We read the live Swiss market for your exact model and specification, weigh the cars that are actually selling more heavily than the ones sitting unsold, and aim at a price that sells in weeks rather than months without leaving money behind.
You see the target sale price and the amount you would receive, side by side, before you decide anything.
Let us handle the whole sale.
Get your selling price within 24 hours, keep driving your car, and we take care of the listing, the buyers and the paperwork.

How accurate are online car valuations in Switzerland?
Generic calculators work from averages, so they miss specification, condition and paperwork. A valuation built on comparable cars currently offered in Switzerland is far closer to what you will actually get.
Do options increase the value of my car?
Genuine paid extras do, at a fraction of their original cost. Equipment that was standard on the trim adds nothing, because the market already priced it in.
Does high mileage always mean a low price?
No. The market compares your mileage to what is normal for the age of the car. A well documented high mileage car with full service history often beats a low mileage one with no history.
How much does a Carease valuation cost?
Nothing. You get your selling price within 24 hours with no obligation.
