You can choose your new car and configure it as you wish. The purchase and running costs are very high. A car usually pays for itself only after 6-8 years.

The purchase price of a new car is not the whole story. You also have to pay for insurance, cantonal redemption, taxes, tyres and tyre storage, as well as servicing and maintenance. These costs add up quickly.

It is possible to pay cash for a car or to finance it. Financing can be arranged through the seller's bank or an external bank. However, you should bear in mind that interest will be charged and therefore the total price of the car will be higher.

If the car needs to be repaired, the owner is responsible for the cost. However, in some cases, warranties or insurances can step in and cover some or all of the costs. It is important to find out about warranties and insurances in advance and choose a suitable option if necessary.

In addition to a number of advantages such as free choice, configuration, use and design, buying a car also involves a high financial outlay. Buying a car is therefore usually only financially worthwhile after 6-8 years. Other solutions such as car subscriptions offer flexible, financially more attractive solutions for a period of use of between 3 months and 4 years. Ultimately, the choice between buying a car, a car subscription or other solutions depends on individual needs, financial means and the planned useful life of the car. There is no clear-cut best option, but each approach has advantages and disadvantages that should be carefully weighed up.
