Selling your car doesn't have to be a nightmare. No endless online listings. No tire kickers showing up at your house. No paperwork headaches. Here’s how Autociel makes this simple.
There are two ways to sell - pick what works for you:
OPTION 1: Direct sale -> quick and easy
Autociel buys your car directly. Cash in hand. Done.
Instant offer
Tell Autociel about your car. They give you a fair trade-in price on the spot.
Zero hassle ‘consignment sale’ service
Doesn't matter if you bought it from them or somewhere else. Nearly new or pretty old. They buy it.
Fast and simple
No waiting for buyers. No test drives with strangers. Autociel picks it up, you get paid. Finished.
BEST FOR: Anyone leaving Switzerland soon or wanting the fastest sale possible.
OPTION 2: Sales assistance -> maximum price
Want more money? Autociel sells it for you. You get a higher price than you could manage privately.
Here's what they do:
Pick up your car
Autociel comes to you. No need to drive anywhere.
Professional listing
Photos, description, online ads. All handled.
All the annoying stuff
Answering questions. Scheduling viewings. Arranging test drives. Dealing with financing requests. Autociel does it all.
De-registration and paperwork
When it sells, Autociel handles the admin. You just get the money wired to you—wherever you are in the world.
Fee structure
7% of sale price, or minimum CHF 2,990. This covers everything: pickup, transport, online listing, viewings, financing arrangements, the works. Only specific repairs your car needs (like body work or tires) cost extra.
BEST FOR: Cars with good resale value where you want maximum return.
🔎 Why professional selling beats private sales
When you sell privately, you usually get less. Buyers lowball. They haggle. They walk away.
Autociel is a professional dealer. They know the market. They have buyers waiting. They can price your car properly and actually get that price.
Result? More money in your pocket. Without the stress.
