Everything you've been wondering.

No — and this is fundamental. AMLI Motors does not buy any vehicles and never becomes their owner. You remain the owner until ownership passes to the final buyer, which only happens once the funds have been released to you in full. We act as an intermediary: the sale takes place directly between you and the buyer. That is what makes any hidden margin impossible.

We cross-check four sources: the model's reference price guide, comparable active listings in your region, actual sale prices observed over the last three months, and how quickly the model sells in your area. We present you with a reasoned price range alongside the comparable vehicles. The guaranteed net price is then set by mutual agreement and written into the mandate: it is the minimum amount you will receive. If the gap with the market is too large, we will tell you frankly.

The mandate runs for 3 months and then renews month by month. If no offer has come in after thirty days, we call you to adjust the price together — in the vast majority of cases, it's the price that's holding things up, not the vehicle. You can terminate at any time, in writing and free of charge, unless we have already introduced a buyer who has made an offer on the agreed terms.

You do. We operate a virtual stock: after the inspection appointment, you drive away in your car. It remains insured by you and you continue to use it as normal. When a serious buyer comes forward, we agree on a time slot and you bring the vehicle to the branch for the viewing and test drive — always accompanied by an adviser, and always after the test driver has signed a waiver and we have copied their licence.

About an hour. The 80-point inspection takes around forty minutes, the photo and video shoot around fifteen. We also use the time to check the vehicle's administrative status and finalise the valuation. If everything suits you, the mandate is signed straight away and the listing goes live the same day.

The buyer pays the price into an escrow account opened with an independent third party (bank, notary or escrow provider). AMLI Motors does not hold this account and never collects the price of the vehicle. The funds are released to you as soon as you accept the sale in writing; if you refuse it, they are returned to the buyer. The keys and documents never change hands before the funds have been released to you in full.

The sale is concluded directly between the seller and you: the warranty for defects in the vehicle is owed by the seller, under the Swiss Code of Obligations (CO). We also offer, as an option, a mechanical warranty of up to 24 months, with several levels of cover, taken out with a specialist insurer and covering the main components.

Call us. We pull out the file: inspection report, handover report, seller's declarations. If the defect was listed in the report you countersigned, we will explain it to you factually. If it is a defect we should have detected, we take responsibility and offer to have it repaired at a partner garage. If the dispute is a matter for the seller, we support you in your claim — we won't leave you on your own.

Yes, as an option. We prepare the file and submit it to the cantonal road traffic office. You receive the temporary documents you need to drive while it is being processed.

Yes. If you buy from us and have a vehicle to sell, we inspect it in turn and offer you either a consignment sales mandate or a firm trade-in by one of our partner garages if you want to move quickly. Both files progress in parallel.
