Second hand car, how to know is its leased or loan?

Hi,

I'm buying a second hand car.

How can I make sure that the car is not leased or loan?

It should say somewhere on the Fahrzeugausweis?

I have the copy of this document.

Thank you.

It should say the ownership cannot be transferred in one of the three official languages on the grey card of vehicle.

Just under the insurance information, I think in remarks/observations section.

In some of this area?

Leased cars have code 178 "Halterwechsel verboten" in section 14.

Code 178 is not there in your attachment

Thank you very much.

And after the owner "invalidate" the current document and send to me for the transfer.

Can I use the car to go get the new plates and document?

Or after is invalidated, the car cannot be used until I get the new document.

Field 72 = Emissionscode = A24 = Elektroantrieb (Batterie) = electric drive (battery)

My car in under leasing, this how the Fahrzeugausweiss looks like. Field 14, Remark #178 = HALTERWECHSEL VERBOTEN, CHANGE OF VEHICLE HOLDER PROHIBITED

I believe you mentioned several times on here what car you got... no need to blind it out anymore ;-)

I can't recall, what was it? Pretty much 95 % of the users here have some sort of penis extension though don't they?

I'm the other 5 % obviously

I guess OP’s question has been answered. Let’s derail this

Anyone else looking at the action of flood damaged cars by hurricane Ian? I need to retire and take on the quixotic quest of saving these beauties.

I figure out that I can use the car only until the end of day the document is marked as invalid.

Take a look at this thread, it’s relatively recent:

What you mean by "use the car" ? Once grey card is canceled, the owner would take license plates with him/her. So yes, you can sit in your new car, but that's about it.

If you want to move the car to your parking, take out temporary 1 day license plate if your canton provides have such option. Alternatively discuss with the seller, maybe you can pay for train ticket and he/she can drop of the car at your place.

Also watch out for code 153 too.

Me neither, but as it has a code 178: it's not his

No, as it has no plates and insurance.

And plates and insurance.

If it still has the plates. No plates, then NO!

Maybe the best way is to take the morning to get the gray paper with the seller, go get the plates and register, and return the plates to the seller.

The car will be deposited in my place since today until he receives the payment on Monday. So after he receives in his account, he will invalidate the document.

Flooding isnt the same as flooding... thats seawater damage in cars full of electronice. Given the costs to repair anything in Switzerland... forget about it for here. But maybe get it to Mexico to fix?

Get rid of all textiles, dip rinse in freshwater to remove salt, a Toyota or Honda engine swap, brake and suspension upgrades and it's a nice toy.
