Where to buy damaged cars?

Hi,

do you know if there is a place in Switzerland where you can buy damaged cars? For example accident, vandalism or hail damaged.

Is there some sort of auction you can get one? or they just go individually?

thx

There are damaged cars driving around in CH? Where???

I only see the ones in 20 Minuten, where the drivers hell-raising and transparently maniacal character is brought into question for having the audacity to crash.

Anyway...you mean something like this? Or are you looking for something more salvageable?

Well, they have to do something with this car when they have 2 scratches right...

For now I am looking for something more recent and salvageable..for future classic maybe of my interest.

I know if the UK they have regular places where they auction damaged cars. They usually come from insurance write offs or if they are old and not worth repairing or just a bit broken people dont know how to fix it.

For example sth like this:

I have an old peugeot 307 I may get rid of, is this the kind of thing you're looking for?

Maybe you could buy a new one and add the damage yourself...

The best way to go for it is to look on Autoscout24.ch and sort on price.

Sometimes you'll find one with an extremely low price - those are the damaged ones. I can remember one dealer having most of his stock affacted by a hail storm somewhere last year, resulting in very low prices but I forgot the name of it.

Like this one,

I'm selling my damaged car if you're interested:

Hi,

Do u have still have access to AXA auctions? Or anybody else who has? Please contact me. Thanks!

There's a place in Meyrin or Vernier in Geneva that has a lot of cars ready for demolition, some more so than others, it's been years since I was there but saw for example a fairly decent-in-condition Merc SL55 AMG with a low price tag.

Another place that comes to mind is while driving from Geneva in the direction of Bern, right after Payerne area where there's Estavayer-le-Lac. There's a very straight highway with a military airport on the north side, and I think it was in Saint-Aubin, just north of Avenches. Once again, been years since I last visited, had a burnt down Ferrari in one spot.

Both places had occasional cars show up on autoscout, but they were also walk in hangars.

Thanks a lot for thinking with me.

I know about Axa and I would be very interested to enter their online auction portal but as far as I know this is only for Swiss registered car companies. My company is unfortunately not based in Swiss. However, I do business with Swiss car dealers for over 5yrs but it’s always more interesting to buy it straight from the source instead of different parties in between.

I would love to get in touch with someone who has access to any of the online Swiss Car insurance portals and find out if there are some business opportunities together.

Please reach out if u know more about this topic.

Thanks again!
