Vehicle imports with a contact in Bonau TG
Looking for a make, engine or specification missing from stock? Auto Bonau can assess sourcing options. Tell us the model, budget, equipment and timeframe so we can check the specific possibilities.
An import is not automatically cheaper than a car already available in Switzerland. Compare the full price, equipment, condition, warranty and delivery timing.
1. Check the desired vehicle and documents
A useful assessment needs the exact version, first registration, mileage, origin and available documents. Equipment and warranty can vary by market. Swiss registration requirements must be checked for the actual vehicle.
For an initial enquiry, send the listing link or describe your requirements. We will clarify which information and documents are needed next.
2. Compare total costs before ordering
Have the offer specify included services: vehicle price, transport, import processing, applicable charges, technical checks, registration and handover as relevant. Clarify modifications and extras too.
Current import and tax requirements are available from the Federal Office for Customs and Border Security. For technical requirements and inspections, the Federal Roads Office ASTRA is an official source. General model information does not replace checking the actual documents.
3. Agree on scope and timing
Before a binding order, the offer should state vehicle, equipment, price, payment terms and process. Confirm whether delivery timing is agreed or estimated, and what remains outstanding.
The agreed scope determines Auto Bonau’s services. These may include sourcing, transport, import formalities, technical checks and registration preparation. This is not a blanket commitment for every origin or vehicle.
4. Agree on warranty and support
Check any manufacturer warranty against the documents. Additional cover must be expressly agreed; scope, duration and exclusions depend on the product and car.
Our warranty overview explains the key checks. For electric cars, also clarify traction-battery terms and documented battery condition.
Stock vehicle or sourcing request?
Before requesting an import, also compare our current vehicle stock. Compare listed cars directly by price, equipment and availability. For a specific sourcing request, contact us personally.
Frequently asked questions
Is an imported car always cheaper?
No. Compare the full offer with a similarly equipped car in Switzerland. Transport, charges, technical checks and extras can affect the comparison.
What does Auto Bonau need for an import enquiry?
Include make, model, drivetrain, equipment, budget and timing. If you have found a car, send the listing link and available vehicle details.
Can every vehicle be registered in Switzerland?
The actual version and documents must be checked. A brand or model name alone cannot establish registration eligibility.
Does an import automatically have a Swiss manufacturer warranty?
Check warranty terms against the vehicle documents. Confirm validity, start date, remaining term and contact person before a binding order.
How long does a vehicle import take?
Timing depends on availability, origin, documents, transport and required inspections. We agree a realistic timeframe for the specific vehicle.
