Good afternoon.

I am doing some research on car options before I make the move to Zurich later this year.

Is there a resource of auto-themed message board that lists (at least some) residuals used in leases? Fairly easy to find for the US, but my lack of German makes my Google searches fairly fruitless.

Additionally, how do lease rates (finance charge) on used cars (say a used Audi S5) compare to lease rates on the same car, but new?

And are used car leases commonly offered at garages? Used car leases are very rarely offered by dealerships in the USA, from what I understand.

Thank you

hello there,

yes, used cars with leasing option is quite common in Switzerland since the used car conditions (motor, paint, interior etc) are one of the best in Europe. They managed to keep it new even after many years..

I think it starts around 50 kCHF here in CH for a 3 years old one, and for that you may pay around 600- 700 CHF per month
