I think 650 per month for a car and 100k per year is pathetic and I think you should tell them to stick their job where the sun don`t shine! Hope it helps

Also depends on who it is leased by - and also how much the balloon payment is.
I have higher monthly payments to have a lower final payment. If the event I want to exit the lease I am unlikely to ever have negative equity.

| | Re: CHF 650 per month car allowance | Quote: | |  | | | LOL I really wonder where you people are leasing your cars from!! eg our Swift costs less then 300 chf per month, and our brand new cooper S loaded with a few toys costs less then 400 per month (swift is 4 years, mini is 3 years lease)
if your really paying 900 chf per month for an a3 then someone is seriously taking the pee out of your company. | | | | | Donīt know, insurance included, all services, repairs and petrol?

I do not have idea about how leasing works...but I just have got a A3 with all the extras I choose from my company and I know I have a maximum of 160CHF per month for LEASING.
Until I recieved the car I was getting 1000CHF monthly as a car allowance.

| | Re: CHF 650 per month car allowance | Quote: | |  | | | Hi all,
I am really new to Swiss. I feel like my company is offering me too low car allowance and salary. They offered me arround CHF 650 per month Net. I checked arround, and I feel like this is too low. What car can you get for 650 PM? What insuarance could cost?
Is 100K Net per year adequate for a managerial position, multinational co?
Thanks in advance! | | | | | You can get a fully loaded Mini Cooper. What more could you possibly want? | Quote: | |  | | | LOL I really wonder where you people are leasing your cars from!! eg our Swift costs less then 300 chf per month, and our brand new cooper S loaded with a few toys costs less then 400 per month (swift is 4 years, mini is 3 years lease)
if your really paying 900 chf per month for an a3 then someone is seriously taking the pee out of your company. | | | | | We bought outright my fully loaded Mini Cooper for around CHF600 a month. Then when I sold it we got around CHF300 a month back.
ETA: sorry to clarify, I should say we leased to CHF0 residual value as the lease interest rate was better than the loan rate. Also when I say we got CHF300 back when we sold I mean the payment we got for selling divided by the months of the lease it was a bit more than CHF300 per month. So it cost us about CHF300 a month in the end. (whew!)

I know that my husband has a lease for company car paying CHF550, Audi A4 and I think the lease is for 3 years. We've had company cars for many years and we do like the idea of not paying for any servicing, maintenance, insurance, road tax, petrol....just a bit of extra tax I suppose, but no stress. I don't think I would ever buy my own car for the cost reasons quoted, particularly in CH. We have also a vintage sports car but that's a differen category, that is actually adding value year by year!

(The license and storage costs alone would more than offset any presumed savings.) |
