Hello all!
I recently came into Switzerland, I am here for 1 month only; So I have no idea regarding the issues of buying & registering a car here.
Recently I decided to buy a car

. I found an interesting for me variant, and now there are some misunderstandings regarding the process in general. I buy the car of a private person, which lives in different town. Since I don't have yet the insurance, I would like to bring the car right to the place where I live, pay for it, take the documents and do the plates myself when I will have the documents from my insurance company. Is this variant possible?
As I can understand from the posts here, if you have a car registration documents, it means that the car is yours. So, once I pay money to the guy, he gives me the registration card of a car - the car is mine?! Even if there is his name in the car registration document?! Am I able to recieve the plates having this document?
P.S. The car passed expirtise this year, so there is not need to make a new exterptise.
Thank you very much for any information!
