Help & frequently asked questions
Answers about buying, selling and your account on CARINDEX. Our support team answers any further questions.
Buy
How do I find the right vehicle?
Use the search and the filters by make, model, price, fuel and vehicle type. In the filter panel you can narrow down further by canton, mileage and additional criteria.
What does the “OBD verified” badge mean?
On listings with this badge, the vehicle data was read directly from the on-board electronics and validated by our partner TÜV NORD – an additional safeguard against tampering. Only selected listings carry the badge.
How do I contact the seller?
On every listing page you can write to the seller through the contact form – CARINDEX forwards your message and uses your e-mail address as the reply address. The phone number is shown on click, where provided. You then deal with the seller directly; CARINDEX is not a party to the contract.
Sell
How do I post a listing?
Click “Post a listing”, enter the vehicle data and save the draft. Once it has been reviewed, you can publish the listing.
How much does a listing cost?
A private listing costs CHF 1.– per day while it is active; billing is monthly via TWINT. You can deactivate the listing at any time, after which no further charges apply. Garages and dealers receive a custom flat-rate offer – contact us.
What does “Roadworthy until” mean?
The date indicates how long the last roadworthiness test (MFK) remains valid. You can enter it when creating the listing; it builds trust with prospective buyers.
Account & security
Do I need an account to search?
No. Searching, filtering and contacting the seller directly all work without an account. With a free account you keep your favourites across devices and subscribe to searches by e-mail.
How does CARINDEX protect my data?
We host in Switzerland or the EU and comply with the Swiss Data Protection Act (revDSG). You can find the details in our privacy policy.
