I am currently working in Switzerland on a 3-month contract (L Permit), and I really need a car in the area where I am staying (Thurgau region). Since you never know what might happen, I need to be prepared in case my contract isn’t renewed, and having a car would open up many job opportunities for me. My budget is tight—less than 3,000 CHF—as I am just starting out in Switzerland. After analyzing a bit how things work here in terms of insurance, taxes and associated cost, I’ve seen that, for the time being while I make progress, I could buy something small: a Renault Clio 1.2, a Corsa 1.4, or a Ford Fiesta 1.4. All petrol. No turbo. A simple car, but one that won’t fall short. If you have other better car models to suggest, I would appreciate it. And I am looking for something between 2008 and 2014. Not too old, not too new as it fits my budget. I would appreciate any advice, tips, or important paperwork I should keep in mind. This is the first time I would be buying a car on my own, without any help. submitted by /u/MrDubsstep
