Motorhome export
Old, defective or unable to pass the MFK – motorhomes like these still have buyers abroad. We buy yours, collect it and take care of the deregistration.
A motorhome that has failed its MFK, has a tired engine or simply too many years behind it can be almost impossible to sell privately in Switzerland. Repairs often cost more than the vehicle is worth afterwards, and private buyers want something they can use this summer. Abroad the picture is different: labour is cheaper, the rules are not the same, and an older motorhome that no longer fits the Swiss market is still worth restoring and driving for years. That is why we buy these vehicles for export – anywhere in Switzerland, almost every make.
For you the process stays simple: describe the vehicle, receive a no-obligation offer, and we collect the motorhome free of charge and take over the deregistration with the road traffic office. One rule matters more than any other: never hand over a vehicle before the deregistration is settled. As long as it is registered in your name, you remain the liable keeper.

Frequently asked questions
Why would a dealer pay for a motorhome nobody in Switzerland wants?
Because a vehicle's value depends on the market it is sold in. In Switzerland an older or defective motorhome runs into repair costs and MFK requirements that make it unattractive. In many export countries labour is cheaper, demand for affordable motorhomes is strong, and a vehicle that counts as a restoration project here is a perfectly usable second-hand camper there. That difference is what makes the purchase worthwhile for us – and the sale effortless for you.
What must I be careful about before handing the vehicle over?
Never hand over a vehicle before the deregistration is arranged. In Switzerland the registered keeper stays responsible until the vehicle is either deregistered or registered to a new keeper, which is exactly why we take over the deregistration with the road traffic office. Have the vehicle registration document, number plates, keys and any service records ready; we go through everything else with you before collection.
How do you arrive at an offer, and what do you need from me?
Tell us what you have – make, model, body type, mileage, date of first registration, fuel, and your asking price if you have one – and send a few photos through the form or by e-mail. Pictures of all four sides, the living area, the dashboard showing the mileage, and anything that is damaged or no longer works are the most useful. We put together a non-binding offer on that basis, so the more complete your details, the closer the figure will be to what we can actually pay after seeing the vehicle.
