The official price at the garage is 153,000 CHF. If you are not a Swiss resident, you do not have to pay the 7.5% VAT. A discount can often be negotiated if you pay in cash. We have obtained discounts for our clients of up to 7% off the base price.

The cost of yearly mandatory maintenance is approximately 1,000 CHF for a Jaguar.

Insurance

For this model, you can negotiate your insurance premium according to the safety and security features fitted for your car (anti-theft device, garage with surveillance system, etc.) Here are the prices indicative of insurance premiums based on a 500-CHF deductible:

We also suggest that you take out an insurance policy to cover your passengers in the case of an accident for approximately 120 CHF per year, as well free legal protection in the case of dispute for approximately 100 CHF per year.

Registering a vehicle You will first have to pay the amount of 150 CHF to obtain your license plates. Then you will pay an annual cantonal tax calculated on a pro rata basis on your vehicle's engine capacity. For a Jaguar Daimler V8, this tax comes to 581 CHF.

Gas Gas in Switzerland is less taxed than in neighboring Italy or France. Many people who live near the border of these countries come to Switzerland to fill their tanks. Gas prices follow fluctuations in crude oil prices, but generally remain in the 1.10 to 1.40 CHF/liter range.

Highways There are no tolls in Switzerland, but each year you must purchase a 40-franc road tax disk (like a license tag), which authorizes you to drive on the highways.

Parking In the downtown areas of major Swiss cities, there is generally a charge for parking (1.50 CHF/hour). An hour of underground parking in Geneva costs 2 CHF. But careful! Parking tickets can quickly put a hole in your pocketbook: a 40-franc fine for going over the time limit and a 120-franc fine for unauthorized parking!
