Buying a second hand card in Switzlernad

[racletteforall]

Hello all,

I'm planning to buy a second hand car in Switzerland but I'm quite lost as I don't know much about cars and I don't have any trustworthy mechanic in Switzerland.

Just for reference I'm looking for asian brands like Toyota, Honda, Mazda, Suzuki, Mitsubishi, etc. as my biggest priority is reliability, safety and low consumption.

Is there any recommendation you can share? Or maybe someone who could give me a hand around Zug? I'm a bit afraid of being scammed or making bad decision.

Thank you in advance.

Is there any recommendation you can share?

I am far from an expert myself. I don't know much about cars.

If you don't know that much about cars, I would see two options:
* Only buy from a large garage and especially not from a private person.
* Try to go to the garage with a friend.
