Hey #SwissBubble - I have a really dumb question, but I need to get this resolved.
It's been hanging over my head since a couple of years in to the pandemic, and I've finally decided that I must do something about it.
I have a car. It's an old Hyundai i10 that no one here in Switzerland is likely to buy. It probably does not run right now because it's been sitting in a parking space in a garage for two years without being moved.
It is not registered in Switzerland. The title is German, but I never registered it here, because it would have required going out during lockdown etc.
So basically, even if it ran, it couldn't be legally driven, as it would have to be repaired to the correct state to pass inspection.
I've found I just don't need a car.
And so I'm really not willing to poke around to find someone who will tow the car from its underground garage parking space and then not screw me making it inspection-ready. Especially since I don't understand much Swiss German, and mechanics etc do like to take advantage of that.
I KNOW *VERY LITTLE* ABOUT CARS.
What I do know is that I need to get rid of this car. The best case is that I can sell it to someone for spare parts, but I just don't have the communications wherewithall to do that.
Does anyone, ANYONE, know what the best thing to do in this situation is? Who to contact? What to look out for?
My ADHD/executive function problems/social anxiety are screwing me here, but I really want to get rid of this thing and just buy a nice cargo e-bike.
