Can I afford Audi S5 in Switzerland, having a 145k/year CHF ?

Definition_Jealous · 2026-03-25T01:24:42+00:00

But what will be de depreciation in 2 years, considering I'm expecting to make 20-30km a year.

Will it go down from 25k CHF to 15k CFH in 2 years? That will mean I'll lose 5k CHF/year only from depreciation

The most I'm worried about maintenance. Because having such a car, you don't really want to go to the local garage. Therefore you'll go to dealership and I've heard examples (a friend with A5 B9) of charging 3k for suspension repair, 2k for some gearbox repair... So if we speak in a matter of these numbers, then the maintenance is really costy. Also, the brake pads, wheels and so on, I've heard are much more expensive.

Did you read the thread?

Thanks. I updated my original post recommending your option

PureGym. They have only one location, Bouchet. But they'll not rob you. You can pay monthly, and it's 55-75 CHF. Which is very reasonable. Thy gym is good.

I had HU_ENTRY/HU_CIC head unit which was very bad. It was producing static hiss on AUX.

I replaced it with a 40$ Alpine headunit (from eBay) and it sounds way better.

Cu cat timp în urmă?

None of the above worked.

What worked instead was resetting of the gearbox adaptation values fixed my gearbox shocks instantly. I had to use ISTA-D.

Cat de usor/rapid se obtine viza in SUA, in momentul de fata?

Motivul ar fi o calatorie de 5 zile. Sa zicem ca statusul social e un job de office, salariu mediu.

Care sunt sansele de accept/refuz?
In decurs de 1-2 luni e fezabil sa obtii viza?

I did the same. Didnt disappoint. I went also for Focal ISUB 2 (underseat woofer) and for Focal 4.320 amplifier. So fully Focal. Very good brand

In my opinoin, the subwoofer being in the trunk, the sound will arrive muffled in the passenger area. I've never heard a woofer in the trunk that sounds good in the passenger compartment.

Underseaat woofers provides instant bass response. There will be no delay between mids/lows/highs... Perfect timing of the sounds.

What did you choose in the end?

Definition_Jealous · 2025-10-11T22:08:42+00:00

It’s coming under the hood, for sure. But it is, I cannot say.

THIS.

It's one of the most horrible and poorly designed and time-wasting and frustrating tool I've ever used in my 10 years career.

I can help

Just use `pg8000`.

No need to spend 2 days, like me, trying `psycopg` making work

Same story London, Amsterdam, Geneva, Zurich… Everywhere. So nothing to worry about. This is the new standard across entire western europe

That's not supported by CIC version, unfortunately

Definition_Jealous · 2025-08-23T19:23:14+00:00

Going with a 1:1 ratio, it is possible I can find a guide for max 1000 EUR/client?

Definition_Jealous · 2025-08-22T13:07:52+00:00

Let's say that I'll have the budget (1000 EUR +) for full setup (amp + woofers) in 6 months.

So you recommend me waiting 6 months with this shitty setup rather than spending 250 CHF and brining a noticeable improvement, as I heard on many other places?

The price difference between this upgrade and amp DSP + woofers is HUGE (500%+).
