Schwacke list – a short explanation

The schwacke list bears the name of its inventor, the car dealer hanns W. Schwacke, who in 1957 came up with the idea of valuing used cars on the basis of list comparisons. Originally, this form of car valuation comes from the USA. If the first evaluation list included only two opel models on one page, today there are more than 3.000 different models of numerous car manufacturers are rated in this list. the current valuation list is published by the hessian company eurotax schwacke gmbh in maintal. it is considered the industry standard in germany for determining the residual value of used cars. The basis for the evaluation of the residual value are:

1. Vehicle type 2. Year of construction 3. Equipment 4. Mileage

Based on this data, we calculate an approximate residual value for the used car, which is recognized in many regions of germany. There are now other ways to determine the residual value of used cars that go into more detail about specific details.

Can you value a car with a few online details?

On the basis of the information provided in the first paragraph, it is possible to determine an initial rough estimate for a possible purchase price. This calculation does not take into account many of the individual characteristics of each car. For example, the value of a vehicle can be significantly increased by appropriate special equipment or retrofitted accessories. On the other hand, defects due to damage or increased wear and tear can cause the value of the vehicle to fall significantly below the average value determined.

For each individual case, the car residual value assessment based on the weak list is only an orientation value. It should be noted that an online car valuation via the schwacke valuation portal is subject to a fee. After entering the relevant vehicle data is a fee of EUR 7.90 due. Only after these costs have been accepted, the value of the vehicle will be displayed.

How does the schwacke list work??

The system of eurotax-schwacke offers the user a comparison of about 30 different car prices.data pool comprising 000 vehicle data. Computer-aided comparison calculators of companies that actually deal with the purchase of used cars today have a database of sometimes more than one million completed car purchases. Another problem of eurotax-schwacke is that only vehicles that have been registered in the last 12 years can find their way into the used car valuation. What does the car seller who wants to sell a used VW golf 2002 do??

For whom is the schwacke list suitable?

The valuation according to eurotax-schwacke is probably more suitable for commercial entrepreneurs who have a large fleet of vehicles. In these cases, you can estimate your entire fleet of similar vehicles with a single vehicle valuation at a price of EUR 7.90, and thus determine an average value with a price indicator. In commercial operations, the vehicles are usually already depreciated for tax purposes, so that the entrepreneur can also live well with an approximate used car price.

For the private individual who wants to achieve the highest price for his used car, eurotax-schwacke can only be a price indicator. Here it is necessary that the special equipment and individual features of the vehicle are also taken into account when determining the price.

Live vehicle valuation vs. Schwackelist

These are the common features of both types of vehicle valuation: vehicle type, year of manufacture, equipment, mileage. The following details make the difference:

1. Live vehicle valuation

Free live vehicle valuation
Fixed purchase offer at residual value
No registration necessary
Personal contact on the phone for vehicle valuation

No purchase offer, only price determination
Registration via portal (also because of costs)
Online valuation only, without a telephone contact
No consideration of additional special equipment
No personal contact who can take special features into account

A traffic control escalates in neukolln: a car driver flees from the police. He rams cars and a bus, shots are fired. What’s behind it?

After a spectacular chase in neukolln, in which police officers shot twice at a fleeing car, it turned out that the 32-year-old driver, who is a Serbian, was wanted on four warrants. Among other things, the warrants were for drug-related offenses, and the man was also to be deported.

The driver is also known to the police – for burglary, theft, fraud, resistance to law enforcement officers and extortion. According to the police, he has no fixed abode.

The BMW in which the man was trying to evade a traffic check had been sold in greifswald at the beginning of may. It is unclear whether the car belongs to the Serbian man. The car was therefore secured for the time being.

Investigators also found a forged passport in the car. On friday afternoon, there were also indications of a higher amount of cash that was supposed to have been found in the car – the tagesspiegel had also reported on it. These reports were now rejected by the police as speculation. Investigators have not yet been able to establish a connection to organized crime.

During the police check, he suddenly accelerated

The chase took place on Thursday afternoon in the neukollner hermannstrasse. The driver tried to evade a traffic control in hermannstrasse on the bridge over the S-bahn. At first he let himself be guided into the checkpoint and also stopped briefly. But then he suddenly drove straight at the emergency services and fled, it was said.

According to the police, the man caused a traffic accident at the intersection of Hermannstrasse and Siegfriedstrasse during his getaway. In silbersteinstrabe he then had to stop because of a red light. Finally, he had tried to turn between two vehicles, damaging them in the process.

Two shots in the hood

As can also be seen on videos, a police officer fired two shots at the vehicle in this situation – into the hood of the car. The driver did not let this stop him and tried to flee in the direction of Hermannstrabe.

In the process, the 32-year-old drove the car into other vehicles, including a BVG bus. A video posted on twitter by a resident shows the man climbing out of the passenger door. Two police officers in warning vests and three other men followed the man, who now fled on foot.

A 50-year-old passer-by then seized the Serb at the intersection of silbersteinstrasse and walterstrasse and brought him to the ground, the police said. The police finally arrested the 32-year-old. The passerby suffered minor injuries to the knee and elbow due to his intervention.

As the police explained, the Serbian was injured in the collision with the other cars, but outpatient treatment at the hospital was sufficient, they said. The police are now investigating several charges, including dangerous interference with road traffic and hit-and-run driving. Officers’ use of firearms also under standard investigation.

where do martens live?

Whenever you read about massive marten damage in the press, the culprits are normally stone marten (martes foina). The small predator from the family of the real martens is the only one of its kind that prefers to stay in the attic the bacon belt of man which is why it is also called a house marten. Most of his fellow species, such as the pine marten (martes martes) are loners and forest dwellers, which do not go near people.

Martens are nocturnal, very flexible in their food intake, and thanks to their excellent climbing skills everywhere, where a cozy home near a food source (for example, litter garbage cans) can be set up. their favorite places to settle are attics, garages, sheds, barns and, much to people’s annoyance, cars.

Recognize marten infestation or marten plague

While the marten in the car is normally protected by characteristic bite marks it can take quite a while before you notice the marten in the attic, the garage or the shed. If you suspect a marten infestation, you should check for following signs respect:

Marten excrement is about as thick as a finger and twisted at the end.
Territory markings show themselves in the form of soiling and unpleasant odors, as the martens use their anal glands as well as urine and excrement for this purpose.
bite damage on electrical cables indicate marten infestation and in the worst case can cause house fires.
Scratch marks on trees, beams and rain pipes can indicate a marten infestation.
stone martens often leave prey remains such as bird feathers and eggshells, but also whole carcasses of birds or small mammals such as mice back.

Who pays for marten damage?

Damage caused by marten bites on the car is normally due to fully and partially comprehensive insurance covered. However, insurance coverage only applies to the direct damage and not to possible consequential damage. This means that destroyed components are replaced, but the insurance does not pay if nibbled hoses and cables cause engine damage or the catalytic converter overheats, for example. Since this consequential damage can mean an enormous financial outlay on your own part, it is important to invest early in the marten defense to invest. Prevention is better than cure!

marten damage to the house can also be very expensive, as it is often necessary to open and clean hard-to-reach areas in order to remove it. Corresponding damage is not covered by the homeowner’s insurance, but is the responsibility of the homeowners insurance to report. But this only pays if damage from animal bites is part of the insurance policy. It is therefore worthwhile, at times a insurance advisor to visit.

Transmitted marten diseases?

martens, like all wild animals, can suffer from a number of diseases. The most common infections are with rabies, distemper or the aujeszky’s disease, also called pseudo rage. Canine distemper and pseudo rabies are transmissible to dogs and are usually fatal in unvaccinated animals. Not only dogs but also humans can be infected with rabies if they are bitten by a dog infected marten bitten or be scratched. Rabies, unless the person in question has been vaccinated, is still common today deadly. Fortunately, there have been no more infections with rabies in austria since 2004.

marten repellent on the car – what really helps?

Martens go to cars because these have a optimal place of retreat show. They are dry, warm and offer the marten safety from natural enemies such as foxes, cats and various birds of prey. The unfortunate vehicle owner often only finds out about the bite marks to ignition cables, brake, fuel and hydraulic lines from the blind passenger in the engine compartment.

Why do martens bite through car cables??

There is only one reason why the marten makes a mess of car cables: territorial behavior! Martens launch biting attacks on ignition cables, brake, fuel and hydraulic lines when they detect the scent of a rival and want to mark their territory. For this reason, cars are particularly at risk, which are frequently used between two different locations commute (for example, home and the parking lot at work) and are freely accessible at both locations. If two pine martens have chosen the same vehicle, the territorial fights begin. Especially aggressive territorial behavior show the furry pests in the period from march/april to late summer.

What to do against the marten on the car? Marderschreck& co

What many people don’t know: even the best defense measures are useless if your car already serves or has served as a marten’s refuge. As soon as an animal has left its scent mark on your car, other martens will follow. For this reason, even the slightest suspicion of marten infestation (e.g. food remains or paw prints on the engine hood) should lead to an inspection professional engine washing should be carried out. Only when all scent marks completely removed once the engine has been cleaned and other martens no longer see any reason to attack, the following defensive measures can be used successfully. You should always have the engine washed by a professional car workshop have done.

marten defense by ultrasound

stone martens have exceptionally good hearing with wide frequency range. For this reason, as a defense measure are often used ultrasonic devices used. To a distance of 20 to 30 cm the sound pressure becomes so great that it is unpleasant or even painful for the animals and they run away. However, since obstacles block the sound, you must ensure during installation that the ultrasound is not slowed down by the surfaces in the engine compartment, but is reflected and thus conducted to the outside.

Drive martens away by electric shock

the marten defense by electric shock works after the pasture fence principle: contact plates are placed in the engine compartment, which are charged by a high-voltage generator. As soon as the marten comes into contact with the plates, it receives a electric shock, which, however, does not damage him in the long run. High-voltage devices have proven to be effective primarily because, in the case of animals no habituation effect entry: once a marten has been electrocuted, it will not normally approach the car a second time.

currentless marten repellent: corrugated hose, wire mesh& NEEDLOCK

In addition to marten repellent with electricity and ultrasound, you can also opt for mechanical marten repellent. to keep martens away from your car cables, you can spray them for example with encase corrugated hose. These are corrugated plastic tubes, which are pulled over the hoses. In the trade you get the tubes as so-called "marten protection hoses", which are already slotted for easier installation. Also wire mesh under the engine compartment has proven to be effective, as martens usually avoid it. However, with the time a habituation effect can occur here.

Another variant of mechanical marten repellent is the use of movable plastic plates spiked with needles, so-called marten traps needle barriers. These are fixed in the engine compartment and drive the animals away by the (sometimes somewhat painful) contact with the needles.

marten repellent in the house – how to drive away martens?

Since stone martens are nocturnal and hide well during the day, an infestation of martens in the house often goes unnoticed at first. A typical sign of the unwanted visitor is nocturnal rumbling from the attic. If a marten has chosen your attic as a hiding place, it is important to act quickly. The furry predator digs through the roof insulation and destroys the underlayment in the process. Thereby the insulation effect is lost and warm air escapes to the outside. This drives away not only the heating costs in the height, but also favors the mildew.

How does the marten get into the house??

There is virtually no house that would be safe from a marten invasion. The furry pests can climb extremely well, can jump over two meters and even climb up a rough plastered house wall completely without any aids. Openings of seven or eight centimeters are quite sufficient to get into the attic to reach. And if the marten can’t find an opening, it simply pushes up a roof tile and gains access itself in this way.

Are you allowed to trap martens? marten trap& co

stone martens are not under species or nature protection, but in austria they are subject to the HUNTING LAW. This means that you may only kill a marten if you have a hunting license – and even then only in the respective hunting season. The poison of martens is basically forbidden. To drive the marten away from your attic, however, you can use so-called marten traps. These are live traps that are designed so that you can later release the animal elsewhere. Popular bait for marten traps are raw eggs, dried fruit or cat food. To prevent the animal from suffering unnecessarily, live traps must be checked several times a day.

Home remedies against martens: what really helps?

Ultrasound is not only suitable for repelling martens in cars. However, for a marten infestation in the house you need correspondingly high-quality devices with over 100 db(C) sound pressure level, aimed directly at nesting areas and entrance holes. The only problem is that the animals are permanently deafened by this extreme noise exposure, which of course makes the ultrasound ineffective. In addition LONG TERM for pets and humans not yet sufficiently researched.

In many guidebooks, one also reads about home remedies against martens. These include, for example, dog hair, dog urine, toilets and cotton cloths soaked in spirit. these home remedies are said to drive away the marten by their odor. However, the effectiveness of these measures is controversial:

How the professional drives away the marten?

Since commercially available products such as marten deterrents and marten scares often do not bring the desired success, and the use of live traps is anything but promising, many affected people call a marten exterminator pest control professional to help. Professional pest controllers know exactly when martens can be trapped and killed, and when it is safe to do so. During this period (march to october), they apply special deterrents that either act mechanically or drive the marten away by means of smell and/or taste.

Once the professional is sure that there are no more adult martens or young animals in your house, he seals the entry points and secures all risk areas. In this way, a new marten is prevented from taking the place of the frightened animal.
