Buy used car from car dealer

Buying a used car from a car dealer gives you that nice security. If you buy a car from us at Kvdbil, insurance is included and for the cars that are sold at a fixed price, a guarantee is also included. And you as a consumer are protected by the Consumer Purchase Act, which, for example, gives you the right to complain for three years. The Consumer Purchase Act gives you as a buyer stronger protection compared to the Purchase Act that applies when you buy from a private person.

Buy a car privately

If you are going to buy a car privately, i.e. from a private person, there is sometimes the possibility of a "friend's price". However, the protection for you as a buyer is worse, sometimes it can be uncertain who will be responsible if any faults with the car are found after the purchase.

Buy a car without a cash deposit?

To finance their car purchase, many people take out a car loan. A car loan can be taken out both with or without residual value and you can sometimes choose how large a cash investment you choose to have. Buying a car and taking out a car loan without a cash deposit is not possible, it must always be at least 20 percent of the car's price. On the other hand, it is possible to take out a car loan with residual value and thus reduce the size of the loan, which leads to both a smaller cash investment and a lower monthly cost.
