This is how importing cars from Sweden works
Do you know what to look out for when importing cars from Sweden?
Here you will find some of the factors that affect the attractiveness of repatriating cars from Sweden.
It is no news that a shortage of brand new cars in the car industry is a catalyst for the demand for used cars to continue to rise. Therefore, many car dealers have started importing more cars from abroad. When people in the industry talk about imported cars to Denmark, Germany is often the first thing that comes to mind. But there are actually several advantages to bringing cars home from Sweden.
The difference between Sweden and Germany
Although the range of used cars in Sweden is smaller than in Germany, the Swedish used car market is still larger than the Danish one. Most Swedish exporters are usually good at providing information on e.g. chassis number on the cars, which makes it easier to look up the car’s data. Compared to the German market, there is a smaller language barrier, and you can quite often find that transport costs from Sweden to Denmark are cheaper than the costs from Germany to Denmark.
The Swedish exchange rate
When you have to import a car home from Sweden, it can be crucial to keep an eye on the exchange rate of the Swedish krone if the car is to be procured at the best possible price. As the Swedish crown is currently at a low level, this means that the chances are good to make a good deal.
Stone types and tire types
If you are used to importing cars home from Germany, you should be aware that there may be different standards regarding the maintenance of cars in Sweden. It is e.g. not unusual for the Swedish cars to have paint damage from rockfalls.
In Sweden, many of the cars are equipped with studded tires due to the climatic conditions in the country. In order for the imported car to pass a vehicle inspection in Denmark, you must remember that you yourself are responsible for changing the tires so that they are approved according to the rules in Denmark.
Here you will find the cars
Just as many typically use mobile.de to find German import cars, there are also several platforms for finding Swedish import cars. You can e.g. use the platform Bytbil.com, where you can find various Swedish import cars, and all the cars on this page are tax-free. You also have the option of finding cars for import on either Blocket.se or Bilweb.se.
