A car dealer can be a cause of private ads on Blocket

I'm on the hunt for a cheap, used car. The price range between $ 10,000 and 20,000 dollars. The annonssidan the Block, there is a considerable amount of classic cars for sale in Stockholm, sweden. Right or wrong, but I have chosen to narrow down the selection. Bilfirmorna, about 40 per cent of the supply is removed, because the handelsvinsten that a company needs to do to be a disproportionately large part of the price, in this price segment. The remaining vehicles are the ones that are being sold by private individuals. But the amount of people, these sellers?

The car is a Seat Ibiza. The registration number is visible in the pictures, and through the registration office, I can quickly get to be the seller has owned the car for a month, and during that time have already been set for the car. According to him, the car is extremely cheap to own and run”. How do you know it? He has reasonably't even have to run out the first tank before the car was announced. The seller writes that he has bought a bigger car and hence selling the old one. The need may come suddenly.

this is A small city car that is a perfect fit. Pursuant to the registration office, the seller has owned the car for two weeks. ”I bought it from a friend,” he says, and when I open it up, without having to go into the detail of why, he has only been out of the car in the 14-day period.

It continued on in the same way. Out of the 40 cars that can be found in the search to nine vehicles and 22 percent – owned by the sellers for less than a month's time. Changing the car is not a criminal act, not the least of car nuts sweden the owner is maintaining a fast pace in order to keep up with everything they are interested in. However, the number of korttidsägare surprise.

this, in itself, is not a car for the worse. However, the seller has owned the car for just a month, often have no knowledge of it, he, or she, does not know when it is serviced later, or what has been the historical one. Hidden defects are always a risk, the seller needs to make a profit, and have apparently been able to buy it cheaper, perhaps, for good reason, he or she will not tell us.

At USF, Motorbranschens association, argues that there are hidden economic activity, which in the end is the customer.

" USF is behind the sound, and a level playing field where the customer can feel safe and confident in their business, that reflects the opposite of that. We have raised the issue with some of the parties involved, but the greater the response. However, I would like to point out that our position is not aimed towards the serious minded individuals who want to sell their car privately, with the possibility, of course, remain in place, but that's just targeted at people who want to trade in a car, but do it in a less secure way, " says Klaus Silfvenius, bilhandelsansvarig at USF.

the purchase of a privatbilhandlare compared to a real car dealer?

in All, the level of consumer protection, among other things, the ability to claim a refund if it does not match what the seller stated and in the event of failure of the product, " says Klaus Silfvenius.

it Is illegal to trade wide?

" I have no information on the matter. However, in my opinion, is the same as the one you suggest, that these rapid changes in ownership is likely to be a massive free-for-car-dealing, " says Klaus Silfvenius.

funded by the USF to be tested in all of the ads prior to publication. When they 1.969 classifieds ads in 2019, and 363 were private ads. Of those stopped, of 22 ads solely on the basis that the advertiser was a company.

" These are the cars that often has a lot of years and miles on the back of the neck, this has happened quite a lot in the way, and we reject them for other reasons. I suppose, also, that the merchants who claim to be individuals are also prone to lying about other things in the ad, " said Martin Fransson, the managing director of Wayke.

Martin Fransson also believe that it is possible to car dealers to register vehicles on private individuals, despite the fact that it is actually a company that owns and is selling the car.

" We can't get to the cheaters full at the moment. However, for many others, the Swedish Tax agency, for example, would be interested in putting a stop to it, " said Martin Around.

What are you saying, then, those responsible on the Block.

the sellers are really as the car dealers?

" We don't know that many people have the car for a very short period of time. In particular, it is common further north in the country, where it is more of a hobby, and switching to a car that is a lot of fun. It follows, of course, also the level of prices, high-priced automobiles aren't as frequent. There are also seasonal. Many people have access to a car during the summer, and sell it, " says presschefen Tero Marjamäki.

"We do have a phone number and an identity of the sellers, and we have a good control of the advertisers," says Tero Marjamäki.

the Information is that they are of short duration, the owners provide is often inadequate. Those who have had their car for a long time tells me more what are the repairs that have been made over the last couple of years. The owner, who has owned the car for a couple of weeks to do the car dealerships, they write a list of your equipment. What is the most interesting thing about this car is older than 15 years old, when it hangs, bilvärdet of the state, not the equipment.

" the Block has made it possible for the sellers to enter their registration number. Then, we pick up more information from the vehicle register the car. The date of the first registration,, power, capacity, and much, much more. Also, the miltalet, which is specified based on the information in the most recent survey, " says Tero Marjamäki.

However, the date of the last change of ownership is indicated however, is not.

" no, No, for the moment, we are not the most recent transfer of ownership. However, we will take a closer look at it and will come back if and when it can be done, " says Tero Marjamäki.

nor is the registration number visible. It is up to the advertiser to decide if there is to be seen. Why is it so?
