Changing a car - we guide you to the car change

You often remember your first car a little differently. Becoming a car owner actually feels special. But then your needs or preferences change and you end up deciding to change cars. What should you consider when changing cars? We guide you through the process.

On average, in Sweden we choose to change cars every three years. In many cases, it is a matter of changing needs, but the experienced car owner also changes cars because they are aware of the car's depreciation. Of course, it can be worthwhile to change before the car has gone too far or become too old, depending on what kind of car you want to change to, of course.

Change car – for what?

What is important when you trade in your car is that you carefully think through what qualities and features you see that your new car needs to have. Ask yourself the question: Why are you trading in your car? Is it too small, too expensive, uses too much fuel, not adapted to your new needs, etc. And what type of car do you want to trade in? Should you trade in the same model, a different brand or perhaps a car that runs on electricity instead of diesel or gasoline? Of course, we at Kvdbil can help you make these decisions, for example, our car guide can be helpful on the way to what type of car you should trade in.

How do you want to change cars?

Changing your car can mean that you trade in your current car for a new one. Trading in your car means that you sell and buy from the same company, you can almost see it as paying for your car purchase in whole or in part through a car sale. But if you find a car you want to buy from a car dealer who does not accept trade-ins of your old car, it could be because that brand is not sold in that particular car dealership, you can trade in your car by selling it to us at Kvdbil . We sell all car brands and models and our many years of experience and broad customer base help ensure that you get the right price for your car.

We exchange your car

At Kvdbil you can choose to trade in your car by buying a car and then choosing to sell your old one. If you want to pick up your new one at the same time as you drop off your old car at one of our facilities, that's of course fine, or why not do it at home in the garage driveway? We give you who are going to trade in the car the opportunity to both have your old car picked up and the new car delivered all the way to your door, or the garage driveway.

Is it possible to trade in a car with a loan?

The vast majority of people choose to take out a car loan to finance a car purchase. And when you then want to change cars, the loan may not be fully paid off. Is it possible to trade in a car with a loan? Yes, of course. All you need to do is notify the remaining debt at the car sale when you are going to change cars.

Checklist: Trade in your car – what you should keep in mind

• Think through your needs, why do you want to change car and for what?

• Make a budget. What can you afford to change to? Remember to not only look at the purchase price of your new car when changing cars, but also calculate the car's insurance, vehicle tax, fuel costs, etc.

• Consider your options. It may seem convenient to drop off your old car and pick up your new car at the same time when you're trading in a new car, but don't let convenience outweigh getting the right price for your car. Make sure you know the value of your car before you start negotiating the selling price of the car you're trading in from.
