Negotiation & inspection checklist

Suggested opening offer

95,000–102,000 SEK

Can you show Transportstyrelsen's "Fordonets skulder" (vehicle debt) service, or otherwise confirm there is no outstanding vehicle tax, congestion charge, or parking-fine debt tied to this vehicle? Unpaid vehicle debt transfers to the new owner in Sweden, not the previous one, and can lead to Kronofogden seizing the car.
Please provide the insurance claim number, the authorised‑workshop repair invoice and any pre/post photos for the roundabout impact repair.
Has the timing belt (kamrem) ever been replaced? If yes, show invoice and date; if no, can you get a current quote to replace it before sale?
Who performed the mjukvaruoptimering (chip)? Provide installer name, dyno printout and written confirmation that no warranty/engine-related repairs were withheld.
Please upload full service history receipts (all services) and the recent workshop invoice for the MAF cable + oil change (the ad mentions 8,295 kr).
What is the car's full registration number and confirm the VIN on the car matches your paperwork so I can run a registry/recall check?
How long have you owned the car and how many previous owners are there (owner history)?

Never pay a deposit or the full price before you've seen and test-driven the car in person — be wary of pressure to decide immediately ("today only" pricing), or a seller who avoids meeting or an independent inspection.
Pay by bank transfer or Swish, never cash to someone you haven't met or verified, and complete the registered ownership transfer (ägarbyte) digitally at handover rather than leaving it for later.
Bring a mechanic and request to see the timing‑belt area (service sticker/invoice) or a quote to replace it before purchase.
Check rear brake pad thickness and obtain a written quote for pads (and discs if needed).
OBD scan during test drive to reveal any stored fault codes and verify the MAF/Lambda/EGR status given the chip‑tuning.
Inspect the repaired side area in person and review the authorised workshop invoice and photos for the insurance repair.
Test drive at varied speeds to check turbo response, smoke on acceleration, and gearbox behaviour.
Verify VIN on chassis with seller paperwork and run manufacturer's recall lookup for completed campaigns.
Check suspension for play/noise and look for oil leaks and coolant condition under the engine.
