Buying a used Swedish car can also be full of surprises when it comes to the accessories that are rare or even unknown in our Poland. <\/span><b>Some models, such as Volvo, were equipped with a factory breathalyzer<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The driver must use it before each engine start &#8211; only a positive test result allows the engine to be started<\/span><b>. Due to the unique road conditions in Sweden, additional headlight washers and additional headlights installed on the front bumper are very popular<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The winter weather also requires other preventive measures, especially if your car is often parked outside the garage. <\/span><b>In Sweden, a huge group of cars is equipped with electric engine heaters<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; in the front bumper or in the grill there is a connection to an electric socket. Even after a whole night spent in the cold, the owner does not encounter any problems with starting &#8211; the engine oil gets warmed up, which facilitates the morning start-up. In the cabin you will also find parking heating or heated seats &#8211; all in the name of comfort.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><div class=\"info-frame-container info-frame-bulb info-iframe-border--yellow\">\n      <div class=\"info-frame-icon info-frame-bulb\"><\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"info-frame-header info-frame-header-green\">Information<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"info-frame-content\"><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another matter is the distances in Sweden.

Driving to the north of the country can effectively reduce the profitability of buying a car &#8211; in Sweden the price of fuel is one of the highest in Europe.

This will be a great help during the commission transaction. However, many private sellers are quite resistant to selling their car abroad to a foreigner &#8211; the case is completely different when it comes to companies which know the whole procedure perfectly well and will also help the buyer to complete the formalities.
