If you are dreaming about buying a new car, but you don’t really feel like you can afford a brand new model, you should consider looking at the market for used cars.

There are a ton of cars to choose from and it can be just as hard picking a used car as it is buying a new one.

So before you decide what car you want to purchase, it is important to know how much money you have to spend and to consider what needs and demands you have for the car you want to drive around in.

If it is the first time you are seeking to buy a used car, there are also a few things you need to be aware of. This will ensure that you end up with a decent car without overpaying.

If you continue reading below, we will reveal three things you need to be aware of when acquiring a used car.


Where to buy the car?
First of all, you must face the potentially difficult decision of where to buy the used car. You can obtain it at a car dealership or from a private person. You can also check out Biltorvetthe biggest car portal for newer used cars. Here you will gain an excellent overview of the current car market, which will make deciding where to buy the car a bit easier. If you purchase the car from a private seller, the price will most likely be a bit lower than if you buy the car from a dealership. 

Make sure to get a used car test
If you buy the car from a private seller, it’s extra important that you make sure to thoroughly research the car’s condition beforehand. You can do this by seeing the car through a car test to ensure the car functions as it should. This way you can avoid any unexpected expenses.

Take the car for a test drive
We recommend you to take the car for several test drives before you decide to buy it. When sitting behind the wheel, you get a much better feeling of the car’s condition and can also make sure to check if all the equipment is working properly. There are a lot of things you need to check when you take the car for a test drive, but the more thorough you are, the bigger are the chances for you to get a decent car.

A survey carried out by Megafon for TV2 has found that 71 percent of parents have handed over children to daycare in spite of them being sick.

Moreover, 21 percent of those surveyed admitted to medicating their kids with paracetamol, such as Panodil, before sending them to school.

The FOLA parents’ organisation is shocked by the findings.

“I think it is absolutely crazy. It simply cannot be that a child goes to school sick and plays with lots of other children. Then we are faced with the fact that they will infect the whole institution,” said FOLA chair Signe Nielsen.

Pill pushers
At the Børnehuset daycare institution in Silkeborg a meeting was called where parents were implored not to bring their sick children to school.

At Børnehuset there are fears that parents prefer to pack their kids off with a pill without informing teachers.

“We occasionally have children who that they have had a pill for breakfast,” said headteacher Susanne Bødker. “You might think that it is a Panodil more than a vitamin pill, if it is a child who has just been sick, for example.”

Parents sick and tired
Parents, when confronted, often cite pressure at work as a reason for not being able to stay at home with their children.

Many declare that they simply cannot take another day off, as they are afraid of being fired.

Allan Randrup Thomsen, a professor of virology at KU, has heavily criticised the parents’ actions, describing the current situation as a “vicious circle”.

“It promotes the spread of viruses, and it adds momentum to a cycle where parents are pressured by high levels of sick-leave. If they then choose to send the children to daycare while they are still recovering, they keep the epidemic going in daycares, and this in turn puts a greater burden on the parents.”
