In recent years, many people have discovered the ease of valuing and trading in their car directly online. At Niemi Bil, we work to both value, buy and sell cars from all over Sweden. Buyer William gives some tips on things to consider:
– We see that many people want to change their cars more often and reduce the loss of value or have time to Replace before too many repairs occur. We purchase several different types of cars and evaluate them directly either by having the customer come to one of our stores or by having them do an online valuation on our website, says William from Niemi Bil.
What cars can be sold used?
– A car dealer like us can sell all kinds of cars. We have a limit of 15,000 kilometers and a maximum of 8 years old, but then it's very spread out in what we take in.
How do I know what my car is worth?
– We always try to give a honest offer directly that we can keep. Some dealers give attractive prices, and then start pointing out things and lowering the bid once you are there with the car. Then it is better to be straight and honest from the start. We use databases and sales statistics from all over Sweden to give an honest valuation. Then we generally have good knowledge of what the cars can be sold for here in the North.
What do I need to prepare myself??
– Actually very little. The most important thing is that you check for any damage to the car that we should know about. What winter and summer tires look like is also something we need to know when purchasing, if you have any additional equipment it can also be good for us to know.

What are the advantages of selling to you??
– The advantage is that you get a very smooth and secure transaction. The payment comes directly into your account and we arrange the change of ownership and insurance automatically. You avoid embarrassing bids on the block or unscrupulous buyers. If you have a loan on the car, we can also pay it off.
– You also don't have to clean or wash the car. Then we can also come out to the location and pick up your car, or deliver your new one at the same time if you choose to make a trade-in.
FACTS: Three tips for those of you who are about to sell your car:
- Do an online assessment. All you need is a REG number.
You quickly get an offer and a feeling for whether to proceed with the sale or not.- Sell – or trade in? If you trade in your car with us, you can often have both pickup and delivery arranged at the same time and avoid being left without a car for a period of time.
- Let the car dealer do the heavy lifting
Don't waste time on laundry/cleaning/preparation. Make sure you take advantage of the convenience.
Are there any disadvantages to selling to car dealers?
– Are you prepared to do all the work yourself, handling buyers, bids, marketing, test drives, cleaning, etc.? You can probably get a few thousand more in the end if you want to sell privately. That applies if you find the right buyer, of course. If you value convenience and want someone else to do all the work – it's better to check with us.
"When you sell to us, you don't have to wash and clean the car. You don't have to make embarrassing bids and handle test drives. And you don't have to do a lot of paperwork," says William, Buyer.
Do I have to sell the car if I do an appraisal?
– Of course, you choose completely yourself, we will give you an offer that we can hold for 72 hours. Then you will have time to think about whether you want to sell it or not.
Safety and quality
To buy or sell a car online, nothing special is required and everything can be handled completely digitally. At Niemi Bil, security and making the customer feel safe are the important things. The car dealer has a large workshop area and has become known for maintaining a high standard in the work they perform.
"Thousands of private individuals sell their cars to Niemi Bil every year, it's easy to get a valuation online."
– It all actually started as a workshop in Luleå when Roger Niemi started the family business in 2006 with the motto: “We will only do it if we can do it really well.”
Since 2017, Niemi Bil has grown significantly and now has sales in Skellefteå, Umeå and two stores in Luleå as well as a purchasing office in Uppsala.
– I think people like that we are from the North, we have a good reputation for being reliable and rarely having any problems with anything, maybe it has helped that more people want to shop with us, concludes William Larsson, Buyer at Niemi Bil.
