Dealer or private seller?

For a consumer purchase from a Swedish dealer, the Consumer Sales Act normally allows complaints about qualifying defects appearing within three years of delivery. A presumption normally applies to defects appearing in the first two years, but the buyer still needs to demonstrate a defect. Ordinary wear and damage caused by the buyer are not automatically covered.

In a private sale, the agreement comes first and otherwise the Sale of Goods Act normally applies. Complaints must generally be made within two years from delivery and within a reasonable time after the fault was or should have been discovered. The consumer-law presumption does not apply.
