Hi do you have any advise?

first time buying car in Norway.

is [finn.no](https://finn.no) better than local car dealers? I do not plan to buy brand new. looking for a 2-3 year old car with less than 100K km usage.

I plan to buy electric car but I do not have charger at home, but there is charger near our home.

also is lower kilometers better to consider than lower value?

for example between two cars same model and year but price difference is approx 50K nok but kilometer difference is about 50K kms also

I also only have parking without roof

first time owning a car in this norway cold weather and snow.

how to maintain snow covered the car?

and I may have more questions ask in the comments…

  1. My best advice is to get it checked by Norges Automobilforbund (NAF) before signing any contact.

  2. I dont think you will enjoy not having a charger at home.
    Why not go with a plug in hybrid?
    Also finn is great. Have purchased several cars from there.
    Lowered mileage is generally better but if you are not a mechanic, pick a car and have a local mechanic do a pre buy inspection.
    Use a cover for your front windscreen and you will be happy.
    Buy something that comes with like new winter and summer tires with wheels.
    My 2 cents.

  3. If you have a basic understanding of the Norwegian language try: bilhjelpen.if.no. Also vegvesenet.no for more information about the car.

  4. Charging at home could be a simple extension cord, and would massively help the situation. Exclusively charging at a fast charger will be almost as expensive as a gas car.

  5. The snow is no problem, you will just have to dig your car out of it from time to time.

  6. As one of the comments mentioned; if the seller agrees, get it checked by a NAF Center, and also do not rush, take your time, find out what specific cars you want and do some research about it, like known faults etc, this could help you look for common errors on the specific cars you want so that you can avoid them! I know TV2’s Broom department (car related new and used news) has a Bruktbil guide on a lot of cars pointing out known faults and what to look for when buying a specific car. Hope this helps!
