We can finalize deals and negotiate contracts between you – the company we work for - and other companies, by giving adequate consideration to both parties. The exchange, payment, or fulfillment of the agreement must be fair for both parties to ensure long-term business relations. We make things happen thru trust, loyalty, and communication.

Administrative tasks

We are overseeing finalized deals until they are successfully closed. If you authorize us, we can oversee all transactions until deals are successfully closed if. If you entrust us with this task, we will make sure the process is functioning smoothly and everything stays organized.

Logistics and supply chain

We can help you with our Dealer Network and connect you to other Car-Dealerships and Partners with similar transport needs. This can often lead to lower transport costs and faster transport processing. Maybe you need fast delivery for your vehicles but you cannot fill a full truckload on your own at the time. We all know that booking a full truckload is significantly cheaper than having to book a partial load. Often you also have to wait some time until the transport company has found all the missing cars to fill the load. The network is key! By utilizing the synergy of connecting with other Partners with similar transport needs you can continuously exchange information with them and get things done faster and at a lower cost.

Do you offer special pricing conditions for ongoing projects?

We often start with hourly rates. It's a common practice, in the beginning. We do however also offer "Fixed-price billing". That means we often can create a set price for the specific project we are working on. In that way, hourly limits go by the wayside, and we offer a single price for the entirety of the contract, project, or task. We often agree with a client on a price, where we´re available to the client for a monthly fee to complete specific tasks or to oversee the fulfillment of business transactions agreed upon in our contract. On some projects, we also use "Value-Based Pricing".

Do you provide references?

Sure we do! This concept is important as an individual as well as a firm. With Scanex we´ve always prided ourselves on the fact that most of our clients have not only brought us back for additional work, but they also served as great references to other prospects. Customer satisfaction is always key. With some of our clients, we work for more than 20 years. We truly care about your corporate success!

What are the advantages of sourcing factory-new cars in Denmark?

You might ask, why Denmark? Prices I can see online are insane expensive? That´s right!
Denmark has traditionally been a very expensive place to purchase a new car, thanks to the high vehicle registration taxes added on to car prices. But this is only the case if the car is registered in Denmark, in that case, the registration tax is up to 150% - and that is without considering 25% VAT. However, this is only the case if one lives in Denmark and the car is registered in Denmark. Non-resident foreigners or companies can buy new cars which are not registered in Denmark for export. Non-registered cars in Denmark are among the most inexpensive in Europe. Manufacturers like Audi, Volkswagen, BMW, Toyota, Mazda, Suzuki, Skoda, Kia, and others supply their vehicles with a heavily discounted pre-tax price to Denmark to counteract the high Danish registration taxes. Some manufacturers sell their cars at close to a loss in Denmark and profit much more in other countries. Often cars sold in Denmark have even significantly better equipment compared to other countries in Europe and are readily available from stock. But of course, vehicle availability is still largely dependent on the model and vehicle type

What are the advantages of sourcing factory-new cars in Sweden?

First of all, as with Denmark, your non-Swedish organization or Dealership is buying the cars Tax-free in Sweden. But taxes on cars in Sweden aren´t nearly as high as in Denmark. So there must be other reasons right? Well yes, there are! The reasons why the net prices of certain vehicle brands/models are lower in Sweden are: -1.- Currency fluctuations – the Swedish currency is at a historic low at the moment (May 2023). -2.- Certain manufacturers may offer different pricing strategies based on market demand and competition in each country, and also based on consumer behavior and preferences. For example, are Audi and Volkswagen cars not nearly as popular in Sweden as in Germany or Switzerland. Swedish buyers wouldn´t be willing to pay as high prices as in Germany or Switzerland. So to secure market shares the manufacturers are selling the cars at a lower price to Sweden. -3.- Last but not least are many cars sold with extra equipment and low-priced special equipment packages are added to almost all cars. That means that in many cases the equipment is significantly better compared to the same Models sold in for example Germany or Switzerland.

Which other European countries have low net prices for new vehicles?

The Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Hungary, and in some cases, Spain are some of the countries in which many popular Car brands and models have low net prices. Depending on the Cars or Models you are interested in, some other countries could also be interesting. New opportunities emerge all the time. Stay on top of it and keep yourself informed through our Consulting Service!!

Do all New Cars bought from a Factory authorized Dealership or Importer in the EU and EEA come with Factory Warranty?

Yes. According to the provisions of the EU Competition Commission: “Warranties guarantees provided by motor vehicle suppliers at the place where the new motor vehicle is purchased must be valid under the same conditions throughout the European Economic Area and in Switzerland.” This and more is regulated in a set of rules passed by the EU Competition Commission.
