The Vestre Landsret reduced the plaintiff's claim for a price reduction in a used car purchase dispute from 10,000 kr. to 10,000 kr. The plaintiff argued the vehicle had undisclosed defects, while the defendant contested the extent of the damage. The court found insufficient evidence to support a higher reduction but acknowledged minor issues warranting the lower amount.

Købelov 2009; Salgslav 2009: The court may reduce the purchase price based on material defects if the buyer proves the defect existed at the time of sale and significantly impaired the vehicle's value, but must base the reduction on concrete evidence rather than speculation.
