I Was in the Same Place You Are Now

My first Dutch car taught me everything the hard way — now I’m sharing those lessons, the easy way.

New arrival in the Netherlands puzzled by Dutch car terms

The Arrival

When I first moved to the Netherlands, I just wanted a car to explore this beautiful, flat country. But buying one felt like walking through a maze — strange words like APK, NAP, RDW everywhere.

Everyone told me, “Just check it online, it’s simple.” Spoiler: it wasn’t. At one point, I honestly thought NAP meant I could take a nap while the car was being checked.

The Mistake

I remember standing at a small dealership near Utrecht. The seller smiled and said, “APK nieuw, geen probleem!” I nodded confidently — pretending I understood Dutch.

A month later, my “perfect” car was in the workshop, and the only thing “new” was the repair bill.

The Turning Point

After that, I decided to learn how the Dutch used-car market really works — and how to use it to my advantage. I learned what RDW actually does, and that NAP isn’t about sleeping — it’s the official mileage check.

I started helping friends decode plates and spot red flags before they wasted money or trips. The pattern was always the same: great-looking ads, confusing details, and easily avoidable mistakes.
