Signs It's Time for a New Car

No matter how much you may love your current car, nothing lasts forever. Eventually, you will get to the point at which you have to get a new car. Whether you want a brand new car or a car that is new to you, switching vehicles at the right time will help you maximum the trade-in value of your existing car while reaping the benefits of hitting the road in a new vehicle. When is the right time to get a new car? If you notice these signs, then consider visiting the car dealership.

You have to repeatedly invest in repairs.

Making periodic repairs is part of keeping your car in good condition and getting the longest possible life out of it. However, once you start having to repair your car more frequently than you used to, then it could be time to invest in a new vehicle. At some point, you will be throwing good money after the bad trying to fix an old car that is ready to retire. These repeated small fixes often culminate in the need for a major repair that costs more than your car is worth. Trading in your car before it gets to that point will allow you use it for a down payment on a new car.

Your gas mileage is getting worse.

Depending on the age of your car, even your best gas mileage may not be enough to compete with the newer models, so you could get a serious savings on the cost of ownership by switching to a more efficient vehicle. If your car used to get better gas mileage than it does now, it’s a sign that it is losing efficiency. Replacing can help you and the environment.

Your interior is falling apart.

Ripped seats, leaking sunroofs and broken handles are all signs that your car’s best life is behind it. These kinds of interior damage mean that you won’t be able to get the full value of your vehicle for a trade-in, and the longer that it goes on, the worse the problems will get.
