There are some symptoms that warn you of the need to change your current vehicle; there are also compelling reasons to seriously consider renewing your vehicle before it begins to depreciate or fail: You may want to take a look at these conditions and decide if that is your case:
- AGE OF THE CAR: If your car is between 7–10 years, it is considered old, one of the depreciation factors.
- REQUIRES A LOT OF MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS: frequent visits to the mechanic with small or major engine issues.
- HIGH MILEAGE: worn out piston rings, burnt oil, transmission failures, and pump leaks are some of the most frequent problems in high-mileage vehicles.
- UNRELIABLE VEHICLE: Frequent breakdowns and prone to leave you stranded quite often.
- MINIMAL OR NO SAFETY FEATURES: Your vehicle is not equipped with basic safety features such as central locking, rearview camera, power steering, multiple airbags, ABS, automatic emergency braking, etc.
- RISING INSURANCE: The older your car is, the more expensive it will be to insure it.
- WORN-OUT APPEARANCE: rust, scratches, and dents and, in general, a poor interior and exterior appearance of the vehicle.
- FAILURE TO PASS EMISSION TESTS: Outdated vehicles do not have drive-clean technology. A sign that it´s time for a change.
- LOW FUEL EFFICIENCY: Older cars are less fuel efficient, spending too much money on gas.
- FREQUENT WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD: Engine or systems warnings are evidence that your vehicle is starting to have serious problems.
- POOR PERFORMANCE: sluggish response and poor acceleration, unusual noises, and low overall performance are degrading factors and typical in non-reliable vehicles.
Not only mechanical or operational issues justify the replacement of your old car; there are other reasons as valid as the first ones, to consider a change:
- PROFESSIONAL REASONS: A new highly demanding job or a new position where projecting a good image is important.
- FAMILY NEWS: Having a baby or becoming a parent means you need more space and a larger family car. Or perhaps you need a smaller car, now that there are fewer members.
- RECREATIONAL REASONS: You are now into boating or cycling and need a larger car to haul your gear and toys.
- NEW OR EXTRA INCOME: If this is the case, it is totally worth investing in the car of your dreams.
