Is It Time To Change Vehicles?


Is It Time To Change Vehicles?

Kevin Anderson
May 17, 2006

For several years, your vehicle has been your constant companion in various activities. From going to the office, to meeting friends, to carpooling, to picking up your children, to going to vacation spots, you and your vehicle have been inseparable. Now, with time, it seems to you that many people are owning newer and newer cars and you have gone out of the loop. You ask yourself, “Is it time to change cars?”

There are plenty of things to consider though before you let go of your vehicle and find yourself a new one. After all, it has been years that your vehicle has served its purpose and has been there for you to various locations. Check first and look at your car’s maintenance records. You can see if your vehicle has had plenty of problems or not and if your mechanic seems to suggest that there is no need for any kind of major work in the future, then maybe you may still want to hang on to your vehicle for the time being. After all, it is no easy task for find a vehicle that does not break down easily and would not need major operations.

Think about your insurance fees and premiums. Remember that your old vehicle is going to cost you much less compared to a much newer vehicle that would cost you a high price for insurance fees. Also, it is time to think about your needs. If your current vehicle is serving its purposes well, then maybe it has been really made for you to keep it.

You may also go to your trusted mechanic for auto advice. Ask him if your current vehicle’s auto parts are easy to find. If they are, then you might want to consider keeping the vehicle still. On the other hand, if they are hard to find, then maybe, it is time that you set your sights on a new one. After all, parts that are hard to find also mean that you would be spending much more on those parts.
