When Should I Replace My Vehicle?
If your vehicle has been damaged as the result of a collision or inclement weather, or the parts have simply worn down, you may be wondering if it’s worth the time and money to repair it. In most cases, repairs are the best way to get back behind the wheel.
However, there are a few instances when you’ll want to consider replacements:
- Your Vehicle is “Totaled”: If the cost of repairs is going to be higher than the value of the vehicle, your insurance company will consider it totaled. When repairing the car is going to cost you more than the value you will see returned when you sell, consider replacing the car.
- The Repairs Are Adding Up: If your vehicle is getting older and you notice a lot of parts or systems are starting to go, pay attention to costs. You want to think about how much you’re spending on regular repairs, and if you’ll see that value returned to you when you sell down the line. Are the current repairs long-term or indicative of more serious issues?
- The Car Has High Mileage: You always want to think about the long term when it comes to expensive repairs and replacements. If your vehicle still has many years of life left, it can be worth it to repair. If the mileage is high and you’re going to need a new car in the near future, consider a replacement, instead.
