The Mazda repair team here at Patrick Mazda is just one of the reasons you’ll want to make our dealership your first stop for all your Mazda ownership needs. If your vehicle has been damaged or experienced wear, you have two main options to pick from—repairing it or trading it in.
Both have their benefits, and the best method is going to depend on your vehicle and your specific needs. Here are a few things you’ll want to consider before deciding.
What is the Vehicle’s Value?
Insurance companies will consider a vehicle “totaled” if the cost of repairs exceeds the value of the vehicle. When deciding whether to put your money toward repairs or a new vehicle, it can be useful to compare costs. Will repairs cost more than the value you’ll see from trading in your vehicle? In that case, it might be time for a new ride.
What Are the Future Costs?
You also want to account for future repair costs, as repair needs often follow each other. If you find you’re looking at significant costs in the long and short term, it may be a good idea to trade in before putting all that money into repairs.
What Warranties Do You Have?
Warranties can significantly reduce or even alleviate the cost of repairs. Look into any warranties that are still viable for your vehicle. With comprehensive coverage, you can bring your current car back up to scratch without breaking the bank.
