Should You Get a New Vehicle or Keep the One You Have?

Have you had your car for a long time?

Has your car needed a lot of repairs?

Unless your car is totaled in an accident or has well over 200,000 miles it may well make sense to keep it and maintain it. Cars built in the last 15 -20 years are so robust you can realistically expect to get 150,000 + miles out of them if they are properly maintained.

That said, it can sometimes be hard to tell if you should get the issues repaired or if you should just invest in a new car. Asking yourself this question can help: will the cost of repairs on your current car exceed the cost of a down payment or monthly payment on a new car? In today’s climate if you compare the cost of repairing and maintaining and older vehicle to the cost of new or even used vehicle, more often than to it makes financial sense to keep the older one. Compound that with high interest rate car loans and it makes the choice even easier.
