Your Car’s Value
There are several factors that come into play when determining what your car is worth. We’ve listed them for you below:
- Number of miles on the odometer
- Whether or not regular maintenance has been performed
- Overall condition of the vehicle
- How popular the make and model may—or may not—be
- Car’s physical appearance
What To Consider When Purchasing a New Car
One way to make sure your vehicle retains much of its value when you go to trade it in is to buy a higher trim level. These cars are worth more because they’re equipped with the sort of features drivers want. Some of these features include:
- A navigation system
- Automatic climate control
- All-wheel drive
Another good idea to boost your car’s resale value is to find a model that has safety features that effectively help keep its occupants safe and secure. See below for a few examples of these features:
- Collision warning
- Lane keep assist
- Blind spot detection
- Rearview camera
Routine Maintenance Procedures
Once you’ve chosen the vehicle you want, you’ll want to maintain it to the best of your ability. This involves making sure the tires remain in good working condition. For starters, monitor the air pressure levels for each of your tires to make sure they’re at their recommended levels.
In addition, you’ll want to have them rotated on a regular basis. Apart from having this done every time you have the vehicle’s oil changed, it’s a good idea to keep an eye on the condition of your tires yourself. A good way to accomplish this is to perform a quick inspection of all four tires in the morning before you get on the road or in the evening when you’re done driving for the day. This will help you keep an eye on any wear and tear that may be occurring.
Other aspects of your car’s regular maintenance include:
- Oil changes
- Brake maintenance
- Engine tune-ups
- Transmission flushes
