Keeping Your Older Car Saves You Money!

Keeping Your Older Car Saves You Money!

Prices seem to be out of control these days and new car prices are no exception.  I was shocked to read that a few decades ago you could buy a skyrocket for the price of today’s new cars. Is that where the expression, “prices are skyrocketing” came from? Hmmm…  It just makes financial sense to keep your current car running well and your bank balance healthier.  How do you do that? Here is a list of ways to keep your car for years to come.

  • Pay attention to the warning lights! They really are trying to tell you something.
  • Follow the manufacturer’s preventive maintenance schedules.
  • Keep the oil changed regularly.
  • Wash and wax to keep the outside looking good.
  • Clean the inside frequently.
  • Make sure your tires are properly inflated, rotated in a timely manner, and have good tread.
  • Vehicle alignment is important…especially if you frequently hit potholes.
  • Fluids are the life blood of your vehicle. Have them checked and changed regularly. If you notice leaks on your garage floor or on the pavement where you park your car, get it checked out.  
  • To keep your emergency brake healthy…use it!
