Cars are expensive, so keeping your vehicle in the best condition possible throughout the entire time you own it is very important. No matter what, all cars lose their value over time, so here are some tips to slow down that car depreciation process and keep that hard earned money in your pocket.
- Use Your Garage
If you have a garage, try to park your car in it as often as possible. Storing your vehicle in a garage can help protect it from weather-related elements or any natural accidents that may happen. - Change Your Oil Regularly
Oil in your car should be changed every 3,000 miles or three months; whichever comes first. It’s important to stay up to date with this to keep all the mechanical parts of your car working their best. - Drive Safe
Bad driving habits are likely to cause problems to your vehicle. This includes immediate, hard acceleration, sharp turns, and sudden stops. These types of driving habits can take a toll on your vehicle and ultimately cause deterioration, resulting in a quicker depreciation. - Maintain A Clean Vehicle
In order to avoid smells or stains, try your best not to consume messy snacks and drinks in your car and always use a trash bag instead of throwing waste on the floor. It’s always a good idea to keep a plastic bag in the pouch behind the driver and passenger seats just incase a mess needs to be cleaned up. Having a stain remover readily available isn’t a bad idea either.
Not only will keeping your vehicle in better condition mean driving a safer vehicle, but you’ll also likely be in that vehicle longer if you take great care of it. If you’re ever in a bind and need some extra cash, you can take a loan out against the equity of your vehicle and get the money you need for an emergency or unforeseen circumstance quickly.
