Is Your Car Safe To Drive? 

Who wouldn't take an upgrade in appearance if you could afford it? But an important factor in purchasing a new vehicle should be considering its safety. The myth is that older cars can withstand more damage but, in reality, newer cars are constructed to absorb energy and have built-in cripple zones to avoid passengers from being heavily impacted. As a result, an upgrade may be necessary to ensure you and your passengers are safe.

Will Car Repairs Be Costly?

The decision to buy a new or used car is mostly a financial one but, sentimental value is not far behind in considerations. If the cost to repair your vehicle per year outweighs the current car's worth or the price you paid for the car, in total, it may be work considering a new ride. Maybe keep the car for sentimental value and purchase a new one to drive, just as long as you are considering all options that are worth it in the long run.

Other things to consider include rubber components in need of replacement, seatbelt conditions, and if your vehicle has replacement parts that are still on the market. Ultimately, weigh sentimental value versus financial losses to decide.
