There is no reason that an older car cannot be kept on the road almost indefinitely. With simple preventative maintenance, there will be no problem maintaining the same condition as a new car would enjoy.It is very likely that your local auto mechanic would agree with the sentiment that keeping an old car on the road is far more cost efficient than buying a new car.
“With a slightly older car, you can replace the engine, transmission, all four tires and wheels as well as install a new rear axle for less than half the price of a new vehicle in many cases, “ says Ron Haugen, owner of Westside Auto Pros in Clive, Iowa. It only makes sense to continue driving your older car, rather than continuously investing in new cars every few years.
By reducing the amount of new cars that we purchase as a nation, we also reduce the amount of natural resources that we use on a regular basis. This may seem strange, given the higher gas mileage of new cars. The truth is that the use of older vehicles precludes the need to produce steel, rubber and other types of components for new cars. While this is bad news for automakers, it is good news for the environment.
Staying with your old car and relying on the services of your auto mechanic can save a tremendous amound of money over the long term. For more advice on how car owners can save money through routine maintenance, visit www.westsideautopros.com.
