Should I repair or sell my vehicle?

Many times, an unexpected breakdown or necessary repair for your vehicle can leave you with a case of sticker shock. We've all been there, wondering if it's even worth the cost of repair. So what should you do? If you're trying to decide between repairing or selling your vehicle, it can help to know your options. You can follow Redwood City INFINITI's guide to weigh the pros and cons of selling vs. repairing to help you make your final decision.

Repair

Some of the most important things to take into consideration are the age and condition of your vehicle. If this is your vehicle's first repair, it's probably worth the investment, even if it's a pricey one. When you're faced with costly repairs, it can be helpful to make a budget to see where the repair fits in for you. Auto repair financing can be an option if the upfront cost is too much, and can go a long way to help you get your vehicle back sooner. If your vehicle is still on the low end for milage, you could have years left on it, making repairing a wise choice. Your vehicle could have a lot of life left in it, and paying for a repair could help it last even longer. Since some modern vehicles can go well past 200,000 and even up to 300,000 miles, the mileage is one more thing to consider.

Sell

How old is your vehicle? Has it already had several big repairs? If you're already stressed at the thought of the the next repair, then selling your vehicle might be your best bet. When you're in the market for a new vehicle, the easiest option is to sell directly to a dealership. They'll take care of all the repairs so you don't have to, and you can even find your vehicle's value before you decide to sell. At Redwood City INFINITI, our Buy-Back Program is designed to make selling easier, so you can get that vehicle off your hands and into a new one with more longevity. Then, you can apply the value of your old car to a new purchase or lease.

How to Retain Your Car's Value

Investing in a luxury vehicle like an INFINITI is a great choice, but what about when it comes time to sell? Not all vehicles retain their value, and how you treat your vehicle goes a long way in how much you can get for it during trade-in. To get the most out of your vehicle when it’s time to sell, follow these tips for retaining your car’s value. more Keep Up with Maintenance A well-maintained luxury vehicle will retain more of its value than a neglected one. Staying on top of oil changes, brake service, and more will go a long way in getting you the best trade-in. The good news is that maintenance is a no-brainer with INFINITI Premium Care, a prepaid maintenance package included with all new INFINITI models. You get the best service by an INFINITI dealer using only genuine INFINITI parts, all performed by factory-trained technicians. Track Maintenance Records To show a potential buyer that you’ve kept up with maintenance, it can help to keep detailed records of each time you service your vehicle. Whether you keep a notebook or take your vehicle to a dealership service department, keep note of each time your vehicle is serviced. Keep It Clean Along with maintenance, a car that retains its value is clean and well-kept. Regularly clean inside and outside, including vacuuming the carpet, wiping down the dash, and washing and waxing the outside helps things look good as new. Plus, a car that looks good sends the message to buyers that you put a lot of thought and effort into caring for the vehicle. You might consider protection products to keep things looking great between washes and to protect the interior surfaces.
