If you’re on the search for a new Chevrolet vehicle, Scott Chevrolet is here to help. We’re the dealership you can trust for all your Chevrolet ownership needs, and we’re sharing a closer look at the indications that it’s time to trade in your current model for the next great ride.

The Vehicle is Totaled

The phrase “totaled” is used by insurance companies to indicate when the cost of repairs exceeds the value of the vehicle. If your vehicle has been damaged in a collision or inclement weather, or simply needs a lot of repairs due to normal wear and tear, take the time to calculate costs and compare them to the vehicle’s value. If repairs are worth more than you would receive from selling or trading in, it may be time for a new car.

The Vehicle Will Need Future Repairs

Additionally, you want to look at the type of repairs your vehicle will need in the short and long-term, like upcoming repairs or replacements for the battery, tires, or brakes. If future repair costs are beginning to add up, it may be best to move on to the next car before spending the money.

Your Mileage is Getting High

Mileage tells us a lot about how a vehicle was driven and how much life is left in essential parts and systems. If you’re starting to hit the higher mileage milestones, that means parts and systems will need to be replaced sooner rather than later, and you may be better off with a newer model.
