Signs It’s Time to Sell Your Car

Did you know that nearly 25% of people have named their car? With so many of us having this much of an attachment to our vehicles, it’s no surprise that making the decision to part ways with it can be a difficult one. Thankfully, there are a few key signs that it’s time to sell your car. Check them out below:

Your Needs Have Changed

Maybe you move to a new climate, or a different city. Maybe you’ve got a new addition to the family, or now you’re an empty nester. Life is always changing, and your vehicle needs to go right along with it. If you’re finding that you can’t fit your family into your car anymore, or it’s not handling the weather the way you’d like it to, it’s time to sell your car.

Maintenance Expenses

It should come as no surprise that older cars can be more expensive to maintain. With parts needing to be replaced more frequently, you might also realize it’s harder to find parts for your specific make and model as time goes by. Sometimes it’s better to cut your losses and spend less of your money on car repairs.

It’s Embarrassing

Is your car cramping your style? If you’re embarrassed by your car, or your friends wouldn’t be caught dead in it, it may be time to sell your car. It may be a superficial reason, but quality of life matters, right?

You’ve Got Expensive Repairs Coming Up

You know the old saying, “where there’s smoke, there’s fire”. If there’s one problem with your engine, there’s bound to be more coming up. If you’re not ready to spend a small fortune trying to save your car, it’s probably best to sell it.

You Failed a State Inspection

Some states require vehicles to pass different inspections before they’ll send you your registration. If your car didn’t pass, you’ve got to make the judgement call of whether to fix the problem, or sell it. As we’ve mentioned before, repairs can be expensive. If you’ve failed multiple inspections, it’s definitely time to sell your car.

You’re Ready for New Car Technology

Are you not satisfied with decking out your old car with new car technology? If you’re ready for a state-of-the-art GPS system, or having the convenience of Amazon’s Alexa right in your dashboard, the time to sell your car is now.

It’s Not Safe

Older cars don’t have all the same safety features as newer cars. If you’re feeling unsafe in your vehicle, it’s time to sell and enjoy all the upgrades. From airbag equipped seatbelts to accident prevention technology, the peace of mind might be worth getting rid of your old ride.

The Best Cars from 2002 and Forward

Some cars, like the ones we wrote about in October, are known to be very unreliable, dangerous, or plain ugly. In this blog, South East Car Removal is declaring the best cars from 2002 and forward! The cars we chose are revered for their dependability, their innovation, or their sharp looks! Above all, they are fun to drive! It’s hard to determine what cars are the absolute best compared to the absolute worst, so we narrowed them down to five different categories. These categories are luxury, sports, hybrid, economical, and hypercar. As before, these cars were chosen using the most common criteria of what makes a car “good.” There are those out there who will disagree with our list but South East Car Removal has taken their stand on the best cars from 2002 and forward! The Best Luxury Car 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS500 It should be a surprise to none that Mercedes-Benz shows up on this list. The most difficult part was choosing which car to feature! The CLS-Class sits between the C-Cl

The Most Reliable Used Cars and Trucks

What Makes Cars and Trucks Reliable and Dependable? Cars and trucks are not all built the same. Manufacturer’s can take shortcuts, have consistency issues with parts that they source, or build something cheap that consumers want. Despite this,  Chrysler sold over 600,000 over its 11 year lifespan. So, what makes the most reliable used cars and trucks, well, so reliable? Every once in a while, the stars align and car manufacturer’s give each other a round of high-fives in the R&D room. They create a vehicle that is half car and… Half zombie. That’s right. These cars won’t die unless, you know, destroy their metaphorical “brains,” or set them on fire. But unlike zombies, their purpose is to get you from point A to point B, no matter what. The cars below are for, whatever reason, the living dead of the automotive world and we love them for that. Saab 900: 1985 – 1993 Our first car on our list of reliable and dependable zombie cars is the Saab 900s made between 1985 and 1993. M
