It’s common to wonder about the depreciation of a car, and how your current vehicle’s value can play a part in servicing, trading in, and picking out the next model. Hall | MileOne Autogroup is here to help. We make it easy to learn about your vehicle financing options, and we’re sharing top tips to minimize the depreciation of your vehicle’s value.
Schedule Regular Service
One of the best ways to keep your vehicle’s value high is by scheduling routine service and care. You want to reference your auto manual and speak with your service team to know when to bring your car in for service, and always record service appointments, replacements, and repairs. If you can produce a comprehensive history of service and maintenance when the time comes to sell or trade-in, you’ll likely see a higher vehicle value.
Clean it Regularly
Did you know that cleaning your vehicle is about more than just cosmetics? Over time, the dirt and grime from the road can actually cause corrosion to your vehicle’s paint, and even the metal below. By cleaning it regularly, you help to keep the vehicle in the best possible condition and prevent damage that can reduce vehicle value.
Keep the Mileage Low
While age does play a factor in vehicle value, mileage is much more important. It tells future buyers how hard the vehicle was driven, and how much life it has left. Consider taking shorter routes home, and carpooling and walking when possible, to maintain your low mileage and your vehicle’s higher value.
