Five Tips to Know When Your Car Has Had It

Cars are getting cheaper and cheaper, yet I am still seeing a lot of people driving cars that are literally over a decade old. It does seem as though a lot of people simply do not acknowledge when their car has had it. So I am basically compiling a top five list so you know exactly when to change your vehicle.

Startup Times

If your car fails to start every single day and it is over a decade old then it could potentially be time to call it a day. Go out and grab yourself a brand new vehicle or one which is not older than five years. At least you will get a regular start up.

Exhaust

If your exhaust system is starting to get louder and louder then you acknowledge that your automobile has had it. Is it genuinely worth paying to get a brand new exhaust system when you could spend the money to buy a new automobile instead? Also remember that if you acknowledge black smoke coming out of the exhaust system then it could signal that the head gasket is going.

Oil Leak

Oil leaks may be an indication that something is seriously wrong with the vehicle, check the colour of the oil and if it is black then this could again indicate that you really need to scrap the car.

Clutch

Is the clutch beginning to get heavier and heavier. If it has then a car change may be necessary immediatley as the clutch will probably cost more to fix than the car is worth.

Bodywork

Finally I would look to see if the body work had any rust problems, because not only will it be dangerous to the driver and passenger. But it will also probably fail its next MOT test leaving it off the road and leaving you carless.
