Check to see what the new insurance cost will be if you are considering junking your car for another. Chances are, it will be a lot more as the rates for a new car are higher.

Look for how sweet the offered incentives or rebates are. For example, free basic maintenance for new cars.

Remember a used car comes with its own issues if you are thinking about replacing your old car with a used model. Do not switch one junk vehicle for another.

Your maintenance track record and the current condition of your car will affect the current value of your car.

A recent repair work done on your car could significantly add to your car’s life.

Look if your current car had started to rust and fuel lines, brake lines, and other hidden parts are decaying.

  1. Safety

Is your car safe to drive and has working airbags? Consider the state of all the vehicle’s safety features.

  1. Your Life

Does the car meet your current lifestyle? Is it sufficient for all your family members?

  1. Your Feelings

One should not make financial decisions based only on their feelings, but maybe you have some sentimental attachment to it. Or maybe it makes you incredibly frustrated with it? This can help you make the decision.
