As you\u2019re probably and painfully aware, it\u2019s difficult to say goodbye to a member of the family. You remember the good times, you think about all the memories you\u2019ve shared, and eventually you find a way to forge ahead. The same is often true of a family vehicle, one that you\u2019ve loved for years but that eventually becomes more trouble than it\u2019s worth. So, when should you get rid of an old car?<\/span><\/p>\n

When To Get Rid of an Old Car<\/h2>\n

When the Engine Starts Going<\/h3>\n

For most modern vehicles, an engine can go 200,000 miles or more when properly maintained. However, when it goes, there isn\u2019t any way to wish it away. The problem will only get worse, with smoking and clunking and knocking helping to remind you of the problem. Since purchasing and installing a new engine is such an expensive fix, this generally is the last thing you\u2019d like to do on an old car.<\/p>\n

\"oldWhen the Fixes Get Too Expensive<\/h3>\n

A problem with fixes on older cars is often that one seemingly simple fix will give way to more expensive ones down the road. You\u2019ll think that you were only getting an oil change, but will leave having paid for belts, fluids, filters, and more. Once things start piling up, it can seem like a faucet that won\u2019t turn off. So, when these fixes become untenable, it\u2019s time for an upgrade.

When Your Car Becomes Embarrassing<\/h3>\n

Beauty is often in the eye of the beholder, but this isn\u2019t really the case when it comes to vehicular embarrassment. If your car is perpetually squealing and squeaking, it it\u2019s breaking down everywhere, or if your kids refuse to be seen inside it, then it might be time to make a change to your automotive situation.<\/p>\n

When the Technology of Your Car Can\u2019t Keep Up with the Times<\/h3>\n

With many modern vehicles, it\u2019s no surprise that the tech features are among their biggest draws. With cars offering WiFi, streaming music, in-car navigation, phone connectivity, and much more, it\u2019s understandable that we might feel left out of the party with all the fun gadgets available.
