Its All Over for Your Car

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 seems as though some people just do not acknowledge when their automobile 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 automobile fails to begin every single day and it is over a decade old then it could potentially be time to call it a day. Go out and get yourself a brand new vehicle which is not older than five years. At least you will get a regular start up.

Exhaust

If your exhaust is simply getting louder and louder then you really know your car has had it. Is it really worth it to pay to get a new exhauset, when you could instead spend your money on purchasing a new vehicle? Also take into account that if you notice any black smoke coming out of the exhaust then it could signal some major problems.

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

Ultimately I would check to see the body work, if you have major rust on the car, not only can it be life-threatening to the driver and passenger. But it will also probably fail its next MOT test leaving it off the road and leaving you carless.
