It’s always exciting to start the search for a new RAM truck, but how do you know when to make the transition from your current model to the next ride? Hall Chrysler Dodge Jeep® RAM Virginia Beach is sharing top signs that it’s time for a new vehicle, and we’ll help you pick out the perfect RAM truck for the road ahead when the time comes.
Your Vehicle is Totaled
The phrase “totaled” is used by insurance companies to determine payouts. It simply means that the cost of repairs is higher than the value of the vehicle. If your current car or truck needs repairs and they cost more than the vehicle is worth, it may be time to move on to the next RAM truck.
The Cost of Future Repairs is High
Even if your current repair costs don’t outweigh the value of the vehicle, you want to consider long-term repair needs. Are you looking at significant costs for part replacements or system repairs in the coming months?
Take stock of anticipated repairs and replacements. If they’re more than the vehicle’s value, or they seem to be increasing in frequency and cost, consider replacing your current model before spending the money.
Your Mileage is High
Mileage is more important to consider than age when it comes to your vehicle. It gives insight into how hard the vehicle was driven, and how much life is left in the parts and systems you rely on. Vehicles with high mileage will typically need costly repairs and replacements sooner rather than later, so consider making the swap when your odometer reaches certain milestones.
