With the purchase of a new car comes the confidence that the car will last a long time and without problems. Some use the machine for one, two, even 10 years. Such a wide and contrasting variety of indicators does not always depend on the brand and quality of the car. Most cases of car changes occur due to the specifics of the driver of the vehicle.

How often do you need to change the car? There is no single answer to this question, the frequency of machine changes depends on many aspects, both subject to us and not. It makes no sense to give advice, everyone uses cars differently. We define only a few points.

Car operating conditions

Pay attention to the operating conditions of the machine - the frequency and duration of trips, transportation of goods, weather conditions, road conditions.

Researchers have estimated that the most durable car owners are Americans. The average service life of equipment in the hands of one owner is more than five years. In Russia, cars are changed on average once every three years.

This contrast is connected with the fact that in the USA most roads have a concrete coating, asphalt is practically not used. The quality of roads improves, they do not disassemble crushed stone, which scratches the bottom, contributes to rapid wear tire and harms the elements of the car. Wear parts - this is the first reason to think about buying a new car.

Appointment

The next factor is the intended use of the machine. If you bought a family car and used it to get to work and home, and on weekends planned to go on vacation with your relatives, the car will last a long time in technical terms. Experts advise changing the family car in 5-6 years, without fear for safety and condition.

If professional activities or personal circumstances have contributed to a more aggressive operation of the vehicle, for example, in taxi, it’s better to sell the car in 2 years.

The duration of stay in the same hands of a vehicle used for traveling on intercity or international routes is 3-4 years. It will seem strange to many that a taxi car that worked on city roads and, most likely, gained less mileage, should serve less, but it is.

Yes, there may be more visual injuries and chips on the track, but the engine, brake system, steering wears out faster in urban conditions when driving with traffic lights, constant changes in speed, driving style and traffic jams.

If the economic factor is preferable and the priority is not to lose the value of the vehicle during the sale, change the car every 6-10 months. Where did this figure come from? During this period, the new car will lose less in value and in the ad you can indicate that the car is fresh and coincides with the year of purchase.

Thanks to this psychological technique, you can ride in a brand new car, selling it for the illusion of a new vehicle.
