Let’s take a look at some of the reasons it can be better to replace your car instead of paying for expensive repairs.
The Cost of Repairs vs the Value of Your Car
A 2015 average for major repairs by CarMD suggests the average cost of an engine replacement is $5,500, a transmission replacement is even more expensive at $6,400. These days, those prices have only grown. The recent pandemic has impacted the cost of parts due to supply chain issues and created delays in the availability of the parts required for major repairs.
How much is your current car worth? A good rule of thumb is to add up the cost of the repair vs the value of the vehicle. You can get vehicle value estimates easily online these days. Knight’s Car Store can provide an estimate of the value of your current vehicle. You can get started using our simple trade-value estimate form. If the cost of the repair is greater than the vehicle’s current value, or greater than one year’s worth of monthly payments, it is time to seriously consider replacing it.
Cost
If the cost of a major repair is a concern, then you may be worried about the cost of a replacement. Knight's Car Store is here to help. By choosing to replace instead of repair your vehicle with a used car, truck, or SUV from Knight's Car Store, you’re making the right decision.
