Admittedly, now’s not the time most people would like to be thinking about the doom and gloom to come. Nevertheless, give things a few more weeks and the bleakness of the autumn/winter season will be well and truly here. 

After which, it’s the usual tale of month after month of highly undesirable driving conditions.

With everything that’s going on right now, it’s understandable that the thought of scrapping and recycling your car probably isn’t most people’s priority.  Nevertheless, there are several good reasons why now really could be the perfect time to get ahead on things.

With the winter season firmly on the horizon, here’s why scrapping and recycling your old car right now could be the thing to do:

1. You’ll Be Warmer 

First up, scrapping and trading up to a new car before the weather goes south means a warmer winter season to come. There’s nothing quite as depressing as piloting a freezing cold car, where keeping the windows from fogging up is a constant challenge. Perhaps with the one exception of failing to get the thing started in the first place.

2. You’ll Be More Comfortable 

For the sake of your own basic comfort, it’s worth thinking about trading up.  Driving in the winter isn’t the joyous of experiences, but can be even more unpleasant in a cold, uncomfortable and unreliable car. From difficulties getting it started to breakdowns at the worst possible time, trading up at the opportune moment might not be a bad idea.

3. You’ll be Safer 

Then there’s the health and safety element to factor in, which should never be overlooked during the autumn/winter season. Even if your car is perfectly safe (or safe enough) to drive in the summer, it might not be quite the same in the weeks and months to come. Unless you have total confidence in your car’s condition, stepping up to something safer could be the way to go. 

4. You’ll Have One Less Headache 

Last up, knowing you need to scrap and upgrade a car at some point in the future can be a pain in the backside. In which case, why not get it out of the way and give yourself one less thing to worry about? Scrapping a car (and shopping for a new car) can be a far less painful experience while it is still pleasant outdoors. Wait for the big freeze to come and what was once a fairly simple process can quickly become the ultimate lingering headache!
