With the long-awaited end of the winter weather on the horizon, millions of motorists across the UK will once again by giving their cars a little seasonal TLC. In fact, research would seem to suggest that this is often the only time of year many motorists bother lavishing their cars with attention.
But what happens when all the cleaning and vacuuming in the world still doesn’t result in a car you can be genuinely happy with?
The answer – it could be time to scrap it!
Of course, we understand that making the decision to scrap a car is never easy. Even if you’re a conscientious and responsible type, knowing where to draw the line can be tricky. The way we see it however, there are four relatively clear warning signs that this spring could be the perfect season to scrap your car and upgrade to something a little newer:
- Frequent Repairs
First and foremost, it really isn’t worth hanging onto a car that requires frequent repairs. If you find yourself sending your car to the mechanic far more often than you’d like to, you could be wasting an incalculable sum of money that could be put to better use. If repairs are becoming a headache, scrapping could be the painkiller you need. - Lack of Comfort
If you’ve just spent the entire winter freezing cold and painfully uncomfortable at the wheel of a rundown car, you’re in prime position to do something about it. Driving in the Great British spring and summer can be hugely enjoyable experience – as long as you do so from the wheel of a moderately comfortable car. If driving your car has become a comprehensively uncomfortable experience, why put yourself through any more discomfort? - Lack of Joy
In fact, if you take absolutely no joy whatsoever in piloting your vehicle, why would you not consider upgrading to something a little more pleasant? Driving should be a pleasure, never a chore. Nevertheless, it’s difficult to experience any kind of pride or pleasure with a vehicle that’s become nothing less than a nightmare. - Safety Issues
Last but not least, if you have even the slightest inkling that your current car is becoming unsafe to drive, it is your duty and responsibility to ensure it is taken off public roads as quickly as possible. Always remember that if something goes wrong and your car is deemed to have been in an unsafe condition, you and you alone will bear the brunt of the responsibility.
