However, if you’re still unsure, what are the signs that you’re ready for a new car? We’ve got some of the most common factors to check out here.
You need more features
Many of the cars that we have here at Prestige Cars Kent come equipped with the very latest features, such as large infotainment screens, climate control and a variety of cutting-edge assistance systems.
But on a more basic level, it might be the ability to mirror your smartphone’s apps through the car’s screen that you need. With features such as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, you’ll be able to easily use features such as Google Maps and other smartphone apps via the car’s display and this is something which is absent from many older vehicles.
Your car needs more frequent repairs
Spending a lot of time at the garage? Frequent repairs might mean that your car is getting older and more difficult to keep going reliably, which could suggest that it’s a good time to switch to something a little newer.
Remember, all of our cars get a 175-point quality inspection before going on sale and are accompanied by a 90-day guarantee.
You’re bored with the colour
Sometimes it’s the simplest issues which can turn into a need for a change. Perhaps you’re feeling a little tired of your car’s colours or specification, or maybe you’d like something with larger wheels or in a far more striking colour.
The good news is that we’ve got a great variety of colours and specifications to choose from here at Prestige Cars Kent, ensuring that there’s something to suit any personality.
Running costs are too high
Running a car has never been so expensive, with rising fuel costs and insurance premiums that seem to struggle to go down. However, making the switch to a smaller and more efficient car can help to drive costs down, while changing to an electric vehicle could provide the opportunity for some seriously low running costs.
Particularly if you’re able to take advantage of cheap home electricity costs, using an electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle can cost a fraction of what it would take to fuel up a traditional petrol or diesel car.
You’ve run out of space
Whether you’re an expanding family or someone who needs to cart about a lot of luggage, space is often a top priority when using a car. If you’re feeling like you’ve outgrown your current car, then it could be a good time to change into something with a little more room to offer.
Whether it’s a spacious seven-seater or a roomy estate car, we’ve got plenty of practical options here at Prestige Cars Kent to check out.
It’s too big
On the flip side, you might be driving a car which is a little too large and fuel-heavy for your needs. Changing to a smaller car can be a great way to reduce running costs, and as a happy by-product, it’ll also be easier to park and live with, particularly if you live in a busy city or town.
You don’t need to switch to a compact city car, either - it might be looking at a crossover or compact SUV, which could make that downsizing process easier.
You’d like something more powerful
Perhaps you’ve been driving your current car for a few years to reduce insurance premiums, or you could be looking at upgrading from your ‘first’ car. Either way, you could be looking for something with a little more power to make everyday driving a little easier.
It could also be the case that you’re looking for an out-and-out sports car, which is something that we’re also able to offer here at Prestige Cars Kent.
With a variety of great pre-owned cars, there’s no need to feel unhappy with your current car here at Prestige Cars Kent. So if you think now is the time to make the change, get in touch or check out our current stock to see what’s available today.
