Taking Care of Your Used Car

Taking Care of Your Used Car: After thinking about the time and money spent buying, and maintaining a used car. It should come as no surprise that, for many of us, buying a Japan used car could be the 2nd-biggest purchase that we’ll ever make.

Certainly, transportation is important, whether for family or for work, but transportation doesn’t take care of itself. Purchasing a used car is the start of a hopefully long connection, as long as you look after your purchase.

Select a Vehicle Best Fit for You

One small part of that long connection has to do with the brand. Typically, better brands are more costly because they are made from better parts. In the case of used cars, you can expect to spend far more money maintaining. Repairing a cheap car than if you had purchased a slightly-more-expensive car, to begin with.

Another small part of that long connection starts with purchasing a properly equipped used car. For example, you do not need to buy a half-tonne pickup for family transportation, but you could. The family might not be entirely comfortable, but the truck could manage it. On the other hand, you wouldn’t buy a sedan or an MPV, as it simply isn’t invented for that kind of abuse. When buying a used car, consider how you expect to use it. and purchase something designed for the task at hand.

Get Your Car Checked

By far, the biggest part of having a long connection with your new used vehicle is maintenance. The 1st thing you should do with your used car purchase, preferably within the 1st week, is to bring it to your trusted automobile technician. Paying him for an hour of his time to take a good look at your used car can help to expose obstacles that you may not even be aware of yet.

If it hasn’t already been done, replace the engine oil and the oil filter, as well as the transmission and differential fluids, depending on mileage and condition. One might do well with a new pair of wiper blades, engine air filter, and topping off critical fluids. Investigation of tires, brakes, suspension, steering should be tops on your list of things to check.

Schedule Regular Maintenance

Frequent and proper maintenance is key to the longevity of your used car and should not be overlooked. For example, most advanced automobile manufacturers advise engine oil filter changes every 7,500 km for regular driving habits.

Some people have gotten into the habit of replacing the engine oil “whenever I get around to it”. When the engine oil turns black,” but they don’t realize the damage they’ve done to the engine. Properly maintained, engines made in the last fifteen years should not be burning oil. Some even top half-a-million kilometres before needing any major engine work.
