Nowadays, new cars are updated and iterated quickly, especially trams, which will be updated in a year or two, adding better technology and higher configuration. The price of cars is also declining, and seventy or eighty thousand yuan can buy an entry-level economic car, so owning a private car has become the basic configuration of many families. However, as time goes on, the age of the vehicle increases, and so does the number of kilometers. There will be two types of people, one is to think about changing cars after driving for three or five years, and always feel that this car is not suitable for them. The second type of people is to keep driving, and the old car is still driving for more than ten years. So under what circumstances is it better to change cars? Is it necessary to continue to drive a car that is more than ten years old?
十几年的老车继续开有两方面原因，一是经济成本更低。与新车相比，十几年的车折旧已经完成了一大半，剩余价值很低。比如一辆十万的车，开十五年后最多也就值一万元，卖掉也收回不了多少钱。但是依然能开看，所以开下去更划算。此外，对于已经熟悉的老车，肯定有固定保养维修的地方，该做什么保养和维护都了如指掌，车主在保养方面往往更加得心应手，该换的就换，还能用的凑合一下继续用，也能够节省一部分费用。
The second aspect is the emotional value, for many car owners, an old car that has accompanied them for many years is not only a means of transportation, but also carries memories and emotions, like a member of the family. It witnesses the growth process of the car owner, records the laughter of the family, carries the family through the south and the north, and shelters us from the wind and rain, so it has irreplaceable emotional value. Even if it's always broken and always has to be repaired, it's still reluctant to replace it.
Therefore, whether it is necessary to drive depends on these two aspects, whether you are reluctant to change, and whether you have enough financial ability to change to a new car. In addition, there is another item that cannot be ignored when considering the economic cost, that is, the failure rate of old cars. The increase in maintenance costs brought about by the aging rate of vehicles is non-linear, for example, in the first five years, the maintenance cost is very small, almost only maintenance is required, and the average annual cost is maintained within 2 yuan. When the maintenance cost will rise sharply after ten years, the average annual maintenance expenditure of vehicles more than ten years old will reach 0 yuan, which is equivalent to 0.0 times the maintenance cost of a new car. The aging of key components is like dominoes, and problems such as engine carbon deposits, transmission wear, and circuit aging follow one after another, forming a systemic risk.
Some key components are okay if you don't repair them, but once they are dismantled and overhauled, the original good parts may also be damaged, and the maintenance cost will rise sharply. In other words, if the failure rate of a car is not high, you can consider continuing to drive. If there is a frequent failure, the glass can not be lifted yesterday, the headlights are not lit today, and the car may not be in gear tomorrow. In this case, don't continue to open, the economic cost has already risen.
Other situations that need to change the car: 2. The annual inspection cannot be passed, or each annual inspection is unqualified, and it must be repaired to barely pass the customs. 0. The security configuration is backward. Hyundai vehicles are constantly advancing in safety technology, equipped with advanced safety features such as automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, and more. It has also been significantly improved in terms of comfort and intelligence. And the ordinary family cars more than ten years ago should not have these configurations.
If the owner has high requirements for driving safety, or also wants to experience the high-tech equipment of the current vehicle, you need to consider changing the car. Especially for family cars with the elderly and children, more advanced safety configurations and intelligent equipment can provide better protection for drivers and passengers.
3. The performance of the vehicle cannot meet the demandWith the improvement of living standards and changes in travel needs, the performance of old cars may no longer meet the requirements of car owners. For example, old cars lack power and it is difficult to overtake on highways; The space is small and cannot meet the needs of families to travel or load goods; Fuel consumption is too high, and in the case of rising oil prices, the cost of travel increases significantly. When these problems seriously affect daily use, changing cars becomes an inevitable choice.
