How to Maintain Your Car's Value

Nissan Service

Purchasing a vehicle is one of the biggest investments most people make in their lifetime. While that’s the case, cars still lose value over time. New cars can lose more than 20 percent of their value in the first year they’re privately owned. There are ways to preserve your vehicle, such as by scheduling Nissan service at Sansone Nissan regularly. Here are some tips on how to maintain your car’s value.

Keep Up with Routine Maintenance 

Whether you purchase one of our new Nissan vehicles or a pre-owned model from Woodbridge, NJ Nissan dealership, you should make it a point to adhere to your car’s routine maintenance schedule. You can find that schedule in your owner’s manual.

Sticking to your automobile’s routine maintenance schedule is the most effective thing you can do to maintain your car’s resale value and prolong its working life. Service tasks like a Nissan oil change or a tire rotation can enhance your vehicle’s performance and maintain critical components, like the engine. They’ll also increase your car’s efficiency and prevent costly repairs. 

Document Maintenance 

To preserve your Nissan trade-in value, it’s wise to maintain a paper trail of the services performed on it. Having a complete set of service records can drive up the price you command for your vehicle because this will prove that your automobile has been well cared for. It’s not just the mechanical services you should keep track of. Keep receipts every time you have your vehicle washed, waxed, and detailed too. 

Keep Your Interior Clean 

It’s important that you keep your car’s cabin in good condition. Eating and drinking in your car can cause stains and leave unpleasant smells in the cabin, which can drive the value of your automobile in the wrong direction.

Vacuum your floor mats, wipe down your leather seats, and get your interior detailed once in a while in order to maintain your cabin. If you have a pet, we recommend getting seat covers to avoid scratches and tears.
