Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep®, and RAM vehicles are built to last. Trust us, we know. However, eventually there will come a day when it's time for you to let go of your daily driver and trade up for a brand-new model. Here are a few signs that it's time to trade in your old vehicle for a new one.

Cost Of Repairs

When your vehicle is spending more time in our service bay than your own driveway, it is no longer a wise investment. It makes sense to put money into your vehicle to keep it running safely and smoothly for as long as possible, but eventually, you will be putting more money into a vehicle than you would be spending on a new car payment. If you're at that point, it's time to get a new CDJR model.


High Value Of Trade-In

On the flip side, you may still have a vehicle in pretty good shape. Check the Blue Book Value of your vehicle. It's possible you could sell it for a good chunk of cash, put all of that toward a new vehicle (with the latest technologies and more efficient engine options), and get away with a super insignificant monthly car payment.

Safety Concerns

Older vehicles, though safe in their own right, may not be as safe as they used to be. Performance of systems degrades over time, and the advantages of driver-assist safety technologies should not be overlooked. If you have a vehicle without basic safety technologies like a rear backup camera, blind spot monitoring, automatic emergency braking, and lane keep assist, consider investing in a new vehicle that can better keep you and your loved ones safe.

Fuel Economy

If you drive a lot but have poor gas mileage on an older vehicle, consider trading up to a hybrid or electrified model from the CDJR lineup. You'll save money in the long run and do your part in the fight against our global climate crisis.
