It’s easy to get attached to your everyday drive, long after it’s time to move on. How do you know when it’s time to trade in the old model and buy a new Subaru vehicle? Keep an eye out for these signs, which could signal that it’s time to visit Heritage Subaru Catonsville.
You’re Spending Too Much on Repairs
At some point, repairs for an older car will add up to more than the car is currently worth. Once your car has lost that much value, getting maintenance is just throwing good money after bad. If major repairs start costing more than your vehicle’s current value, it may be time to move on to a new Subaru model.
Insurance Costs Keep Rising
No matter how carefully you drive, an older car will be more expensive to insure. Not only do parts wear out as you drive, but older models also don’t have the contemporary safety features of modern vehicles, like Subaru EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology, which can help reduce collision risk. When you’re considering whether it’s an affordable time for a new car, make sure to factor in how lower insurance costs may affect your budget.
It Doesn’t Fit Your Lifestyle
If you have a growing family on the way, you need a vehicle with enough space for everyone. A sedan may be big enough for your commute, but when it’s time for the school drop-off, you’ll want the extra space the 2026 Subaru Outback offers. With the 2026 Subaru Ascent, you’ll have space for up to eight passengers, so no matter how much your family grows, everyone has room.
