Should you get into a new car for the new year?

 So a new year has arrived and it's time for a new you... but is your car going to be able to come along for the ride? It may be time to get yourself behind the wheel of a new car, and our N Charlotte Toyota dealership is here to help you figure out whether or not you should sign the dotted line in 2022. Here are four telltale signs it's time to trade in, trade up, and spend the new year in a new car. 

Four signs you need to get into a new car this year 

#1: You feel like all you do is stop at the gas station. Does it feel like the gas station is your second home? If you're spending a ton of money on fuel, it may be time to swap into something more efficient. Toyota of N Charlotte has tons of fuel-efficient new cars on the lot, both hybrid and non-hybrid. For example, our new Toyota Corolla Hybrid gets 53/53 mpg! Save more money in the new year and check out our efficient new Toyotas. 

#2: You're about to start a new phase of life. Is your life about to change in a big way? Maybe you're about to start a family and want something more kid-friendly. Or maybe you're kicking off your career with a job that's a bit of a commute and you need something more efficient and reliable for the drive. Whatever your new phase is, buying a new car can make it a lot easier to transition. 

#3: Your current car is a money pit. If you're constantly shelling out for maintenance and repairs just to keep your current car up and running, then it's time for an upgrade. After all, it gets to the point where you're spending more than the car is actually worth and that money would be better served toward a down payment on a new car. If you're unsure as to whether or not you should take the plunge, our vehicle upgrade department at Toyota of N Charlotte can help you decide. 

#4: You don't feel safe in your vehicle. Do you feel unsafe in your car? Whether it's due to a much-needed repair that you can't quite afford yet or the fact that it's super unreliable and you never know when it's going to leave you stranded, having an unsafe car is never a good time. If this is how you feel about your current ride, it might be time to consider upgrading into a new car.
