Get the Most Value out of your Car
Aside from a house, your car is one of the biggest investments you make. Unfortunately itâs going to depreciate no matter what, but in the mean time you should be getting the most value out of your vehicle. This could mean anything from small car improvements to driving your car while using it to get a car title loan at the same time. Whatever the make and model, here are some tips on how to get the most out of your vehicle.
1. Clean your Car
Before we even begin with anything else, the first thing you need to do to get more value out of your car is to get rid of any junk in the trunk and give your car a deep clean. Stop using your car as a storage space, throw away any trash and grab a hose and a vacuum to clean the inside and the outside of your car.
This is not only about you and your passengers enjoying a clean car, but about its MPG. The weight of any extra stuff in your vehicle can really add up to affect your carâs mileage, handling, braking distance, etc. Getting the most value out of your car means getting the most miles per gallon.
Cleaning the exterior and interior of your car is also important to maintain its condition. Especially if you live somewhere where they salt the road in the winters, car washes are important to avoid rust, a value killer, on the exterior.

2. Check your Tires
According to the US Department of Energy, every number the PSI (Pounds per Square Inch) drops in the pressure of the tires is going to lower your carâs gas mileage by 0.4 percent. To avoid this, check your tire pressure regularly. Inflate them when you need to so that your tires are always at the manufacturerâs recommended PSI.
If your tires need to be replaced, it is important that you do even if it isnât cheap. New tires are one of the best ways to both improve the performance and appearance of your car.
Get your tires rotated and balanced, and your alignment checked. You can make your tires last longer by getting them rotated and balanced. Your alignment is also important and easily fixed if itâs off.
3. Service your Car
When the check engine light comes on shouldnât be the only time you visit a garage. Regular and preventative maintenance can help your maintain the value of your car and prevent more expensive repairs down the line. Taking care of your car means taking care of the engine, exhaust, brakes, lights, tires, interior, etc.
Check your carâs ownerâs manual for the specific recommendations (theyâre there for a reason) for what it needs and when. This includes how to check the fluids, when to change the oil, oil filter, engine air filter and what types are best.
4. Store your Car Right
Itâs important to take care of your car when youâre not driving it, too. When going unused, make sure your car is covered (and indoors if possible) to prevent prolonged exposure to sun, heat, cold, snow and animals. When leaving your car sit for an extended period, make sure you start it every so often to keep the battery fresh.
5. Consider a Car Title Loan
An auto title loan might be able to help you get the most out of your car when it comes to money, without selling it. When you need a loan, you can use the value of your vehicle to get it.
