With winter around the corner in most part of North America I don’t think it is a stretch to say, “should I buy a new car or just fix up my old one”? Driving in the winter can be very challenging and when snow storms hit it is not for the faint of heart. But the type of car you drive and the state of repair it is in can have a profound effect on how safe you driving travels will be. It may not be time yet to retire your ride, so then you can fix it up instead.
Buying a set of used tires is a great way to save money and also be much safer on the roads during the bad weather months. I personally only install used auto parts in all my cars because the cost savings is so great. I used to just leave my autos and trade them in every 3 years but for the past decade I have had one purchased car and I just repair it with affordable used parts as needed. This has saved me a ton of cash and my next car purchase in two years will be an even higher quality car because I am sure I can make it last, therefore getting the best value possible out of it.

When it comes time to get rid of your car because it is no longer drivable or not worth repairing then you have a couple of decisions to make. Firstly I would recommend you look for a local auto recycler that will dispose of your old vehicle in a ‘green’ manner. Next you might want to actually get a few bucks for your car and again there will be someone local that pays cash for your junk car.
If you are feeling generous you may even want to donate your old car to charity. What you do for this last one is contact your local recycler and authorize that the proceeds of the car are sent to a charity of your choice. In turn you will even get back a charitable donation receipt which you can use on your tax return.
