Don’t just buy a used car for sale in Brisbane - get a maintenance plan too!

So you’re prepared to buy a used car for sale in Brisbane, and you just KNOW that you’ll take great care of the paint and interior down the road because you value your car’s shine and appearance. But what about everything else? Equally important to the head-turning looks that your new ride will produce is the multiple systems and parts under the hood - they need your attention too! Luckily you don’t have to be a mechanic to stay ahead of things though. The solution is to find a dealership when making your used vehicle purchase that offers extended maintenance and warranty programs.

It can be embarrassing, but losing track of time and forgetting to perform basic service items such as regular oil changes happens to many of us. The days are filled with work, family, and activities with friends so who has time to think about, let alone keep accurate track of, your car’s scheduled maintenance? Your local dealership, that’s who. They can help keep you on a path that not only will extend the overall life of your car but keep you from operating your vehicle in a dangerous condition as well. Worn tires, suspension parts, brakes, and other components can all affect how your vehicle performs in emergency situations. Why create needless risk while driving when you don’t need to? Trained mechanics at your dealer can inspect, repair, and certify the various systems on your vehicle giving you the peace of mind that things are in good working order.

One of the main reasons many people disregard the advantages of a dealership maintenance plan is price, and let’s face it, your vehicle purchase itself is a large investment so it’s completely understandable. But it’s also important to weigh the cost of a maintenance plan that includes things like oil changes, transmission filter replacements, and brake inspections against the pricing associated with the engine, transmission, and brake replacements should they fall into serious disrepair. An investment with your local dealership at the time of your purchase may save you from serious financial disaster later on. While it may be tough when initially thinking about whether you want to purchase such a plan, a better question really is can you afford not to. Another point to consider is if your dealer offers any programs that include tires or brakes “for life.” This type of plan can lock in today’s pricing on these items and save you money over time too. 

Purchasing a new ride can be an exciting experience, and while you may be eager to get your keys and drive off the lot, take the time to really think things through. When buying used cars for sale in Brisbane the smart choice is a maintenance plan that keeps your car in great shape so you can leave your worries at home when you drive away. Plan for longevity, plan for success, plan for safety with a dealership maintenance plan!
