When to Repair or Replace Your Buick Vehicle

If you’re finding that your Buick car is spending more time at our Buick service center than it is in your garage, you have likely contemplated replacing it with a new one. The decision between Buick repair and Buick replacement can be tough for Ottumwa drivers, as there are pros and cons to each side. Here at Vaughn Chevrolet Buick GMC, our dealers are happy to help make up your mind.

When to Repair
Even though the repair costs may be high, repairing is almost always less expensive than buying a new car. Even purchasing a reliable and affordable pre-owned car is more expensive than most repairs, so it is important to consider the price factor when making the decision. Here’s the case for repairing your Buick car.
• Faster than shopping for and buying a new vehicle
• The car’s history is known
• You won’t waste time selling your car
• No change in insurance costs

When to Replace
However, there comes a point where it is no longer worth it to pour money into an old car. When repair costs start to exceed the value of the vehicle or one year’s worth of monthly payments on a replacement, it is advisable to purchase a new car. Here are some more pros of replacement:
• Ability to drive the latest Buick models
• Recent cars can have advanced safety features
• Younger cars are more reliable
• You won’t spend as much time with your car at the mechanic
