Here at Fields BMW Northfield, you'll find plenty of reliable pre-owned luxury cars that you can lease or buy. There are many good reasons to buy a pre-owned BMW, but some drivers worry about how long some of these models have to live.
Fortunately, most of them are well-equipped to live long and productive lives, but you can also do a few things to ensure that they last even longer.
Focus on Proper Car Care
Sticking to a maintenance schedule is one of the best ways to make sure that your car lasts a long time. It's important to know when you need oil changes, tire rotations, and belt replacements and to never delay when you need a repair. Small problems can easily become big, expensive issues quickly, and extensive damage stemming from neglect can easily result in a shorter lifespan for your vehicle.
Luckily, sticking to a routine maintenance schedule isn't hard, especially with the help of our mechanics. See what our BMW service center can do for you today.
Avoid Short Trips
Taking too many short trips can be bad for your vehicle. Try to be more efficient with your errands and short trips around town so that you're not constantly doing “cold starts” that can wear down your engine. Also, try to get some longer trips in when you can.
Practice Safe Driving Habits
Safer driving habits can also extend the life of your vehicle. Aggressive or reckless driving can put you in danger, and it also puts undue stress on your vehicle. Your bad driving habits, like speeding or stopping short, could be wearing down your car parts faster and shortening the life of your vehicle.
