Why spend tens of thousands of dollars on upkeep for your vintage SUV? When you could sell it for thousands of dollars. What motivates us to do it? It’s not for safety, and it’s certainly not for efficiency. But, I suppose some of us still believe in the old adage, “larger is better.” I believe that greater care equals more money, as more money is required to sustain it. Certain SUVs necessitate monthly repairs and investments in the tens of thousands of dollars. You now have the opportunity to say goodbye to that money pit and have it sold and picked up in less than 24 hours. Still not persuaded you should sell your SUV? The following are the challenges and costs associated with driving a used SUV:
The Problems with Used SUVs
“Well, certainly, a premium SUV won’t have any repair troubles,” some of you may be thinking.
Wrong.
Many luxury SUV models have engine and transmission difficulties. The BMW X5 not only has engine and transmission problems, but it also has regular engine oil leaks, causing water to pour into the vehicle. Furthermore, due to the X5’s construction, it has very low stability and a significant likelihood of toppling over. Who knew a high-end automobile could be a death trap? In the case of the Cadillac Escalade, in addition to early gearbox problems, it frequently breaks down, has heating and air conditioning issues that cost roughly $2,000, electronic display glitches, and troubles with the 4-wheel drive vehicles. I have a question for individuals who own an Escalade: is it worth it to show off if you only get 11 miles per gallon? Furthermore, just because your SUV is luxurious doesn’t mean it’s reliable.
Even if you don’t own a luxury SUV, the general upkeep for all SUVs is expensive. The majority of them have to be taken in for tune-ups every 10,000 miles, which costs between $100 and $200. They also need new brakes frequently, which cost an average of $300 per occurrence. So, over the span of approximately five years, you will be paying out several thousand dollars to keep your SUV in good condition.
