Just because your car is brand new doesn't mean that it has to look used. Most of us grow tired of our used cars long before they are used up. There is no need to get rid of a car that is running well because it looks worn down or beat up. When given the right care, cars built in the last 10-15 years can run for 200,000 or even 300,000 miles.
Popular Mechanics lists many cheap and easy ways to make your car feel new again.
- Clean Everything- Taking your car to the car-wash is nice but an extremely detailed clean can make a car feel brand new. Shampoo the carpet and upholstery, clear out the trunk, remove seat cushions and clean every nook and cranny. VACUM.
- Fix the Cockpit- Focus on the areas you are actually touching. A steering wheel and dashboard cover can be a great investment. Make sure your dashboard illumination is up to par.
- Clear the Headlights- Vehicle built in the last couple decades usually have plastic composite headlamps that weather and dull over time. There are many headlight restoration kits on the market for under $30.
- Repair the A/C- Like a normal home air conditioner, you car's AC unit can suffer buildups of mold, mildew and bacteria. Cleaning out the system will bring in a cleaner flow of air and make your car's cabin much more enjoyable to be in.
- Rubber Repair- Most cars have a lot of rubber trim in various areas. Tears and wear on these rubber trims can lead to the common howling sound we often hear.
