Should I Repair or Replace My Vehicle?

Deciding between repairing your current vehicle or upgrading to a new Ford is a big decision. This choice goes beyond just the dollars and cents -- it means considering your daily driving needs, long-term goals and the quality of driving experience you want for you and your family.

Whether you're loyal to the rugged dependability of an F-150, inspired by the innovation of new Ford electric SUVs or interested in keeping your current ride on the road, our Ford dealer near Jacksonville offers the expertiseand inventory to help you make the right move.

Should I Keep Repairing My Car?

If your well-used Ford SUV, truck or sedan is needing more frequent attention, consider these key points when weighing auto repair costs against your vehicle's value and anticipated longevity:

  • Financial Implications vs. Current Worth: Take a close look at whether current or anticipated repairs justify continued investment, especially when compared to your car's market value. If repairs remain minor and your model retains good performance, it might make sense to continue maintaining it. Otherwise, trade up.
  • Frequency of Repairs: Constant trips to our Ford service center near Jacksonville can quickly add up, both in money and in lost time. If new problems are popping up with regularity, it may be wise to consider our updated inventory of new and pre-owned Ford
  • Condition & Mileage: Vehicles that are gently driven, with reasonable mileage and no major issues, may be worth continued service. Regular maintenance can keep them reliable and extend their useful life. Older vehicles are likely ready to be retired for something newer.

How Do I Know When I Need a New Car?

The advantages of a new Ford -- like advanced safety, fresh technology and peace of mind -- are always appealing. Consider upgrading if these factors matter to you:

  • Latest Features: Enjoy the confidence that comes with a new or late-model used Ford. Safety tech, comfort amenities and performance innovations found in today's cars will no doubt impress.
  • Trade-In Benefits: Make your upgrade more affordable when you value your trade with us. Your trade-in can significantly offset the price of your new Ford.
  • Hassle-Free Ownership: New and Certified Pre-Owned Ford vehicles offer lower maintenance and more predictable costs, plus comprehensive warranty coverage for extra peace of mind.
