The Sweet Spot

Last month we had a customer who was booked in for a routine maintenance on her car.   She knew that in order to keep the car running she needed to have a transmission flush.   She booked the appointment for the end of may and then called us last week to say that she had decided to sell her car because doing the maintenance on her 4 year old car would still mean she had a 4 year old car.

Yes, that is true the car will not get any younger, but this customer has forgotten that by performing the regular maintenance on the 4 year old car would mean on average a cost of $1200.00 per year.    Purchasing a new car will mean a cost running anywhere from $4680.00 per year and up.   Just for the payments!  That doesn't include the cost of insuring a newer car.

So, in today's money conscious world, do you think the customer made the right decision?

We are biased here, but would love to hear your thoughts.

Until Tomorrow.
