Cars often become like a part of the family – especially the sports cars that give you so many thrills and so much adrenaline But unfortunately, all good things must come to an end The trick is knowing when to get rid of your car, and when it is salvageable There are general guidelines that a car is ready for the scrap heap, like rust, mounting small repair bills and those little noises you can’t quite identify However, there is also a host of other factors that come into play when deciding to upgrade a car We look at when your luxury car in Hong Kong is too old and some possibilities for upgrading depending on your needs
Changes in your own circumstances, such as an increasing family size (and an increasing need for safety), a change of address, even a change of workplace or career could signal that you need to change your car Hong Kong is highly industrialized, and most parking is in undercover spaces Big SUVs do not suit jobs or homes with underground carparks, and luxury sports cars sold in Hong Kong don’t fit families A move towards the standard family sedan is usual in either of these cases, and the Mercedes Benz E200, like your previous Hong Kong sports car, can still make you feel a million dollars – just in a more sedate, refined way! The 4 cylinder engine has Mercedes vehicles’ famous focus on efficiency, but retains its versatility with 135kW of power The Volvo XC70 is also great for those focused on all-round ease of use, with the abilities of an off-road vehicle and the comfort and maneuverability of a wagon
Gas expenses are another major reason for you to dump your car – the stop-start nature of driving in Hong Kong means that your actual MPG is usually at the higher end of a manufacturer’s given range So, the increasing cost of fuel has made some Hong Kong luxury sports cars out of the budget range of the ordinary person Look for innovative new technologies like Mercedes vehicle’s Bluetec diesel engines, or a new breed of hybrids that moves beyond the Toyota Prius, like the Lexus Hybrid Drive, and the Honda Civic Hybrid
Of course, if you aren’t an amateur mechanic, and don’t have the time or money to put into a car that needs more and more repairs, it is pretty obvious that it is time to get rid of your car You have the option of either selling it as a less than perfect vehicle for somebody to fix up, at a lower price, or spending that last bit of cash yourself and making a little more on the sale price If repairs have got you down, you’ll be looking for a reliable Hong Kong luxury car next time round The Mercedes Benz vehicle SLK was listed at number 25 of the top 100 most reliable cars of the last decade, with the new Mercedes signature seven speed auto gearbox and punchy V6 engine If your looking for sportiness to mix with your reliability, the BMW Z3 came in at number 47, and if you need a runabout, the Honda Accord came in at number 1
