The car has been running without repair for 5 years.
It is not always good when, when buying a new car (used car), the previous owner says that he has been driving for the past years (for example 5 years) and has not done anything to his car. -The car was excellent.-
This means that you, as the new car owner, will have a big investment ahead of you!
Starting with preventive maintenance of the brakes, then the running gear will definitely make itself felt and finally the maintenance of the car engine. If the car is used everyday, then it will be obvious that various components will be worn out and worn out. And all this will make itself felt very soon after purchase.
As a new car owner, your first impression will definitely be that the service center where you took your new foal wants to scam you, because it's impossible that the previous owner drove it and everything was fine, but now you have to fix everything.
Of course, it's hard to comprehend, but all of this is serious and needs to be fixed, so the first maintenance will immediately be more noticeable on your wallet.
Yes, there are possible success stories where nothing needs to be repaired in the first year, but believe us, there are very few of them.
Remember that few people will want to sell a good car.
This same story also applies to those car owners who choose not to use preventive maintenance, but only go to the service station when there are not only some unnecessary sounds, but also when "you can barely hold the steering wheel because it's pulling out of your hands."
We can say that we very often encounter "headaches" when we bring in a car because there are noises or the car has started to run worse. When we find out when the car was last serviced, the answer is often that - someone changed the oil and that's it. - And in this scenario, we can immediately say that the repair will definitely not be cheap.
With all this we want to say that you should treat your car with love. If you don't want all the defects to pile up at once, then we recommend that you check the rest once a year, or when changing the oil, and do it right away if necessary. Don't just drain the old oil and change the filter.
