subject: Guide To A Less Expensive Car Ownership [print this page] Many car owners have committed grave sins when it comes to insurance policies. Oozing with often-misplaced confidence that they wouldn't need repairs, the imperative coverage and plans are purposefully overlooked. This is true as well when it comes to people like you who have an expensive brand of wheels. They neglect to look deeper into the need for a safety net like car insurance, and often think that they can avoid such by being at a safer distance from danger, repairs and accidents.
But then, that is never the case because no car owner would know when such events would happen. It's only when the car breaks down and need a major mechanical overhaul that these neglectful people regret not getting the right policy. Yes, upon purchase of the insurance, they did save hundreds or more; but come the expenses for repair they'd have to spend thousands!
Now, imagine if it's only the car manufacturer who could efficiently undertake the needed repair? As it is, many brands need specific mechanical attention that only their manufacturing company would carry out. Just imagine the hassle and costs! Not to mention that you don't have a car policy that was specifically pointed out by the car dealer!
So where is this going? Here's a tenet of wisdom that any car owner should note seriously. Listen to your car manufacturer's advice about the policies they accept. It's not a lip-service for the insurance companies in most cases; their recommendation is about helping you save cash and sweat when your car needs repair.
The next rule about expensive car brands, or even with the not-so-posh automobiles, is getting the most reliable mechanic shops and skilled car repairmen. To avoid getting your car ripped of its precious parts, choose honest car repair shops, and always ask for receipts for everything that needs replacement. Some cautious vehicle owners would even buy the spare parts themselves to be sure they're getting the best quality. If you're thinking of the same, ask the mechanic for specifics of the spare parts so you won't purchase the wrong ones.
Other owners of really expensive car models jump on learning more about their priced possession. You could do so as well, starting with the engine makeup and compatibility of its parts with other models or brands. It's a wise move to know your wheels inside out as well to have specific routines on its maintenance, the appropriate repairs whenever you encounter any car trouble, and the spare parts that are likely to be refurbished periodically. This way, you won't have to get those expensive repairs and unnecessary replacement of parts.
So when the car manufacturer gives advice, listen and understand; when they give pamphlets and reading materials, as well as resources for insurance policies, read and learn. Most of all, equip yourself with updated information as this will mean a longer, cheaper and meaningful use of your luxurious car.
