Is Your Garage Becoming a Storage Unit

Trade-In Time Might Be Here!

We all love the roar of vintage engines, the gleam of chrome, the memories attached to each classic car – National Car Collector's Day, celebrated on the second Friday of July, is a day for enthusiasts to revel in their automotive passions.

Hidden in Plain Sight: The Unintentional Car Collection

National Car Collector's Day celebrates the passion for classic cars, but let's face it, most of us aren't collectors. We simply have one car that serves our everyday needs. However, over time, that car might transform from a reliable companion to an unintentional burden without you even realizing it. So, how do you know if it's time to consider a trade-in?

5 Signs It's Time To Sell Your Car

  • The Garage is Overflowing: Is your once-organized garage now a battleground for bikes, boxes, and your car? When your car never moves it's a sign it might be time to trade it in.

  • Your Mechanic Is On Speed Dial: Does your car seem to require more repairs than ever before? Constant maintenance not only drains your time and energy but also eats into your budget.

  • The Gas Gauge is Always on Empty: Are you constantly filling up your car, only to see the needle drop faster than ever? Consider trading in for a more fuel-efficient vehicle and save money at the pump.

  • The "Someday" Project Never Comes: Is your car just watching the grass grow in the driveway, waiting for that "someday" when you'll finally fix it? A car that sits unused isn't just depreciating – it's taking up valuable space and resources.

  • Your Needs Have Evolved: Did your family grow, your commute change, or your driving habits shift? Holding onto a car that no longer meets your current needs can be inconvenient and limit your options.

  • You're Waiting For A Stranger To Offer You A Million Bucks

If you can get a million bucks for your car we say go for it. In the meantime, bring it in so we can take a look at it. We will give you a fair price for your car and take care of the paperwork. 

When you drive off in your new shiny car you'll feel like a million bucks without the million-dollar price tag.

What's Next, A Flying Car

Will Electric Cars Will Become Yesterday's News

Technology never stands still for long and, as anyone who's been paying attention to the automotive industry over the past few years will know, electric cars are very much the future. But what's next?

One area that is currently being explored is the possibility of flying cars. That's right, flying cars! While it may sound like something straight out of The Jetsons, there are a number of companies working on this incredible technology and it may not be as far-fetched as you might think.

Here's a headline from a recently published article from Car and Driver

Hyundai Subsidiary Unveils Flying Car Concept That Could Fly U.S. Skies by 2028

"Hyundai is also investing heavily in the nascent industry, launching a U.S.-based subsidiary called Supernal last November to focus on the so-called "Advanced Air Mobility market.” Now, Supernal has unveiled its eVTOL Vehicle Cabin concept at the Farnborough International Airshow in England, showing what the passenger compartment inside its upcoming intra-city air shuttle could look like."

Don't Count On Getting Frequent Flier Miles Just Yet

In addition to the technical hurdles that need to be overcome, there are also a number of regulatory issues that need to be sorted out before flying cars become a reality. Just like most industries I'm sure that traditional airlines are not going to be too thrilled about the idea of having competition from flying cars.

And then there's the question of whether or not people are actually going to want to fly in a car. I have to admit that the idea of getting stuck in traffic on the freeway is not all that appealing, but then again neither is being crammed into a metal tube with a bunch of strangers for hours on end.

Flying cars would obviously have a lot of advantages over traditional ground-based vehicles. For one, they would be able to avoid traffic jams and get from A to B much quicker. They would also be able to park in a lot less space and, perhaps most importantly, they would be a lot of fun!
