When we buy a new car, most of us aren’t thinking ahead in terms of how we can maintain the value of our vehicle. Cardinale Mazda Salinas, your local Mazda auto dealer, suggests that you should change your mindset and be proactive from the time you drive your brand new vehicle off the lot. Immediately begin to examine ways in which you can maintain the vehicle’s maximum resale value.

Ways You Can Protect Your Investment
First of all, think of your car as an investment. Sure, it’s going to depreciate, but you can take steps to help improve its resale value down the road. For starters, keep a regular maintenance schedule. If you bring your vehicle to our Service department, our Service technicians can help you plan a schedule for your vehicle. Be sure to save receipts for all services such as oil changes, tune-ups, tire rotations and new tires. This will show that you’ve taken exemplary care of your vehicle. The best place to keep your receipts in your vehicle owner’s manual. Next, commit to keeping immaculate care of your vehicle. This means both the exterior and interior. Consider investing in seat covers to protect the seating and floor mats to keep the carpet cleaner. Regularly wash and wax your vehicle — by hand is better than a drive-through car wash. Finally, keep in mind that cigarette smoke lingers in the car’s interior and can be a deterrent to prospective future owners.
