The Best Add-Ons For Your New Vehicle
When buying or leasing a new vehicle we are all faced with having to choose from a seemingly never ending list of add-ons. Sometimes we enjoy the extra things because they fit our lifestyle, but not be worth the extra money to someone else. Sure, it might be nice to have a keyless entry system or state-of-the-art sound system, but how can you be sure that you are getting the most value for each dollar? The last thing that you want when you walk into a dealership is to have the add-on costs steadily climb out of reach of your budget, and a few points of consideration can help you decide which add-ons might be right for you.
Another thing to keep in mind is whether or not you intend to keep the car for a long period of time as well as how much time you spend in your vehicle on a regular basis. If you suffer from long commutes across the GTA or you’re in a profession that requires a lot of driving time, you might want to invest in a few extra details to make your vehicle more like a comfortable remote office. Leather interior or leather seats made and fitted by the manufacturer tend to offer great resale value, along with sun and moon roofs, which will often increase the resale price of most vehicles. Investing in some tech savvy features is also a good idea. Media players and GPS navigation systems both have good resale value and you will get use of them as well!
Consider upgrades that you might invest in later down the road and think about whether or not the car manufacturer can do a much better installation job than a hired contractor. Window tinting, for example, is one of those add-ons that are best to do up front and pay for the job to be done professionally, as we all know it’s far too common to see bubbled car windows on Toronto roads and it’s a mistake that can cost you when it comes to re-selling or trading in your vehicle. If you are looking to lease a car, keep in mind that most contracts do not allow for aftermarket upgrades, in order to avoid such negative impacts on your vehicle’s value. It is highly recommended that you get the features that are important to you right away. Other appropriate body kits such as bed-liners, fascias, grilles, step-bars, running boards, brush-guards, fog lights, and taillight treatments are also wise investments when installed properly.
