Is It Necessary to Buy a Car If You Don't Drive Often?

[VonIker]

For ordinary consumers, it is not necessary to buy a car because cars are meant to improve quality of life. If the car is not used frequently after purchase, then there is absolutely no need to buy one. Below are the reasons why buying a car may not be necessary: 1. Not driving for long periods can significantly affect the car: When a vehicle is parked for extended periods, the engine oil can oxidize, which may severely corrode mechanical parts; the car battery inevitably self-discharges when the vehicle is not started, leading not only to severe power loss over time but also shortening the battery's lifespan; prolonged parking can cause the vehicle's oil seals to age and leak; since tires are made of rubber, prolonged pressure on one spot can cause the part in contact with the ground to shrink and deform. If parked under poor conditions, tires may even burst, posing a significant threat to travel safety. 2. The longer the time, the higher the depreciation of the vehicle: Cars are consumable goods, and most vehicles begin to depreciate from the very first day they are driven off the lot.
