4 Easy Ways to Upgrade Your Ride to Luxury Status

Many dream of having a luxury car, but oftentimes the six-figure price tag just doesn’t align with the household budget. Luckily, there are some simple ways you can freshen up your ride without breaking the bank. And if you feel like it’s time to upgrade your set of wheels completely, TrueCar Certified Dealers can help you get a luxury car for a great price.

 

Music to My Ears

A simple way to make an old car feel new again is to install a bumping surround sound system. An upgrade to your radio and speakers clocks in at around $150, making it an affordable way to raise your car clout. Try replacing your current set with a new pair that will elevate your commute karaoke sessions. This can improve the clarity and depth of the music, allowing you to flex your vocal range. Watch out, Beyoncé!

And while you’re at it, don’t forget a new radio to pair with the speakers. There are several in-dash radio options that come equipped with both navigation and radio services like Sirius XM. Additionally, most of these radios have Bluetooth capacities, so make sure you have a passenger who can double as your DJ.

 

Paint My Ride

Regret the color choice on your car? Not all car trends age gracefully – we’re looking at you, metallic green paint job. Luckily, you can leave that color choice in the 90s and upgrade to something a bit more modern. Not only will your car feel refreshed and renewed, but you can finally get the paint color you’ve always wanted.

A shiny new paint job can cost anywhere from $550 to $1,300. If you’re really looking to add some luxury, spring for the mid or high-level paint. Single-coat synthetic enamel paint has the tendency to come off as flat.

 

New Seats, New Me

Okay, whose interior isn’t in need of a good, deep clean? With the amount of time we spend in our car, it is normal to find a few old candy wrappers hiding here and there. But if you need a bigger overhaul than some scrubbing can provide, you might want to look into reupholstering your car seats and adding new interior carpets.

This doesn’t have to be a DIY project, as most custom car shops offer this service for around $2,500. While this is a steeper price point, a cozy new interior can completely upgrade your ride and allow you to customize your digs.

 

“Used” is the New “New”

Sometimes you have to face the music. If you’ve realized that it’s time to just get a new ride altogether, TrueCar Certified Dealers have a wide selection of used luxury cars that won’t break your budget. You can search for any model that meets your luxury requirements, from Jaguar F-Type to Honda Odyssey Elite to GMC Sierra Denali.

The best part? By using TrueCar, you can receive a TruePrice*: the upfront, actual price you’ll pay excluding tax, title, license, or governmental fees.
