2014 nissan altima for sale kirkland seattle tacoma washingtonDear Patrick,

I’m getting ready to buy a car without my parents’ help for the first time. It’s a pre-owned Nissan Altima. I’ve also never bought my own insurance, and I am confused. What won’t it cover?

-Daniel

Hey Daniel,

Welcome to the world of car ownership! This is a memorable moment in your life. I’m happy to help.

First and foremost, auto coverage is required by every state in America. It is not only a necessity, but it’s also a great way to get your sweet new ride fixed in case of an accident. Many insurances handle the cost of repairs in a fender bender. However, they won’t foot the bill for everything.

For example, a trip to the mechanic for a tune-up is considered general wear and tear. That type of service will not be part of your policy. Same goes for buying a fresh set of tires. Treads are among the usual upkeep expected of owners, even if it’s a safety decision. However, this doesn’t mean you are out in the cold. If you purchase a new car down the road, you will find many warranties do cover things like batteries and wheels. Keep your eyes open for such deals.

Let me know if you have any other questions.
