It’s not hard to see the new appeal of a new car. Even if your existing ride is paid off and works fine, new cars offer fresh designs, groundbreaking tech, added performance and many novel features — many of which are added as much in order to keep customers coming back over and over again as for any practical reason. (Indeed, much of the car industry is predicated on keeping buyers in fresh metal; that’s a significant reason manufacturers are offering buyers payment deferments and extended 0 percent financing right now.)
But if you are sticking with your old ride, there are plenty ways to make it feel more luxurious, technologically updated and more functional without dropping a ton of money.
Below are five ways you can update your car and make it feel fresh — all while spending less than $100 on any of them.
Add a heated/massaging car seat cushion
Heated seats often mark the difference between base and higher-end trims in cars, while massaging seats are usually reserved for high-end luxury cars. This Sotion model on Amazon adds both to your existing ride for $50.
