Default Question???

I am going to live the country for 3 years, but want to keep my Audi. I will put her in the climate controled storage and buy a car cover.
Is there anything else should be done for such a long period of time?

Thanks

Default There are two ways to go about this ....

1. Have somebody use the car occasionally.

2. Pull and remove the battery, pull the spark plugs and shoot a little oil in the cylinder holes, add a fuel stabilizer and let it get into the entire fuel system, put the car on blocks to get the weight off the tires.

When you come back do an oil change fairly quickly. Get some new gas in there too.

I imagine there are things I forgot..search the Internet.

OOpps ... Third way, probably the best ... sell the car. What are the storage costs?

Agree: sell the car, put money on FDIC insured savings account, then buy another one.

Default Re: I like this car....

It has only a 76k miles on it, 1992 FWD, AT. TAP cone filter, Clear corners, Thinted windows. Very good condition inside and out, California car.
How much I can get for it?
Storage would cost me about $50 a month.

Go to www.edmunds.com and appraise it. Options (TAP, clr corner) worth zero for resale.
