Hi Gila-

re: possible issues w/ low mileage stored cars

appear the possible (-) issues would affect any stored/ low use automobiles regardless of manufacturer:

>battery acid leakage (assoc body damage/ corrosion)
>a/c seals drying out (internal)
>moisture/ humidity related damage/ corrosion: rust, rot, rubber deterioration, exhaust system deterioration
>engine related: ill effects of not having motor oil warmed to full operationg temp & circulated periodically, internal carbon build up due primary use being short city traffic trips
>suspension: bushing deterioration, shock deterioration
>HVAC: servos frozen due to lack of use
>window lifts/ sunroof mech frozen due to lack of use
>tire: flat spotting, deterioration
>depending on geographic climate and use: if salt is present on the undercarriage- it may deteriorate the undercarriage
>if the car is stored in high ambient temps (but inside a garage/structure), the heat may still dry out the leather interior/ plastic interior parts

these are off the top of my head- I'm sure folks can help chime in

hope this helps and best regards

d'autres francophones sur le site?
 

Salut Manu et EvoII,

Je me demande s'il y a d'autres francophones sur le site. Moi, je vis dans la region de San Francisco, mais j'ai fais mes etudes a Grenoble!

Vous avez peut-etre vu les photos de notre "reunion" (Northern California Meet) au mois de septembre. Venez nous rendre visite a SF ; on s'amuse bien la!

a plus,
Bob
