Post Car purchase question Need Help

Hello, I've just joined this site as I'm looking to buy an S2 and have a question. Hope you guys can help. Also, I've searched but can't find any topics that cover this (Not sure if I'm searching right).

Basically I'm looking to buy a car that has been sitting in this guys garage un-driven for about 4 months. I always thought you had to start them up every couple of weeks to keep them running well?!? Is there anything I should look out for? Standard problems?? Or is this not a problem apart from the battery?

Any help greatly appreciated.



Cheers

If you like the car, go for it. I store mine for 6 months every year. I do not start it during that time. Charge the battery and it should fire right up. Might want to check the oil level and tire pressures too.
