I really hope long term storage isnt a problem. Thanks for the info!

I had my 1986 Z stored for 7 years with 186k miles. When I put it on sale, I had the fluids changed, a new battery put in and a full inspection done to it. The car started right up and the new owner loves it. Long term storage is not neccessarily a bad thing.

I stored a car for two years once. I changed all the fluids before storing it and added Stabil to the gas tank. Took the battery out and put it on a tender. After the two years, I hooked up the battery, turned the key, and it fired right up and ran like it did when I put it away.

Really? That's some good news for me! The owner is a women, the son took care of storing and says he properly stored it, and upon taking it out, he drained gas and did the necessary changes. I'm just trying to reassure everything before I purchase a car!
