Buying A Car That's Been Sitting For 7 Years

[Boosted92LX]

VERY pretty car. Congrats on getting her back. I sold one years ago and tried to get it back, only to have the guy try to take advantage of me wanting it so badly. I showed up with a trailer and he went back on our agreed price and wanted a thousand bucks more. Told him to stick it and went home.

To me the key to letting a car sit up for years is to prep it properly.
Gotta get every bit of gas out of it and get the car out of the sun.
Those are the 2 biggies I will never forget if I put a car into storage.

My biggest concern going in to this was the fuel possibly being gummed up all through the system. Luckily, the owner treated with Sta-Bil and despite not driving the car, the owner did start the car and let it run twice a month. I dodged a bullet!
