Buying car thats been stored for 6 months
 

Hi guys,

Im looking at a P1 on Monday that has been stored in a garage last 6 months on a trickle charge. Is there any concerns you would have or things I should look out for?

Would it be wise to have it fully serviced after not being driven for so long?

Cheers

Well my car has been stored in my garage for the last 3 months on trickle charge and no issues at all!! Should be no probs!! Dont see why it would need serviced if its not being used mine certainly wont

- Seized brakes - esp the handbrake shoes.
- Stuck clutch.
- Perished tyres (if garage suffers damp).
- Recommend oil/filter, fual filter change and drain out old stale fuel and stick in new V-Power before starting, etc, etc...

Agree with the above if it hasn't been turned over in a while.

I work offshore for a minimum of 3 months at a time, this time my trip was 5 months and my car was only turned over a handful of times, so dont let storage of any car put you off.

I store my P1 over the winter, and no issues as I thoroughly warm it and move it a bit every 2 weeks. Better than more miles and salt. But the big thing is not that it is stored but that it has been done thoroughly. Good luck, as they are a fab car!

Thanks for replies :)
