Need to park my Z for 6 months. Any problem?

zcarspirit · 11-04-2014, 06:59 AM

Bought my 2014 Z this summer.

Have to park my Z for 6 months due to vacation aboard.

Is it going to do any damages to the car after 6 months of storage?

What should I do when I come back from the vacation?? any tips?

Thanks a lot.

Should be fine. Disconnect your battery, and fill up your gas tank.
Maybe add some gas stabelizer to your gas.

Will you be parking it in an open or closed garage?

Usually when my friends say their going on "vacation" and it's 6 plus months, that means locked up. Just sayin.

Some people on here barely have any mileage on their cars, you will have no issues letting it sit for 6 months.

I'm sure there's many Z's that have sat on dealer lots for longer than that...

I had only about 800miles on my z

It's painful not being able to drive her for 6months

I miss her every single day :-(((((((

Nice,my sister is a photographer. She just got picked by David Suzuki to do a photo shoot of his conference and some personal pics! Man,the amount of money to shell out for all that camera equipment is just insane!
Sorry,back on topic gentlemen.
