Nwa Teacher: I park my Ml 320 SUV for 3years now since i'm not in d country to use it. Although i romove all the four tyres and hang it with a stone in my car garage. But i didn't remove the battery and the car hasn't start to warm since dat last 3 years. I want to know how bad is it to the carIf you had sold the car and invested the money for 3 years you should be thinking of buying a newer version of the car by now. |

exxell: Please, how is this suppossed to make front page? Oga Siena, there are other useful threads in the car section worthy of the front page. When the guy bought the car, did he contact Nairalanders? Nay! When he was parking the car, did he contact Nairalanders? Nay! Why then will he contact us after three years to know if it is proper or not? I dont see any logic in that. Your answer to the guy should have been the main topic. I know most people will come here to insult me now... But am already with my magic wand in front of my laptop. Am watching comments closely....ah ah??!!!! abi OP knack your wife kpekus? which kain vexing come be this one? |

My own car, an EOD would be parked for only a week, and the back tyre would no longer roll. This had happened thrice this year, thus my mechanic has to come and loose the pads and fix it back for it to come back to life. What would be the cause of this? |

That's something I forgot to address earlier. When a car is laid up for an extended period of time, it's wise to leace the handbrake off. Otherwise it can seize up, and be a pain to free off. Simply engage P on automatics, or 1st on manuals. |

Siena: Fine i will do just that, and get back to you after another week. |

9jadelta: invest it in what exactly?Investment is all about risk taking, calculated risk. Make sure you take into account all the risks involved in the risks you're about to take so you don't lose everything you've laboured to acquire. |

Information is never old until it is read by the last person(and who?) I found it very very useful as a learner, so would many after me. Those greedy elements who want it reserved for them only should keep to themselves the little they know- we don't need it. The empty barrel makes the loudest noise. Thank you. |
Re: Is It Proper To Park A Car For 3years by kingschild123(m): 3:08pm On Jul 14, 2013 |
The cars would need to be driven more often than every 3-4 months. More like every 3-4 weeks. I'd say store for one year, but no longer. Two years is too long |
