Additional maintenance required for a vehicle that is hardly driven?
Greetings all,
I was just wondering what additional maintenance needs to be done on
vehicles that are hardly driven? I was just sitting here and thinking
about it and I believe I put 4,000 miles on one car and 3,000 miles on
the other car in one year's time.
On one vehicle, my Mustang, the miles were mostly long trips in excess
of 100 miles. On the other vehicle, my Civic, the miles were mostly
from short trips with an occasional 100+ mile trip. As the price of gas
went up, I left the Mustang at parked and started driving the 1997 Civic
more.
Regardless, I keep hearing that it is just as bad to not drive a car as
it is to drive a car and was wondering if I needed to do anything above
and beyond the regular maintenance that I perform on my cars now?
