[QUOTE="ah lian, post: 117393, member: 925"] will share my experiences as mine was parked for 4 years in the car park. the car will prolly not drive as smooth (wot to expect) if left idle too long. can be slowly rectified with sufficient fun drives (to blast out the carbons) and lotsa oil changes. tires will be hardened and will need to be replaced if you value the miata and your life. first item to change. brakes may be not effective as the fluids would have moisture and also dirt by then. a good flush and perhaps change of hoses will do it wunders. transmission may be jerky a lil... but can be rectified with a good flush and replacement of tranny oils. the exhaust may be rusty.... oh well. time to change to something wid more zooooooom zooooooooooomm zooooooooooooommmm!!! :nyehehe: but, please look out for: 1. chasis rust. say no. 2. acid in the boot where the battery is. see how bad it is. 3. ball joints. get this checked by the mechanic. 4. clogged water. leaves and dirt might have gotten in. 5. signs of modification: changes in the engine. wirings that look untidy and new. 6. radiator changes 7. oil in the engine bay. oil on the underside of the bonnet. 8. others.
