I will be leaving the country for a year....and i have a 2003 Lancer w/ 19000miles.....what do i need to do to properly store my car so it wont be complete **** when i get back?

 

Sell it.....it's not worth storing a Lancer for 1 yr. You can sell it now, get some money then come back and buy another one cheaper!

 

Have someone start it and/or drive it every now and then. A car cover and someone to check on it should suffice.

I dunno about selling cars to buy new ones back again. Mitsubishis do depreciate quickly so there may be some sense to it, but honestly I'm too lazy to check. Compare the price of a '02 now to what you'd get for the '03 and then what you paid new. I'm too tired to think.

EDIT: Oh yeah. Gonna move this to USLG since there's really nothing technical or engine specific in it.

 

sucks getting shipped off huh?
