Need advice... car coming out of storage heading to AZ!
I am finally geting my car back...after almost three years in the Land of the Rising Sun I am heading back state side. My 03 GS 3 has been in storage for three years it has 11K and got the required service just before she went in. Do you think she will need to be serviced again after I take her out? Thoughts...
Also can anyone in the Tucson AZ area give me a heads-up on what to expect from the local dealer or . Reccoemndations for paint job and suspension install. Want to install some Tein CS's, UGO roof spoiler and TTE front lip spoiler, OEM HID.
I say take it in change the oil and such because it has been sitting so long fill it up with premium octane gas and drive it easy for a few miles... on the miles though
You probably won't need an new paint job since it has been garaged right? Was there someone that was able to start up the car and take around the block a few times while you were gone? I would definately do the oil change and probably flush the other fluids and top it off.

She was kept in an enclosed large storage area, car was started once a month, fluids checked and fuel stabilizer added when needed and the car moved (how far if at all I have no idea). The paint job was for the TTE lip spoiler and UGO roof spoiler. Fluid change sounds like the consensus.

I am loving the mileage . However my wife will be leaving in Jul to get the kids in school as I am not scheduled to leave until Sep/Oct. I bought the car in Guam and the farthest I ever drove it was maybe 60 miles round trip. I was looking forward to taking her for her first cross state run but it won't be me. Just ordered the wife a Volvo XC 90 and it won't be delivered until Oct so she will be will be picking up the GS in LA when she arrives and drive the 500 miles to Tucson.
change oil, check battery, tire pressure, and maybe all fluids from the engine to the rear diff. three years is a long time.. all that fluid has been sitting.. GL..
welcome back to the states. as others have suggested, i'd take it in to have the fluids replaced. you may end up needing the battery replaced as well (unless it was removed for/during storage).

[quote=is300soon;2663609]if the car was moved once a month id be worried about flat spots on the tires.... once a month for a few minutes isn't enough..
Agreed! New wheels and tires are in storage down stairs
