Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Tyres will need to be replaced by then as they will be rock hard (should never drive on 10 year old tyres) so I wouldn't worry too much about them.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

hi all if one is storing a car for 10 years without driving it or starting it up, what problems are expected : engine, tyres etc on restarting the car in 10 years? obviously, it would be taken to a good mechanic/porsche specialist to get it all road ready etc also, anyone know any reputable and good long term storage options in Melb? any advices appreciated! thanks

POST 2Original post

I would strongly recommend having someone you trust maintain the car and drive it occasionally if it’s possible. I have done this for friends all be it they have only stored 6-12 months.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Cheers and thanks Tips, it's really not good for the overall health of cars not to be driven for years is it. Just could be an issue of lack of available garage space etc but wanting to get another car...

POST 4Original post

Definitely drain the fuel. That will be a nasty mess after 10 years. Tyres will need to be replaced by then as they will be rock hard (should never drive on 10 year old tyres) so I wouldn't worry too much about them. Mostly just keep it dry and hopefully away from rodents.

POST 5Original post

Surely you will get parole before the full 10 years is up? Given the likely hassle and cost of storing a car that long, I'd sell it now, put the funds into a Vanguard ETF and buy what I want later.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hey, thanks folks, all very sensible and useful advice.....plan B find more garage space.....anyone here use any of those car storage services in Melbourne? ie Where you can access your car to drive it and it's stored hopefully ,securely , in the meantime

Remove the battery. A friend stores his car at a museum, on display.
