I'd make a little side wager that all of the '04's that have been sitting on the lot for 1.5 years develop engine problems within the first 6 months after purchase...
We all know how to store a car for a lengthy time... do you think the dealers took those precautions ? NOPE !!!
I see scored pistons, cracked rings and a multitude of valve and lifter problems...
Oh, that's a nice thing to read while I am sitting here perusing the forum. I bought my '04 just this past September because it had been sitting on a lot. My car seems to perform beautifully so far. Let's hope you are wrong with your assumptions. Let's hope I don't have scored pistons, cracked rings or multitude of valve and lifter problems. :P Think I will go to bed now. Don't wanna think about it.
Ahh, the uplifting feeling of coming to my favorite forum.
LOL Uh, anyone going to take him up on his wager? :-P
