Climate and storage
The car lived in Chicago and Milwaukee from 2007 to 2018, both regions that salt roads in winter. Nothing in the documents says whether it was driven or stored over winter. The move to California in 2018 is good news for the future, but it does not undo earlier exposure.
What to ask the seller
- Was the car driven in winter in Illinois or Wisconsin?
- What happened during the 14 month service gap?
- Have the coolant pipes been pinned or replaced?
- When was the Tiptronic fluid last changed?
What a specialist should check
- Underbody, suspension mounts and brake lines for corrosion.
- Coolant pipe joints for seepage.
- Transmission fluid condition and shift quality.
- Leak down and compression test.
