Hi,

im wondering right now if it worth for me to store my bonny for winter, im looking for a 500-1000$ can crap car.

because winter here in canda are pretty hard on vehicule, but if i buy another car ill dont have the money until next spring to do my rocker 1.9 and PCM .

and i have to look what can i do with insurance to do it for less$$ as possible.
i think that if i use the car this winter ill be good for a new paintjob next year or the next.

ill store the car outside in the parking where i work, any advice on how to store it?
ill cover the car.


any advice welcome

A good and bad. The good is that your Bonne will be in good shape next spring. The bad is that if you buy a vehicle for 500-1000 just for the winter, it probably wont be a reliable mode of transportation, especially in winter.

Buy a *****'*...$60 a year for insurance.

plenty you can get reliable for the winter for that price range. as long as you only expect 1 winter out of it, maybe 2. If I were you, I'd save the money of storing it, and drive it, but use the money to wash it once a week or so. cover it when parked for long periods and stay on top on maintenance. If you were storing it inside, I might go the other direction on this one.

ok, right now its 50\50 , dont really know, temp go down to -35 and -40 here sometime, and i cant plug my car so, very bad when i start the car . And the slutch come in fenders and then freeze and everything come loose (plastic inside fender) + road rash

hood chip from sand on the road comin from other cars.. but i agree that il lsave money if i keep using it in winter.

and if i made an oil treatment for the car, its not recommended to wash the car if i remember?? correct me if im wrong.

keep giving me your opinion guys :?

Mine hasent seen snow sense '95, shes premo,

Park it dude!!!!!!!

mine will be park outside, cover. is it ok?
do i need something else?

and if i dont move the car , can it affect mechanic? brakes, suspension, engine parts...
from not moving it in many weather variations, from 0 celcius to -40 , rain, snow.

its for about 5 months.

(note that ill find something to cover the car)

All my bonnies have gone through Ontaio winters. I wash the salt off every chance I get in the winter including under the hood. No problems so far with either cars. if your car sits a long time your battery will weaken unless you run the car once a week or so. My advice is take your $500-1000 and change it into lots of quarters for car washes over the winter and drive the car (thats one good reason Pontiac gave you traction control and abs braking!).

time to battle it out with the winter rats

1000 is enough for a carwash every day for at least one winter
