Ask a friend to start it up and run it for 15 minutes every week to 10 days to keep the engine lubed and the battery charged

Drive less. Get a tune up, in general use less gas.

If the car is well-maintained, then it should never go bad...............................................

As well as the above, make sure your tyres are inflated correctly.  Don't carry any unnecessary weight around in your car. If you have a roof rack fitted, remove it.\nWatch how you accelerate, if you put your foot to the floor you will be using more fuel.  Read the road ahead as far as you can see so that you are using forward thinking.  Doing this will alert you as to whether you are going to need to slow down, thus preventing sharp braking which for some strange reason, uses more fuel.  If it's possible where you live, go on an advanced driving course which will help you with the above (not saying you are a bad driver...just a suggestion)\n\nSome tips I just saw on a website.....\n\nHow can I save fuel?\n\n\nThere are many ways to reduce fuel consumption. Here's a few simple ones that will not only help you save fuel but could give your car a longer lifespan. \nDrive in a conservative manner \nAvoid hard acceleration and severe braking - brake evenly before a corner and accelerating evenly out of it. \nIf driving a manual, use the right gear at the right time - don't let your car labour in the wrong gear. \nAvoid driving in peak periods \nBuy a fuel-efficient car - it can save you a lot of money and spare the environment up to 20 tonnes of greenhouse gases over the life of a car. \nBuy a car that suits your needs - big and powerful cars use more fuel, so if you don't need the extra size and power, don't buy it. \nAvoid short trips - walk or cycle instead. \nPlan your trips - do a number of errands in one trip rather than several trips. \nService your car regularly \nDon't speed - at 110km/h your car uses up to 25 per cent more fuel than cruising at 90km/h. \nDon't idle for long periods - if possible, turn your engine off. \nLook after your car's tyres - keep them inflated to the most suitable pressure and make sure they're properly aligned. \nUse airconditioning sparingly \nTravel light - the more a car carries, the more fuel it uses.\n\n\nIf you do a Google search you will find many sites which offer constructive advice.\n\nBest of luck....

You really should try to sell it first. If it is a good-quality car, you can advertise online, in the newspaper, or in mailings such as pennysaver, etc.

None.  Fix your diet.  It's healthier and will last longer.

Since it has been 8months I doubt you will get anywhere with it. Not only that you have to prove that they knew about the damage....the court doest side on just assumptions. If I would you next time you buy a used car take it some place and get it looked over if the dealer ship wont allow it have the look it over and sign off that there is no damage. If you dont like this answer I would seek legal help!

yes, why have a car just sitting there collecting dust if you're not using it...use that extra money for something else.

Sell it on ebay if its some major brand like quaker state, pennzoil, castrol, or mobil, etc. I wouldn't use it of course, or open it if its still sealed.

I'd suggest you give up on wanting to buy a NEW car and buy a nice used car - pay CASH. Work your butt off and save money to buy it.

Because I'll bet you let it sit all summer without ever using it or charging it, right?\n\nLead-acid batteries have to be regularly discharged and recharged to retain their ability to work.  If you go two or three months just letting a battery sit, it's done for.\n\nAfter you buy your new one this year, and when the season is over, here's what you need to do:  every two weeks (at LEAST), fire up the snowmobile and run it for a while.  Then put the battery on an automated trickle-charger -- if you get one that has a "maintenance mode," so much the better, you can just leave it on all the time, and the charger will maintain the battery for you.\nIf you do the above, your battery will be ready to go the next winter, and will last at least 4-5 years, probably more.

Don't clean it.\n\nTake 10 sickdays off and come in with a tan.

Drink a lot of water (bottled), don't drive (u might lose your car), beware of thieves and cops (both are the same in some places)

Try looking up cleaning systems, best thing to do is make fliers for the car wash business, and go to business parks. Also do not hire people to wash the cars unless you are there. Word From The Wise
