Maintaining my Weekend 996 C4S
CSSSS replied to CSSSS's topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
Thanks so much for you OPINION...I think it makes much sense! Fortunately, (knock on wood), there are no current issues. But I think I agree that this is the best practice going forward. Maybe even shoot for 20 mi. Thanks! -
I'm enjoying my 6th Porsche since my first in 1980. While I drove my previous cars regularly, my current Porsche, a 2002 C4S Tiptronic Carrera Coupe with 21k miles, sits in my Orange County, CA garage during the week and is only driven (by me), on weekends. In fact, sometimes I let it sit for two or three weeks between drives. I keep it washed, waxed, & under cover, but lately have become concerned that I may need to take it out more often. I bought the 996 from an enthusiast who bought it new from Beverly Hills Porsche, and basically drove it weekends for 5 1/2years. It was always garaged & has never seen rain; then or now. It really is a great candidate for a councors competition with no flaws, & it runs perfectly. When I bought it, I had it checked out first by a Porsche Tech who completely went throught it. It needed nothing, & according to the computer had never been driven erradically. I change the oil at least annually whether needed or not, move the car weekly to save the tires, and drive it for at least an hour when I do take it out. And I am trying to do so every week to ten days, with a few slip ups. I also use a battery maintainer. My concern is that I may not be driving my car enough. I would appreaciate any input on the best use schedule for my 996 that allows me to keep it a low mileage car without running the risk of damaging it. Also the details of the best way to drive it given this limited schedule would be apprecaited, & any other suggestions. Thanks in advance!
