Long Term Storage Q's
 
Been on these forums for a while, but it may soon be time to let the AMG go. Ive had it for about 6-7 years and it has about 30k miles now. Recently, I just haven't had any time to drive the car and for the last 2 years I probably haven't even put 3,000 miles on it. It sits on a battery tender and I just wanted to know if there's any thing I should get serviced since it sits for months at times.

An oil change is due, but apart from that, are there any other fluids that should get flushed/changed? What should I get checked out to make sure everything is in working order?

I just want the new owner to have an impeccable car with no issues. Dont need him cursing me in his sleep if something catastrophic happens to it once he takes ownership of it. And IF I decide to keep it, I'll probably switch it over to my DD. So either way, I just want to make sure everything is cared for.

Thanks.

Long term storage (+12 months) is a different deal to very occasional driving, in general:
Long term storage: Change oil before starting vehicle and re-change after 50 miles, change brake fluid, complete tire inspection (Might need to replace), check battery condition.
Very occasional driving: Just follow normal service requirements, MB has got you covered
