Question type: Maintenance & Repair
Bought my 2008 Galant from Enterprise in 2009 with 50,000 miles, now has
154,912 miles mostly highway miles driving from NC to VA, SC, GA, TN. Not
sure if its a ES or DE. Relocating from NC to ND next month and will be
driving pulling 900lbs (760 tow wt camper and 200+lbs of stuff). Wanna make
sure I can make it there and I can survive the harsh winter

Keep you car washed to prevent corrosion.

Hi Mark Thanks for the reply. Saddly, I have not been good with keeping it washed. Averaging twice every 1.5 years. :-\ Yea its bad, I know. But am trying to do better.
TravelGryl- cars are a really big investment. See if you can get in the habit of washing your next car once a year? It may be too late for this car, especially with so many miles on your car. Of course you may want to get it repainted? Hopefully the interior is in in excellent condition? I had an old 1995 Honda Accord for 19 years and it was in remarkable condition and when I sold it, I got $3,000 for the car. So, condition is really the best way to protect your investment.
