Picked up an AE!
Picked up an AE with super low miles last week (less than 1k on the odometer) . Long story short, she was part of a collection and I traded my mag red 02 to get her. What should I look for or worry since she was rarely driven in 4 years? By the way, already 4 coats of zaino and will add clear seal today.

Congrats on your AE 
But 1000 miles in four years can be bad for some cars. I don't know what it's called in english but there are a lot of things you could check, like seals,, maybe someone will step in and help

Congrats. After driving it, check for some leaking seals/gaskets.

The first thing to check on an AE with low miles like that is the shocks, make sure the shock stuffers are removed. If they are still there you should be able to see a yellow tab sticking out of the bottom of the shock boot.
Concrats on the purchase, my AE is about ready to turn over 58,000.
