Just remember, cars are meant to be driven.

Most cars, especially older/used cars, don't like to sit for 9 months out of the year. The ones that sit tend to develop more problems than those that get used regularly. Whatever you get, you should think about giving it a good drive at least once per week (10 to 20 miles minimum). Starting it up and driving it around the block isn't sufficient to get the fluids moving and keep everything lubricated and the battery charged. It needs to be driven at normal operating temperature for a while to keep it happy.

Otherwise, when the snow falls, and you go to drive your snow car, you might find it is a little grumpy from being ignored for 9 months.
