California 2010, Dos and Don'ts

Congratulations, it sounds like you found a nice low mileage peach of a car. Pictures please?
The only don't I have for you is don't leave it for long periods without the battery conditioner plugged in. Batteries are expensive and letting them run down shortens the life considerably. If you choose to disconnect it, which is what I do, follow the reconnection procedure to allow the car to set itself up properly. A previous thread exists here where a member kindly posted the procedure.
Happy open top motoring.

 

^Good advice.

Drive it. Drive it often. Keep it on battery tender always. Ask how old battery is, if it's more than a few years old, replace it.

Congrats and don't forget the pictures!

Pretty F-car.

I'd replace the battery, but that is me. As far as the battery tender goes, if this is a weekend mostly car, I'd keep it on the tender always when not driving...T

 

Congratulations!
Enjoy

 

Wait 5 seconds after you turn the key before hitting the start button, you should hear a few beeps when it’s ready. Hitting start too quickly can cause weird errors to pop up because the various ECUs were not done checking in before startup.

Any random strangeness you encounter, first step is shut the car off, wait 30 seconds and restart. If that doesn’t work, disconnect the negative battery terminal for a few minutes and try again. If that doesn’t work post here

Have fun! The more you drive it, the happier the car will be.

 

Don’t wear dark blue jeans!

 

Congratulations, she's a beauty. Treat the window lift switches very delicately, because they will break easily if too much pressure is used repeatedly.

 

My first Cali was a 2010 that I put over 30,000 miles on in the first 1.5 years. The battery was never an issue because I drove it every day, with SottoZero tires in the winter too. I always started the car to put the top up and down, and I suggest doing that. I had a 2012 Cali, later a Cali T, and now have a Portofino. In all those cars I only had a hole in one radiator, and one current sensor failure in the top in one. They are tremendous daily drivers!
