Default Need your inputs about the IS250

hey guys, i need a little advice. I might go out of town for about 2 month, and my 07 IS250 AWD with 12K on it will be stored in the underground parking of my condo. I'm going to unplug the battery so that it doesn't drain empty by the time I come back, is there anyother things I should do? Some ppl say i not good to leave the car there for too long, and no one is going to start my car every couple of weeks. So, will it be ok by just unplugging the battery? Thanks

not a good idea for unplugging the battery....your alarm will be disabled....

see if you can get someone to "baby-sit" your car?

your alarm consumes milliamps per hour. your battery won't die after 2 months. leave it and pray nobody messes with it.

after coming back when you go to start it, try to press the start button twice to "crank" the engine a bit before starting it. this will re-wet many dried components with minimal abrasion.

Just go on your trip and don't worry about it, leave the battery connected and you shouldn't have any problems when you get back. It's not something I would get all freaked out about.

its essentially a toyota.. you could leave the thing for 2 years and come back and it would likely start no problem :P
