Lexus IS250 maintenance?

Question

hi there. i own a 2007 Lexus IS250 black color. i bought the car brand new on 30th august 2007. i am planning to go on a vacation over the summer for almost 2 and half months.

i dont have enough space to fit my car in the garage so i will have to keep the car out in the sun the whole summer. i am confused of what will be the best way to keep it. should i use a car cover or anything else? should i keep the windows open for ventilation? if i do then if it rains nobody will be there to close it. also, the battery is gonna die. will it be covered under warranty? in one word, there will be nobody using the car for the whole summer and it will just stay there on the parking. please tell me what will be the best things to do to keep the car safe and causing no harm. thanks for your advice.

Answer 1

Wash and wax it before you go and buy a protected car cover that has good ventilation and as for the battery I would leave it connected for protection against thief due to the vehicles security system also don't leave a window cracked open, instead start the car and put the a/c controls to the vent mode and this way you will have air moving through the car.

Answer 2

2 months wont do anything to it.u can have the windows up too.but try to keep it in some shade if u can.its new so u will have no problems,especially in summer.

Answer 3

Have you considered putting it in a storage garage . It'd be out of the sun and kept dry. I would think it would be worth the cost. And safe from harm.
