I have a couple older cars that get very limited use. I make sure they have a stabilizer in the gas tank (Sta Bil at WalMart) and a battery tender connected. Leaving a car for several months like this is not a problem. This is the same thing I do for my boat that sits for about 8 months Starting a car and running it for a few minutes does more harm than good. If you are not going to start it and run it at temperature to get the moisture out, don't start it.
