If you don't mind me asking, how'd you go about getting that rental from them (year/mileage of your IS?). I'm trying to decide if I want to ask my dealer about it, I'm sure they're going to give me the run around on it though due to age and mileage.
Start the car every week or so, drive it around the block a few times to get it warmed up. Put the battery on a trickle charger, put the car on blocks so the tires don't get flat spots on them.

i went back to enterprise to make sure all paperwork was in order, and everything seems fine. Now I have a Ford Explorer limited edition.

i called my SA and asked for information on the recall since "not driving the car isn't practical. He said corporate informed him that Lexus IS paying 1000 per month towards a rental till the airbag is fixed. I went to enterprise told them about the recall which they were already aware of since 80% of the fleet is out. She said pick a car and they will directly bill Lexus of Akron canton. They had another guy coming from Lexus in PA to pick up a car. No pictures were taken no mileage recorded of my is350. They just handed me a car.

Well Enterprise rental costs are different at every location. I live in a small town, compared to LA and such. I'll be sure to double check with corporate but enterprise is directly billing Lexus. No middle man so I'm assuming they have it sorted.

Everything is handled by Lexus. I think you just show up to where the dealership tells you and move on from there. I will be getting my rental through Enterprise tomorrow as arranged by my dealership.

Got CT 200h which made my wife happy as it has more features than our 2007 IS250 6spd manual.

Taka- Happy to hear you received a temporary car from Lexus. I would be happy with anything save to seat 4 persons safely. We take the stock 2IS when going out with family; so anything with 4 doors be good for me!
I don't know why Lexus give run-around and just do it and give the rental.
Normally, by myself, I take my lowered 2GS, and oh man, when seating 4 persons with elderly do not like bumpy lower cars.
i do like my low with stiff suspension.
