Do I need to disconnect the battery if I just let the car sit in the garage for 15 days? any other stuff I need to do to safely store the car?

I'd rather not risk using it inside the village, while it has controlled access I don't think it qualifies as having private roads since there are commercial areas inside, there are also police and traffic enforcer outposts, I'd rather not become a victim of this country's notorious government crooks.

Many thanks in advance.

If that’s the case, just leave it at the dealer nalang.

That’s what i did with my truck eh. Truck arrived at around first week of December. Picked it up around December 20 na.

no special preparation whatsoever.

if i may,
the ORCR requirement is for public roads.
does your homeowners' association have provision ruling for such?

The homeowner's association doesn't have any clear rules, went to them a few days ago and gave conflicting advice. One said it's alright to drive around then another recommended that I refrain from driving the vehicle until I get the OR/CR so as not to invite trouble from the police or enforcers.

Thank you. I'll consider that, even though I've heard stories where some people from dealerships abuse the cars left in their care and do some tinkering so as to conceal signs of it.

Just leave it in your parking lot while waiting for papers.. no need to disconnect anything

that being the case,
use your car within the confines of the private village.
you should be fine.

if by the book and follow rules, hindi po talaga pwedeng gamitin. but if needed naman for convenience rather than commuting, and that's why you bought a car, pwede din naman, nobody will notice as long as you have the conduction plate attached on the plate area and have the papers handy in your car. just don't commit any violations and you'll be all good. if ever naman pinara ka and asked for papers or stuff, you can always alibi na kaka release lang or you just got it from the casa then papa gas mo lang cya then you're driving it home.

years ago,
my SA gave me multiple copies of the same document, each dated differently...
"doc, heto pang this week.. itong pangalawa, ay for next week... and for the week after that, ito naman, and..."
heh heh.
