Sitting a car is as bad as not changing the oil. When it gets hot/cold outside, condensation forms inside your engine. Daily driven cars burn this excess water off - sitting cars, it mixes with oil, and more quickly changes the lubricating effectiveness of your oil.
A car sitting for a very long time does more damage to internal organs than cars driven daily. Your engine oil "stays up" on critical engine parts for days...but an engine sitting for weeks or months has had all the oil drip down to the pan. The majority of engine damage is caused when starting your engine due to the fact that the drip down happened...the longer a car sits, the more oil is in the pan, the worse the metal on metal dry start is for the engine.
Sitting gas is very bad for your fuel lines, and with ethanol, more likely to do damage. Suspension parts that sit for long periods can be damaged, and sitting is very bad on tires. And, of course, your seals were meant to be lubricated daily with oil.
As long as you're willing to spend the money when these items come up, buy it and love it!
