If the vehicle has heat-soaked in the sun, running the fan will purge it of much of the heat load, bringing the interior down to ambient. Much better than maybe 120-degrees or more. SO, don't discount the timer based fan capability...the a/c will be able to fully cool it down quicker once you do start it up. Now, if it is overcast and nasty, you'll not have any solar heat buildup, and yes, it proably would be a waste...depends on where you live, and the current conditions.
