Default 1991 Talon With Just Over 3500 Original Miles

My friend Ed just got a 1991 Talon TSI AWD with just over 3500 original miles. The guy that had it before passed away and it say for 15 years in a garage. It has the stock tires on it too. Not to mention he only paid 2 grand!!!!!! I think thats badass. Anyone know how much it would be to rent a truck to pick it up?

I am asking you guys what to do before the engine is turned over. All i can think of is change all belts and fluids and drain the tank. Anyone got anything else to add?

how much did he pay for a car like that?well anyways, so belts, oil, pressure in all cylinders, check if all the gauges work(you never know). maybe gaskets?(its been sitting a long time).

everything is gonna be tight. like when i bought my truck, it rode like crap for a while because it sat and now its ok. maybe plugs and wire. probably give it a tune up.

What seals should be changed? Seriously... its spotless. The valve cover hasnt got a mark on it. There is no corrosion of any kind anyware on the car...
