Gas was good 6 years ago, when did I miss the press release on that one? Gas has never been "good" stored more than 6 months or so, but a bigger concern is the coolant, and this "running" it was doing when parked, was it running "well"?
Do you have any repair records?
Have you done a carfax and autocheck report?
Why was it parked?
Why is it being sold?
Do NOT try to start it, the 86 is an interference engine and any issues with the timing belt which should be changed every 5 years or 50k miles, can be very expensive to repair.
What are your intentions for the car?
If you plan to sell it, stop doing anything, close to 100% of anything you do will greatly reduce your profit. Wash it, clean and condition the interior, find a buyer.
If you plan to keep it, and have the money it will take to fix it regardless of damage you may find once it runs, stop doing anything and have an expert with the 928 look it over.
If it is a 70k mile car, not a 70k mile odometer, that has a big impact on the value, but condition is still the primary factor, and that needs expert eyes to decide. This is where I would start if I was going to keep it. That is the biggest question, is it the 928 that you want? To honor and cherish, and dump truck loads of money into?
