Thanks everyone for the feedback. I want to expand on my first post. The car belongs to my brother-in-law; therefore, I have known the car since he purchased it new. The miles are exact and the condition of the car is not in question other than what we can't see. He hasn't driven the car much in the last 10 years but he started it occasionally and drove it around the neighborhood several times per year. I think he was holding on to it to give it to one of his three sons but none of them are inclined to appreciate what it could be; hence, his desire now to sell it.
Minimal rust means there are very few places on the car that has rust but there are some small places that do. There is no massive rust out of body panels. It is a very solid car, having been parked in his garage when not being driven. That is what I meant when I said that it had been stored. There was a leak in the convertible top and water did soak the rear passenger side carpet during a short period when he left it outside. The other carpets (white) are just dirty and maybe they will clean up. As far as cosmetics, I intend to do all that myself but as far as mechanicals I will leave that to my mechanic. I hope the strarting problem is related to the DME and as soon as I figure out how to get the seat moved (the emergency retractor isn't working either) so that I can get to it, I can continue with the diagnostics of the problem of no fuel. Hopefully, this clarifies a few points that were of concern and rightfully so. Many thanks for your comments. -RBAT10
