Dude - SEVERAL years in driveway. That's scary. You'll have an interesting fuel system to deal with. Syphon the old crap out, put fresh premium, borrow a battery and fire it up. See if you can get it to run. Then commit to taking it.

I love re-surrecting dead cars, so I would at lest want to play. A borrowed battery and some gas is all you'll need to find out more.

My resurrections were all earlier models - carbureted - which is fairly easy. I don't have much experience with fuel injected modern cars. One I did was a 93 Pas****, but it didn't sit that long and still started, albeit intermittently. I tossed about 1.5k and a lot of time at it and sold it for 3800 a year later. It cost me $700 to buy. This was when it was only 7 years old!

Have fun, but know when to pull the plug! Before you buy tires, which would be the next step ... also don't be shy to flip the darn thing and share some of the proceeds with your friend. It likely beats owning it long term.
