Might be buying a Tii

Well, on my way from driving home from school i passed by a house near where i live and i noticed a S5 FC in the garage. I stop by the house knock on the door and tell the lady that im really interested in buying this Tii...Apparently the car is her husbands but her husband has been dead for 2 years and shes been holding on to it. She told me that she doesnt want to sell it but keep asking her...

The car is black the interior and exterior are in excellent condition....In case i do buy the car here is my concern. Since the car hasnt been running and just sitting for two years do u think its going to need a rebuild since the parts and seals havent been lubricated for awhile. I heard the seals might be dried up and be brittle? Thanks...

I would put some oil in the spark pluug holes to lubricate them and help build compression. You should all so put in soem new gas since the one in the tank is bad already.

Shouldn't be that bad of a problem. The thing is, you might get very very lucky when comes to how much she sells it to you for. Older folks don't know the price range for these cars, and will probably sell it to you very cheap! Makes me jelous. Good Luck!!!
