It was probably flooded, or has low compression.

You will need to change the fluids (including the gas- I am sure it is bad by now), as well as probably the spark plugs and battery and then see if you can get it started

Not running and that many miles is pretty rough. Depending on the interior and exterior condition and model I would pay between $500 and $1000.
