Default Parked 10 years

Looking at purchasing a 2007 crossfire that has not been moved in 10 years. What major issues should I look at before I even start or move it? Any help would be appreciated.

Here is a start. Thanks to onehundred80 and Valk.
I think a lot will depend on how the car was stored.
I stored my 1975 Kawasaki 900 Z1 for over 20 years.
Started third kick. But I had stored it right and replaced a few parts before trying to start it.

What to look for when buying a Crossfire.

Replace fluids, belts, hoses and tires, at minimum.

It depends on the price of the car and the cost of checking and/or replacing almost every fluid and seal on and in the car. I am not too sure I would take on the task unless the car was given to me. Just my honest opinion...

When you go look at the car, check the oil and see if it's milky, or black, or if there's even any in it. You will definitely need a new battery, unless the seller has replaced it. Make sure to see if there were any animals living in it.
The gas is going to be bad. It's going to need a lot of TLC. However if the price is right, you can budget money for the parts to get it back to a good runner. Good luck!
