What needs to be done to get an MX6 running that 's been parked for years?

Asked by Sentraedi Nov 01, 2017 at 09:09 AM about the 1993 Mazda MX-6 2 Dr LS Coupe

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Hi,

I came across a low mileage (47K) 1993 Mazda MX6 LS that's been stitting for 12 years.  I'm told it was in great running condition previously.

So I'd like to know what needs to be done to get it running again and see if it's worth the effort / cost.

Thanks for your help and advice.

first ignore what the seller said , do a compression test on all cylinders to see if the motor is any good , get some fogging oil in the cylinders before you crank it over ,, before you start it the gas tank and lines will have to be cleaned out , it's not rusted out underneath is it ?
