what kind of repairs would a car thats been sitting for a year need? its a 04 corolla, owner said he had to jump start it so im thinking at least battery replacement
Tire rotation, tire pressure, battery, fuel pump, corrosion in gas tank/cap.

guy is asking 1200 for needing tires and muffler, is it worth buying?
This is how you know no one on /o/ knows shit.
Rotating the tires of a car that has been sitting?
Step one, hear it run
Step two, hear it go into gear
Step three
Brakes.
Don't do anything else till youve made sure your brakes.arent seized and the rotors aren't pitted as fuck

The people who live across the street from me have a Grand Am sitting in their driveway that's been there for at least a year and a half, maybe longer... the tires are flat, and the lower panels are turning green with algae. It belongs to a cousin who moved from another state, but never got her DL here. Honestly if I was them I would have told that bitch to either sell it or get the fuck out
Check the air filter, mice are known to build nests in the filter box.
And do an oil change.
