Try new spark plugs and new gas? All other fluids ok?

Why would you stay away? Thats such a good price, is it og gas? replace all fluids, plugs, everything and it should be good

Drain the gas out, 2 drain plugs on underside of fuel tank. Add new gas. Then ...

1) Swap out fuel filter with oem unit (trust me on that)

2) Swap in new battery and check for corrosion on terminals while you are at it.

3) Swap in new spark plugs or at least clean them if then need it.

4) Check fusible link (small fuse box next to battery, 2nd one)

5) Check that fuel pump is kicking on and priming the line before crank.

Keep us updated and we'll get you started.
