The first thing I'd look for on a diesel that's been sitting is,could the fuel tank be contaminated? This is usually done by removing the fuel level sending unit and looking closely with a good small flashlite. If this looks good start your ownership adventure by changing all! of the fluids. This will provide a base line for future service and save many potetial failures. I'll second the $2,000.00 bid. This could be a car with many untaped miles and with the fuel price trend you would be headed in a good direction.
