Depends on if you want to keep a friend. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

If it runs, drives good, does not overheat, charges the battery, and the brakes work, the rest depends on the deal. Are you offering anything other than a tail light guarantee?

Both of my last 2 Monteros sat with dead engines for some time. My latest LS got a replacement motor, was driven for 400 miles. No leakage, it did what it needed to do. I changed out the tires and drove it 1100 miles cross country. Then I went wheeling. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/evil.gif" alt="" />

Drive it a bit then give it a good looking over like you would before any trip. The wheel bearings should only be a problem if it sat with water inside the hub. If they have never been repacked as far as you know, refreshing the grease would be a nice touch. I'm guessing with all of the brake work, the fluid has been replaced. Fluids in the axles, trans, transfer case OK? sometimes after sitting seals may start to leak.
