I guess that depends on what you want to do with the car. Are you thinking about modding it?

If an automatic I would suggest draining and refilling the fluid a few times.
Also when was the last time the timing belt was changed?

1st thing I'd do 1st is to fill the gas tank, check the air in the tires and the oil and go for a long 100 mile ride out and then back to see how it handles and how it rides. Write it down and then fix what's needed fixed and then think about some kind of mods..

Good suggestion.?

It can help, but its not going to be drastic.
