I've been here a long time, sure I answered a question or two from you in the past.
As far as the car goes, depends on how well that 10K was driven, why it was parked, and how it was parked. Some places have rubber deterioration problems but rust is non-existent. Garage can be heated, dry but damp, a dirt floor barn, dry and concrete floor, again, still have to look at things, squeeze rubber hoses and see what the pinch difference looks. Cracks, crumbly, hard, or anything other than normal may be something to fix sooner than later, fluid changes of all fluids including brake fluid would be a good thing, grease everything up, check the brake hoses and linings, condition of the tires, and if the price is right, after the inspection, determine how much should be reduced in order to replace the rubber parts, fluids and tires out of safety if nothing else.
