I've had first hand experience with what happens to a car when its left to stand..restoring a car that was sat for 3 years.. on the list of things for any potential new owner is the possible need to replace ALL rubber.. So.. drive shaft boots, ball joint covers, steering rack etc, + all pipes, fuel line joins, all bushings, hoses, belts, brake calliper seals. not to mention tyres!
Hopefully the brakes themselves are ok, as 9 times out of 10 you have to replace the hole lot.
The other annoyance that fuel sat in a car for that length of time will be utter ****e and I wouldn't chose to light a BBQ with let alone start a scoob. so a tank drain and top up or if your brave some octane additive and a limp to a shell station.

All that said 3500 is bloody low miles
