Both my Diablo and Ferrari sat for years before I acquired them. You'll run into a few things:
1. Startup costs: What it takes to get all the deferred maintenance that you know about taken care of
2. Re-uses costs: Things no inspection reveals but becomes obvious as you add mileage. (e.g. brittle vacuum hoses, etc.)
Both cars required about $10k to get into good service again, and I anticipate another $5k or so to still discover (1998 Diablo that sat since 2016, 1993 512TR that sat was stored since 2013). Both cars were well stored in garages.
