Default buying car help pleaaase

i dont have a lot of money so i was looking for a cheap car i found a 1990 integra LS
no dents looks pretty nice in and out for a 90
114k $2000
good transmission + engine old guy sellin it
i test drove it.. didnt see any problems with it

the only thing thats bothering me is the car hasnt been on the road for 5 years, its been run but not really driven
i plan on doing a tuneup (oil, timing belt, brakes, clutch) for it and all but does anyone think that the car could give me some more serious problems bc it hasnt been driven in so long

let me know what u think and what could possibly go wrong with it.. thanks alot

I have my car in storage (over a year now), and it still rides clean. If the car was run periodically, and well maintained while being stored it should not be of no problems. But, for that long I do not know. If what you say is true, and rides clean, I would not see a problem.

thanks for the input
yea.. someone told me that cars that havent been driven in that long of a time may seem okay but then after a hundred miles or so things start to go wrong..

and what kind of things will happen if the guy really HASNT run the car periodically?
