Default SC 300 sitting since 2007

1st post here on this forum: Thanks for the add.......
Plan to purchase a 93-94? SC300 today.
It was parked in 2007 in the driveway down the street when the retired female owner purchased a new 2007 Lexus.
It seems in good shape with 79k miles, no rust etc. White/Tan, auto, gold emblems. And was said to be running fine when parked.
Started this thread for advice on getting it back on the road.
Plan to drain the gas, change fluids, pull the plugs add some oil, new batt, tires once its running etc.
Just looking for some tips, online manual?, advice etc.
Thanks!............

Gas tank and fuel pump assembly will be rusty, so you'll need both of those. Most likely gummed injectors, too...potential fuel lines...spark plugs...

Just went through this with a '95 ES300 that had been sitting since 2010. Started right up after all of those parts.
