As the others have said, an auto non-turbo is dog slow. The tranny has only three speeds, and with no turbo, it's pretty clear why they didn't drive it.
A lot depends on what they did to put it away. If they just parked it, I wouldn't touch the car. The fuel is now varnish, and the oil in the crankcase is sludge. Pretty good chance that there is rust in the cylinders. Much of the rubber bits have deteriorated.
For $2K, you should be able to find a nice car that isn't 15 years old, that has a turbo, and that you have some reasonable confidence is in running condition. Even if this one starts up, it may shortly start burning oil from scored cylinders, or puking oil and or coolant from shrunken seals.
