It would take time to haul it home, take it apart and salvage.....it would be more of a hobby project than a money maker for anyone. This bike is 28 years old and has been sitting outside for 3 years......all the trouble free years are probably used up!

Concur. It's like buying a 30 year old car: ALL the rubber parts and seals are probably shot. Parts bike, for sure, not something to buy if you plan on riding any time soon with any money left in your pocket. It's not like it's a classic bike and a restoration will bring it back to some value. You'll basically have a 1,200-1,600.00 bike when you're done spending 2K or more (especially if you're having a shop do any work) fixing all the stuff on it.
