Mom gave me the C4
Parents bought this car new in 89. Man it needs some help!! 80000 miles on it. But they let in sit in the senior home parking lot for the last 10 years. Runs good but anything rubber or plastic needs to be replace.

C4 of Year Finalist (appearance mods) 2019
Welcome to the forum and welcome to C4. 80K is nothing on a C4 but you're right you will need to change a lot of rubber parts and perhaps some plastic ones as well (vacuum connections).
Also and this is important ... every fluid in the car needs to be changed out. Radiator, brake fluid, oil, trans fluid and rear diff fluid.
All of your questions can be answered in the C4 section. Also by learning to used the "advanced search" function. The great thing is that everything that you will need to do has already been done by any number of folks here and documented in the forum over the years.
