I wonder when the last time it was driven. Did you take note of the expiration date on the license plate?
Also, how long ago the bogging down symptoms? Before he parked it or when he tried to get it going again? Could be just tempermental from sitting for a long time.
Unless he says it had the problem before it was parked, assume for all he knows, the engine bogs down in gear because the tires are stuck to the ground.
I agree with Nixon, $500 and that's if you can drive it. You're doing him a favor if you have haul it away.
