Evo 8 with 2k miles service?

I just bought and Evo 8 2005, with 2000 miles / 3000 km on the odometer

Completely stock, used for exhibition mainly, very low miles

What kind of service should I do?

I already ordered some mods, including cams and timing belt, should I do tensioner, water pump, and everything else or I'm ok with just the belt?

Thanks for you opinion / suggestions

Are you serious? I do that mileage in 6 weeks.

To answer your question, just fill it up with gas.

Thanks for your replys

I know it is new! but still it has some years with no use, thought that some things might need replacement

I'm doing at least an oil and filter change, for now

As long as it was sitting indoors a majority of the time it should be fine. If it was sitting in the sun where the rubber can get dried out and crack then yes I would replace it. But i'm sure the car is fine, so just save the parts for a later time

I'm not in the US, but I got a good deal

If my dash is in Km, how do I know where did it came the evo? I mean, I guess is not USDM

Or could it be USDM with just the km dash

any way to know?

I'm guessing it was neglected? Soo dusty!
