Without it running even with the low mileage you won't get much for it. Fuel pumps do not die from sitting.

One of the main issues is probably the ancient stale gas in the tank. It's several years old and is only slightly more flammable than water.It needs to be drained. The fuel filter ($20.00 or so) will need replacing for sure. The fuel pump may or may not be dead.
When you turn on the key before the start position you should be able to hear the relay and the pump run briefly.
The fuel injectors may need cleaning but if you get it running some Techron fuel injector cleaner in a couple of tanks of gas could do the trick.
The bottom line is the car needs to be driven or at least started much more often.
Does it sit unused in a garage or is it outside in the elements?
