I would figure tires, tubes, and cables, plus a total clean and regrease---but if it really is in "like new" condition, then the really worrying items --wheel bearings, headset bearings, bottom bracket bearings---should all be fine. For $50-$100 you will have a lifetime bike---if it really is "like new."
