Do an engine inspection first - make sure it isn't seized. Connect a scanner to the dlc port and make sure you can communicate with the pcm.

Agree with stamp11127

What do you mean by "it died and now won't do anything"
Does it crank or doesn't it??
If it cranks over but doesn't start then try spraying some starter fluid into the throttle body while someone try's to start it. If it attempts to start then it could be a fuel problem.

Is it an 04 or 05 Makes a big difference as the fuel pump circuits are different.

You need to give better information as to what she was doing when the expy died.

Any codes?? Sounds fuel related at the moment if it cranks.

Could be fuel pump (easy) or timing chains (hard), crank sensor (easy), or underwatwr in hurricane (hard). Get a code scanner and get the codes first.

You need to go look at it and see if cranks. If it does then you know the engine isn't seized after that check for codes, then you can decide. With an engine with that many miles, you'll have to do timing chains, cam phasers, chain tensioners, eventually. My 05 had 146K on it when I traded it in and I was facing that kind of engine work in the next 15-20K miles.
