Here they're steel ball with a plastic/teflon liner like a heim joint and the ball has a pin that limits rotation this is the part that fails, never seen them with a plastic ball....
No "plastic" bushes in my Mk3 nor any I've worked on, the Sphericals are Steel but can be destroyed if they've been tightened unloaded then put back on the ground...
Why would it sag? the car lives it's entire life on it's wheels...
As long as it's not sitting outside it should be fine, I'd fill it with fuel so you don't get condensation in the tank then if needs be drain it and refill when you fire it back up or possible dump a shitload of octane booster...
I'd put it on stands under the lower control arms, maybe pull the plugs and squirt some Oil into the bores then rotate the cranks a few turns to spread it around.
Hence my 1/5th of the way there post, add in some fluids and bits and pieces and you're "there" but still have a second hand engine of unknown quality...
