Bought 2004 2.5 that has been sitting for a long time. At startup, it smokes a bunch of white smoke.

White smoke is generally coolant getting into the cylinder, you may have a small blowout in the head gasket.
Does the smoke smell sweet?
If it is just condensation it should have burned off by now, change the oil/filter to be sure.
