"Will not move in neutral" is another indicator that the brakes are stuck.

If the rear wheels will not turn when jacked off the ground, I recommend removing the rear rotors/parking brake drums and having them trued-up. (If you don't replace them) <<--- recently brought an old Corolla back to life, and the rusty rear drums prevented the parking brake from holding. :eek:

I've never heard of rotors warping from rust,
If a car sits too long, the the pads can't grip rusty areas as well as the areas that were covered by the pads, while it was sitting. This would cause pulsation during braking.

Turning the rotors slightly would take care of this issue of course, but shops always want to replace....takes them less time.

On the rear, the parking brake probably wouldn't hold on the rusty areas, either.
