Help w/ buying a 97 Runner
Hello all. I am looking at a 97 4runner tommorrow and am wondering what I should be wary of, what items I should be on the lookout for. Any issues w/ the drivetrain or common issues that the casual buyer wouldn't notice?
TIA!

Re: Help w/ buying a 97 Runner
If it's a 22RE 4 cyl, when was the Timing Chain last replaced?
If it's a 3.0 V6 same for the Timing Belt, and has it ever had the Head Gaskets replaced under the Service Campaign? Has the Steering Relay Rod been replaced under the Service Campaign?

Thanks for the help. Took a look at it. actually had 180xxx miles on it, no service records. There was a slight whine when accelerating, the greater the accleration, the less the noise was prevalent. Sounded loike the blower motor was about to go out any second and no records on the truck. They wanted $3500 firm, but it also needed brakes and was filthy, not worth it, imo. The search continues.
