Have the mechanic check the steering rack for play in the bushings. I bought mine with less than those miles and that was the only thing wrong with it.

Rear door weather stripping seams to want to loosen toward the back of the door frame...Check for any in cabin water damage. (known problem)
Other than that...An 02 with 50K, that should be a really great find. Make sure you do the usual used car check...Accidents Bla Bla Bla...other than that unless others can chime in here I love my 02

Thanks for your suggestions.
If I had posted this question with regards to a 2nd gen I know I would have got a lot more feedback -- this must be a strong testament to the 3rd gens!

I'm sure the 4runner is back out of your nephew's hands by now. If not, you may have the mechanic inspect the rear axle seals.
