Looking at a 1990 SR5 4Runner
What should I look out for and what questions should I ask? The miles on it are like 190,000 and an Auto Tranny.
Thank you.
Thank you.

What motor has it got in it? Then we could help you more. Other than that, just make sure you check everything out well. Any rust spots? How's the underbelly? Any mud or damage can indicate some off-roading. Check for any fluid leaks, as well as the condition and fluid level. If it is a 3.0, ask if the head gaskets have been done. Check for any odd noises in the engine. The 3.0 is generally a loud motor, so some ticking is normal. If it is the 22RE, some loud tapping in the front of the motor indicates a new timing chain and guides are in order. 190,000 is alot of miles, but either of these motors can make it to 250-300,000 when maintained well. Good luck!

3.0 V6, I emailed the seller about 40 minutes ago if the HG Recall was done or not, I should see and the description says rust spots.
I will call and see if I can go see it this weekend or next week.
