No panics yet: Toyota coolant is red, newer Toyotas have pink coolant which some people use in place of the red. There's also aftermarket Japanese coolant but I've never used it so don't know what color it is.

Did the person you bought the car from replaced the radiator because of pink milkshake or as maintenance/preventative measure?
