What to look for when checking out a SC'ed 4runner

I found a 2002 supercharged 4runner 4x4, with 93k on it for $14,000. What should i look at when i go to see it. Keep in mind ive never owned a toyota before.

My main goal is reliability. Knowing that would you guys either by a:

99 4runner with 113k on it- $10000

02 4runner supercharged with 93k- $14000

i know its a toss up but in general. How reliable can the SC'ed 4runners be? the same? less?

Whatever opinions and advice you have is appreciated. I need a effen 4runner! Sc'ed would be sick too!!



NEVERMIND: ITS BEEN IN 2 ACCIDENTS

im guessing most people will reply to look if it has fuel upgrades. i dont personally have a sc, but from what ive read here and there on the board for years is that the stock fuel system cant keep up with the sc, esp if it has a higher boost pulley. lean burn, pinging etc can mean mayhem for the engine...but idk. make sure it wasnt abused either

How long has the SC been on the 02? And does it have fuel mods..ie 7th injector or URD fuel kit? If not, I'd go for the 99.
