96 4runner, over 300K on it, what to look for?

Its got a lot of miles on it, the ad says theres not anything wrong with it, Tbelt replaced, etc. But when i go look, what should I look for? its 4wd, auto, 3.4, limited, etc. Never had a 3rd gen so Im not sure. Looks great from the pics though.

Thanks.

I would make sure the t-belt has been replaced, make sure the tranny is shifting smoothly, any diff sevice.. No loud ticking at the engine. Other than that, it's a Toyota. With the 3.4. Those miles don't scare me. What's the asking price?

I've got 254K on mine(1996). When I did the tbelt, I also did the water pump, since I'd have to take the tbelt off to get the water pump off anyway.

Other than that, If you arent sure about the fluids, get them all changed and new plugs, oil change and whatever else you can think of thats cheap and easy maintenance.

Could need O2 sensor or something like that too. But I've never had any problems.
