Nothing too serious, but items that need attention nevertheless.

I am thinking about buying a Toyota 4Runner RWD SR5 with 133,000 miles on it. I am going for a test drive today but it looks like it is in perfect condition accept a small oil leak I was told about. A few of my buddies told me to not buy it because it had so many miles, but I think they are great vehicles and last forever. Is there anything I should about like different problems before I get this???? Please get back to me ASAP! Thanks. PS- Any information will help me big time, seeing that I got screwed on my last deal. Replies to this message: nedzel (Jan 24, 2008 11:19 am)
