Pete;
No doubt this is the truck?
1989 4Runner V6 CLEAN!
I have seen that thing on CL for many months now. Doesn't seem to be selling, not sure why other than his price is quite high.
Off the top of my head, I see the following issues:
-Bad Radiator (cracked as stated, likely leaked out water, overheated engine)
-Valance MIA
-Bumper end caps MIA
-Appears lightly hit in the front?
-Has power package, but power mirrors have been replaced with manual mirrors
Without seeing the engine bay its pretty difficult to ascertain what aftermarket or "young kid" fixes have been performed.
The 3.0 is a known problem motor, that was poorly designed. IF you decide to fix it, make sure you use OEM parts and do it right the first time. I would personally suggest doing a 3.4L swap, but I understand its not for everyone. TorFab is a great local option for engine swaps (
TorFab).
Just be sure to check it over really well, and keep an open mind; it IS 24 years old after all. But if the owner claims CLEAN, it darn well better be clean for that asking price.
