Help with 1997 SR5 possible purchase

[jreask]

I am looking at a 1997 SR5 Desert Dune Metallic. It has 206K miles on it. The exterior is in great shape, as is the interior. The frame and undercarriage is completely rust free. Is there anything that I should pay particular attention to when I drive/inspect it? Anything pertinent to this particular model year?
He is asking $3900 for it.


Thanks for the input.

The early build V6 '97's were potentially part of the 5VZFE head gasket recall.

I don't remember what the cut-off date is to not be affected by the recall, but my 7/21/97 build date 4Runner was built late enough in the year that it wasn't part of the recall.

Mine had a rear suspention recall, but otherwise I don't remember anything else.
