What to look for when buying

[FSUt4r]

Well I managed to find 4runners, and later stumbled upon this forum about 2 weeks ago. I am not the biggest off-roader but something like a 4runner could change that. I've been searching daily on every craigslist site in the surrounding areas and have seen a few good looking runners. As a first time buyer (parents bought my first car which my sister now drives) what should I look for especially in a 4runner.

If its got 90K miles or 6 years old make sure the Timing belt and water pump have been changed. Pull up the VIN and check it out for accidents/recalls/warranty work.
