You can take it to a Toyota dealer for a pre-purchase inspection, if the owner agrees. Any significant and unreported problems that get discovered can either become the reason for bargaining on the price or for walking away from a "lemon."

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
