Not the greatest pics (one's from the ad), but good enough for now

The bad: A little hen-pecking in the paint all across the front bumper; 213k mi (I know, not that big a deal)

The good: Everything else (everything works but the broken antenna!!).

Juicy details can be found in my sig line.

It looks like a nice ride, did the PO keep up the maintenance?

As far as I can tell...clean oil, clean-ish air filter, engine runs smooth and quiet, new clutch a couple of months ago.

What aboutthe timing belt?

 

[damagnan]

They'd had it a year and a half didn't know...and one thing I don't know: do these have timing belts or chains?

factory hood . ?

Yep, as far as I know (i think it's the SR5 Sport package)...just noticed too that there's a little dam behind the mesh at the hood scoop opening. I wonder if that comes out...

3.4 is a non interference engine so no great worries on a broken belt

Right on. And by right on I mean: that sounds good for me but I have no idea what it means. (Off to google I go!)

It means if the belt breaks that the pistons don't go slamming into the valves, so no major damage.

Got it--did some looking around on the interwebs and found about the same info. Thanks!
