    I would check for cam tower leak. It's not the norm but better to know.

    Check for any documented service record history. Any Toyota dealer can get you that with a VIN number. If that 1794 is in decent shape then 25K isn't too far off the mark with 101K miles.

    This right here. Plenty of pics here to make yourself familiar with what a cam tower leak looks like. Also, the rear diff cover seems to be leaky on a lot of member's trucks. Its not a make or brake, the rear covers are usually wet, not leaking. But you could use that to bring down the cost. When they covered mine under warranty the parts and labor was around 900 bucks

    If you can't [or aren't willing] to say, "No" and walk away, you're not in a negotiation.

    P.S. I'm not giving advice; I'm quoting the FBI's most famous hostage negotiator. He also says that you want to get the person you are negotiating with to a "No" answer. Kind of like, "Do you want me to walk away from this deal?" Then, let them figure out how to keep the deal together. They know how to solve the [their own] problem.:D
